Boys’ water polo off to impressive start

The Falcons are off to an unprecedented start, holding a 15-0 record as of Oct. 10. This is an impressive record considering the team lost players early in the season due to injury, including junior hole set Miles Mackenzie, who missed the first two games.

Senior utility and co-captain Stephen Cho sees continued growth in the team.

“Overtime, we've grown stronger as a team and a lot of players have stepped up to fill in key roles,” Cho said.

The successful start has been a little unexpected even with the team’s talent.

“We are surprised at how well we’ve been doing so far,” senior driver Patrick Wang said. “We knew we were going to be good, but didn’t expect an undefeated start.”

However, the team has been steadily improving.

“We are a pretty fast team overall, and are progressing more on our actual plays,” senior driver and co-captain Cameron Borch said.

Added Cho: “We definitely need to work on passing and limiting our turnovers. But aside from that the team morale is really high.”

The success is something the team is looking to build on. They hope to maintain an impressive record up until CCS.

The Falcons’ next two games are against Wilcox on Oct. 22 and Oct. 29, with both being away games. With Wilcox being a tough opponent and league rival, these games will not come easy.

“Of course we want to stay undefeated,” Wang said. “I think we can do it, and so far so good.”
