The City Section will crown its first water polo champion in decades as playoff action begins Friday. Birmingham (25-0) is the top-seeded team. The Patriots have not lost a game since the revival of the sport last season; City water polo programs were eliminated in the 1970s for budgetary reasons before being restarted in 2006.
