  22-10-2019 23:56 via ocregister.com
  
  Pacifica’s boys water polo program faced a storm of controversy before the season for a video that showed members of its 2018 team singing a Nazi march song while extending their arms in a Hitler salute.
  The Mariners faced scrutiny for the off-campus, anti-Semitic incident, which was addressed by school administrators.
  But the team soon returned to the pool and took a 24-0 record into Monday’s nonleague match at Schurr of Montebello.
  The Mariners lost 9-6 but showed they could be a t

  NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Ducks have a problem, and in a way it’s a good one to have.
  Good for the organization.
  Bad for the players involved.
  The Ducks have too many useful forwards on their 2019-20 roster, players who can fill a variety of roles on a variety of lines and are suited to a variety of tasks. Devin Shore is one of them. Nicolas Deslauriers, Max Jones and Nick Ritchie are among the others.
  Shore can play all three forward positions and play them all well. The Ducks know wha

Add to that the technical problems AM faces (though they are not insurmountable)
