Ryan Berleth
Fullerton, Junior; Water Polo/Goalkeeper
More than three decades had passed since Fullerton had beaten Freeway League-rival Sunny Hills in water polo. But Berleth, playing aggressively, made sure that changed when the two tangled last week. He made 14 saves, had three steals and added an assist to help the Indians beat the Lancers, 11-5, in the league opener.
