LB Poly kept the ball alive and retained possession throughout their opener with Rancho Bernardo C, with newer players Selieni Paseka, Amylia Petaia, and Denise Herrera-Cruz showing well, especially on defense. Long Beach Poly won 38-0.
Against Fallbrook the defense was very strong and Poly's plan was to keep the ball alive, commit early in every ruck, and stay aggressive on defense. And that's what they did, with Khalea Pahulu, Sydney-Rae Pua, Renny Jennings-Faletoi, and Jendell Moe all contributing big tackles. Nila Lolesio-Pua, Lolua Tauanu'u, Aries Popoali'i, and captain Gianna Diaz's helped set up an attack that was clicking. Long Beach Poly won 59-0.
And finally against San Marcos LB Poly pitched another shutout. Freshmen Selieni Paseka, Ezralynn Fa'atiliga, and Loa Duong stood out in a game that ensured a place in the final.
