WALNUT, Calif. (KEYT) - The wait is over for the Dos Pueblos High School boys water polo program.
Behind a tremendous performance from sophomore Channing Wigo, the second-seeded Chargers edged #1 Mira Costa 10-9 to win the CIF-Southern Section Division 1 championship at Mt. San Antonio College.
It's the Chargers first CIF title since 2006 and first ever in division one.
Trailing 5-4 in the fourth quarter Wigo took over scoring 4 of his game-high 6 goals in crunch time.
His final goal with 2:41 remaining put DP up 9-8.
Senior Grant Nelson gave the Chargers a 2-goal advantage when he scored with 1:47 remaining as they went up 10-8. Nelson finished with 3 goals.
Mira Costa pulled within a goal with :39 seconds left and had the ball with :09 ticks left.
They pulled their goalie to set-up a 7-on-6 advantage but the Chargers defense held on to set off a wild celebration with head coach Chris Parrish and assistant Chris Lee in the pool with their championship players.
Until the fourth quarter the game was a defensive struggle as the game was tied at 1 after one quarter and it was 3-3 at the half.
Sophomore goalie Koa Zertuche helped the offense get going in the fourth quarter with a couple of nice, long passes to Wigo who got behind the Mustangs defense and scored on the counter attack.
Wigo was the obvious choice for MVP of the game with 6 goals.
Seniors Lucas Neushul, Grant Nelson, and Adam Gelman finish their careers with a DIV II runner up, Division II semi-final, DIV I semi-final, and finally a DIV I CIF Championship.
