    The Sailors’ built-in chemistry, born from players growing up tossing water polo balls to each other on age-group teams, was on full display against CIF-SS Division 1 rival Loyola of Los Angeles in the third-place match.

    Then apply Citrus Grower Blend Micronutrients, according to the instructions on the label, but don’t delay. These micronutrients will help your oranges especially, and other citrus, to develop extra sweetness — a taste you’ll notice and love at harvest time.
