Bonita boys water polo opens playoffs with 20-4 win over PHS: Bonita High School water polo coach John Ashby calls it a “natural goal.” The Bearcats’ attack is anything but natural. It’s lightning-quick. It’s decimating. It has carried the Bearcats to the top of the CIF-Southern Section polls and the top seed for the Division 5 tournament.
