The Amador Valley High boys’ varsity water polo team wrapped up its season last week with an opening-round postseason loss to league rival Monte Vista High.
The ninth-seeded Dons fell to the No. 8 seed from Danville 12-8 in the first round of the North Coast Section (NCS) Division 1 tournament on Nov. 6. The game was played at Danville’s San Ramon Valley High.
Amador Valley finished the regular season at 18-5 and brought home a tournament championship at the California Capital Challenge earlier in the season.
The Dons completed East Bay Athletic League play with a come-from-behind win against crosstown rival Foothill High late last month.
The Foothill varsity team also qualified for the year-end NCS tournament, but the Falcons (seeded 11th) dropped their opener to No. 6 Sir Francis Drake High (San Anselmo) 15-6 on Nov. 6 at Miramonte High School.
The two Pleasanton schools’ junior varsity teams also matched up at the end of the regular season, with Amador Valley coming out on top.
