This weekend’s Santa Barbara’s Tournament of Champions is a CIF girls water polo bonanza. The entire Southern Section Division 1 top 10 is entered, along with the top four teams in Division 2, the top two in Division 4 and a perennial powerhouse program from San Diego.
Laguna Beach, Foothill, Newport Harbor and Corona del Mar are the top four seeds in the field of 21. Laguna Beach, the defending CIF-champion, is led by MacKenzie Fischer, a lethal goal scorer who helped the USA Water Polo youth team win a world championship over the summer.
Games are being played at three locations: Santa Barbara High School, San Marcos High School and Dos Pueblos High School.
