The Menlo-Atherton boys’ water polo team wrapped up the PAL regular season with a convincing 25-4 victory at Aragon. The M-A bench saw lots of playing time and dominated the scoring. Junior David Adler led all scorers with 4 goals for M-A and Aragon’s Gabe Hargis accounted for 2 of the Don’s 4 tallies. The Bears’ Ian Kelly, Brian Hohl and Andrew Higgitt each scored 3 times and goalie Alex Gow ventured out into the field for the first time in the second half and scored twice. The win improves M-A’s league record to 8-2 and second only to Menlo School.
