From the La Cañada Valley Sun
La Cañada boys’ water polo could only watch Tuesday afternoon as South Pasadena held possession with 13 seconds left in the second half of overtime and an 8-7 lead.
The Tigers beat the Spartans at South Pasadena, 8-7 in overtime, in a tightly contested match with a few lead changes that drastically altered the Rio Hondo League landscape and may have cost La Cañada a chance at a sixth consecutive RHL title. Had the Spartans won, they would have had a two-game lead over SoPas and Temple City with three RHL games to play.
It was the first time South Pasadena (14-6, 4-1) beat La Cañada (7-14, 4-1) in seven years.
La Cañada Head Coach German Lopez was visibly upset after the game.

For the record: An earlier version of this story reported South Pasadena water polo player Sean Grab scored three goals in the game. He actually scored five.

The Burroughs finishers included David Campos (eighth; 16:05), Alex Martinez (32nd; 16:30), Charlie Camacho (37th; 16:35), Alex Quispe (38th; 16:35), Ariel Larios (43rd; 16:54) and Kamal Chahal (48th; 16:54).
