Team begins Div. I water polo playoffs as #4 seed Joe Naiman Village News Correspondent
F a l l b r o o k H i g h S c h o o l ’s water polo team will open CIF playoff competition tomorrow (Friday, Nov. 13) at La Jolla High School’s Coggan Pool. The Warriors were seeded fourth in the CIF Division I playoffs and received a firstround bye. “That’s a good seed for us,” said Fallbrook coach Bill Richardson. The regular season ended with Fallbrook accumulating a 16-13 record, including a 5 - 0 Va l l e y L e a g u e m a r k which gave the Warriors their second consecutive league championship. Fallbrook’s final
league competition, an 18-10 home victory against Ramona on Oct. 28, was sandwiched between five games in the San Diego Open tournament in which the Warriors placed seventh. The San Diego Open format places teams deemed equally skilled in the same first-day bracket, so Fallbrook was given seventh place even though the Warriors only won two of those five games. Fallbrook was 2-1 against CIF San Diego Section teams, and all three of those were considered to be among the county’s top 10. “It was a great opportunity to play quality opponents,” Richardson said. Fallbrook’s two Oct. 26 contests
were both at the Valhalla High School pool. The Warriors opened play with a 12-10 loss to fourthranked Torrey Pines.
“It was a great opportunity to play quality opponents” Coach Bill Richardson “We came out flat,” Richardson said. “Didn’t play very well at the beginning of the game.” The Falcons had a 5-0 lead after the end of the first quarter and had a 6-0 lead before the Warriors
narrowed the final halftime margin to 8-3. “We came back,” Richardson said. “ We f i n i s h e d s t r o n g , ” Richardson said. “Started just playing for the moment and started chipping away at the score.” Fallbrook’s other Oct. 26 match was a 19-12 victory against eighth-ranked Westview. The Warriors had a 6-2 lead after one period and a 12-6 halftime advantage. “We played really, really well,” Richardson said. “We just really were clicking offensively and defensively.”

F a l l b r o o k H i g h S c h o o l ’s football team will continue its season tomorrow at home against Hilltop. The CIF playoff selection and seeding meeting Nov. 7 included the designation of Fallbrook as the seventh seed in the Division III playoffs. The Warriors will be seeking their first post-season victory since 2009. “We’re still looking for the first playoff win,” said Fallbrook head football coach Kyle Williams. “We can’t talk about winning a CIF championship until we win a playoff game.” Fallbrook ended the regular season Nov. 6 with a 21-6 home victory over Del Norte. “Del Norte came out fired up,” Williams said. “Our guys were able to match their intensity the first half and out execute them the second half.”
