Wednesday's Central California Conference showdown between Pitman and Turlock High's varsity boys water polo squads marked the season finale for one team and the beginning of the next journey for the other. Pitman suffered through a tumultuous year, while Turlock was battle ready from the onset accumulating a 9-3 record after toppling the Pride of Pitman in a 12-5 final. “I expected our boys to compete, it’s always been a goal year in and year out which is to compete for the CCC title and make a run at Sections, these boys did it,” said first-year Turlock head coach Manny Bettencourt.
