BOYS’ WATER POLO
Flintridge Prep 8, Arcadia 6: Diego Delgado paced the Rebels with three goals in their nonleague season opener on the road Wednesday. Carlo Sivilotti and Jaime Walker each scored goals within the first two minutes of the fourth period to put Prep up 8-2, which would prove crucial when the apaches (0-1) mounted a 4-0 run to get within two with a minute to play. Brian Kihn had seven saves for the Rebels.
