Seven members of the 2008 Miramonte Boys Water Polo began playing water polo together at age 12, and continued playing together for seven straight years, which was climaxed by their senior year in high school. Their senior year the team was named the High School Team of the Year (all sports) by ESPN Rise magazine. During the 2008 season the team won the Schmitt Tournament, North-South Challenge, took second place at the Memorial State Tournament, and won their fourth straight North Coast Section Championship.
