Coming off its third DFAL championship in a row, the Campolindo boys JV water polo team continued its success, opening the 2015 campaign with two local tournament wins. On Sept. 12, the boys won the annual eight-team Miramonte JV Tournament, beating De La Salle and Miramonte before besting San Ramon Valley in the final. The following weekend, the Cougars won the inaugural David Shortenhaus Memorial Tournament hosted by Las Lomas, which featured 16 of the strongest local teams. The boys beat Heritage, Sacred Heart, Redwood and Bellarmine on their way to the championship game. In a thrilling final against perennial power Miramonte, the Cougars came away with a close win, keeping their undefeated record intact. The Cougars' offensive attack was led by Cole Lauritzen and William Faoro, who were named co-MVP's of the tournament. DFAL play began Sept. 30.
