Goalie Jonas Ransford will help JSerra replace Olympian Ryder Dodd after going 30-0 last season in boys' water polo.
A year ago, everyone knew which team would be best in Southern Section boys' water polo — JSerra. It was as certain as the temperature reaching 100 degrees in Death Valley because the 30-0 Lions had Ryder Dodd, the best high school player in America. He'd go on to start for the U.S. Olympic team in Paris and earn a bronze medal. Now comes life after Dodd, which means No. 1 in Southern California is up for grabs.
'As a center, you can't cover him with one player,' Ormsby said. Taylor Bell scored five goals in the season opener and freshman Sean Anderson, Tyler's brother, had three goals. Oaks Christian is an intriguing team in that coach Jack Kocur's top player is his son, Cam. There's also Wyatt Williamson, who joined the team late last season from Hawaii, and Pepperdine commit Max Burstein. Hall of Fame water polo coach Rich Corso has joined the program to coach goalies.
