With a combined 9-17 overall record, the Modesto Metro and Central California conferences took it on the chin Friday during the opening round of the DeLong Memorial Boys Water Polo Tournament held at Johansen, Downey and Tokay (Lodi) high schools. Locally, only Buhach Colony of the CCC, co-host Johansen of the MMC and Ripon of the Valley Oak League, escaped Day 1 without a loss. Today’s action gets under way at 8 a.m. at the same three pools, with Lincoln High (Stockton) also hosting games.
