The El Segundo boys water polo team seems to be in good hands with first-year coach Jordan Watson, a former Palos Verdes High and Pepperdine University standout. El Segundo took 21st place out of 64 teams in the Riverside Poly Tournament, which boasts very good competition.
"We have a pretty young team, so it was a great weekend, everyone improved," Watson said.
Watson inherited a CIF Southern Section Division V championship team, but only a couple starters remain from that squad in 2-meter man Jackson Hogoboom and goalkeeper Chris Cordobes.
"People say you can build a team around a 2-meter man and a goalie," Watson said. "And Jackson brings a lot of energy, he's passionate about the game."
El Segundo (4-2) was moved up to Division III this season.
"We have something to prove in the new division," Watson said. "I'm excited about the season."
