After losing a tough three-game match in the finals of the So Cal Boys Classic to Balboa Bay (Orange County) VBC, Seaside 18 Black runs into the same Balboa team at the Junior Olympics. At Nationals, again it was Balboa Bay turning back Seaside in the quarter-finals (25-18, 20-25, 15-11) on the way to winning the Championship of the Gold Bracket in the Open Division. Seaside finished fifth overall, the ninth time since 1990 the 18 Black team has finished 5th or higher at the National Championships. Despite ankle injuries that hobbled two of Seaside's star players - Myles Muagututia and Taylor Hughes - the team was the only club to take a game off Balboa at the JO's. Balboa Bay defeated Epic of San Diego in the finals 25-14, 25-15.
