It came down to the wire in what ended in one of the most exciting Central California Conference boys water polo matches to date on Monday night when Turlock hosted Merced High in what resulted in a 14-13 sudden death overtime victory for the Bulldogs. “This was one of the most exciting high school games I have ever seen,” said Turlock head coach Manny Bettencourt. Merced came in undefeated with three straight league wins, but the Bulldogs didn't look fazed and jumped in the pool determined to prove to the Bears that it wasn't going to be easy for last year's CCC champs to repeat.
