With a “splish splash,” the varsity boys’ water polo team’s season came to the end with a game against the Schurr Spartans on Nov. 5 at Granada Park. The game ended with a score of 3-17. The team concluded their Almont League season in last place with a record of 0-4 and a 1-7 overall record.

Prior to the game, the team had continued to work hard during practice, working on their offence and making sure their pin point passes were clearer and precise to make it easier to achieve a breakaway shot. In order to match up with the Spartans, they also worked on setting up more quicklyin defense to stop their ball in transition.

“The team is very enthusiastic about constantly getting better, and they have an open ear and are always attentive to both trying and experiencing what [our] coaching staff has laid out for them,” Head Coach Adrian Lopez said.

To get ready for next year’s season, Lopez plans to continue with the team’s diligent work ethic and to make sure that every practice has a purpose such as perfecting techniques that will help the players improve on their skills.

According to the team, they also had many talented first-year athletes this season, and not only have they gotten better this year, but they are also going to flourish in the years to come. With a high recruitment this year, the Moors plan on seeing the team expand next year through word of mouth.

“I am looking forward for a fresh start next year with more athletes interested in playing water polo,” sophomore flatter Dominic Perez said.
