The Palisades High boys water polo team is on a mission to win its fifth straight City Section championship. To prepare them for their upcoming playoff run, the Dolphins played the last of their three tournaments last weekend and posted a 3-2 record to finish 10th at the South Bay Invitational.
After a 14-3 loss to Palos Verdes in its first game Friday, Palisades rebounded to defeat San Luis Obispo 17-8. Lucas Silva led the way with four goals.
On Saturday, Gabby Feizbakhsh scored six goals as the Dolphins downed Santa Monica 11-7, a signature win against a team Palisades lost to 10-6 in an intersectional match earlier this season.
Silva scored the winning goal in sudden death overtime as Palisades edged Mission Viejo 12-11 to earn a spot in the ninth-place game. There, the Dolphins fell to Arroyo Grande 12-11, also in overtime. They traveled to Brentwood on Tuesday and host LACES on Monday.
