Chase Dodd has been a dynamic player for the Huntington Beach High boys’ water polo team for a while now.
With several members returning to a team that pushed eventual champion Studio City Harvard-Westlake in the CIF Southern Section Division 1 semifinals last year, the Oilers looked to contend for the Division 1 title in 2020-21.
COVID-19 had other plans, as the section canceled fall sports playoffs on Jan. 19. What it hasn’t done is kept Dodd from making his choice of where he will be playing at the next level.
He recently signed with UCLA men’s water polo.
“I’m really, really stoked,” Dodd said. “I feel like next year, it’s going to be up to anyone to win [the NCAA championship] … With the recruits coming in and the team that’s already there at UCLA, I feel like they’re really going to be a team that people are going to have to watch out for.”
