An early-season, Division 1 showdown between Huntington Beach’s No. 2-ranked boys water polo team and No. 5 Corona del Mar will be played at Huntington Beach on Saturday at 7 p.m., Oilers coach Sasa Branisavljevic reports.
The Oilers won the teams’ season-opener last season, 9-7, but the Sea Kings quickly turned the tables at the South Coast Tournament by rallying for an 8-7 triumph.
The teams didn’t play again but the programs appear to have the makings of a solid rivalry.
