Eleven boys represented the Lamorinda Water Polo Club in this prestigious tournament: Tommy Bush, Andrew Forbes, Andrew Furtado, Jack Garrett, Jack Hillman, Jacob Kennedy, Tyler Kirschberg, Grant Sivesand, Clay Smudsky, Tucker Stone, and Austin Wetzel. Playing six games against tough competition from the top water polo regions of California, Lamorinda out-played its opponents. The championship game against Orange County Water Polo Club proved to be a tough match up but Lamorinda pulled out a 3-2 win a hard fought game.
Boyd LaChance, Director of Lamorinda Waterpolo Club, said "Coach Derek Schauffler has always promoted team play, hard work, and defense as the foundation of team success and the boys clearly demonstrated this by winning this difficult and competitive tournament."
