On Jan. 15, Alhambra earned a 14-4 victory over Montebello High School at Granada Park. The momentum continued on Jan. 27 when the Moors defeated Mark Keppel High School 17-1, a win that helped secure the team’s CIF Southern Section playoff appearance. Alhambra’s season concluded Feb. 5 with a 15-10 loss to West Valley High School during the 2026 CIF Southern Section Ford Girls Water Polo Championships Division 5 tournament. Despite the postseason loss, the Moors finished second in league standings and demonstrated growth throughout the season. Spring athletics also recognized senior athletes during Boys and Girls Swim Senior Night on April 7 at Granada Park. Alhambra competed against Mark Keppel High School as teammates, family members and supporters gathered to celebrate seniors competing in their final meet of the season.
