A Carlsbad player prepares to take the game’s final shot with less than 15 seconds left in a CIF Div. I semifinal water polo match. His shot bounced off the arms of defenders Woods Rodi, center, and Wyatt Egan, right. Goalkeeper RJ LaRocco, left, then controlled the ball to secure the Pointer victory. The Pointers water polo team will play for the CIF Div. I championship against Canyon Crest Academy this Saturday at 5 p.m. at the La Jolla High pool. / PHOTO BY RANDALL LaROCCO
