Boys water polo has had a rough start to the beginning of their season, with a overall record of 0-4 as of Wednesday, September 23.
Most recently boys water polo traveled to Irvine, playing Irvine High School on Tuesday, September 22.
Throughout the first three quarters, the boys were able to get a total of four goals past Irvine, with two from senior Brody Wells and two from junior Jack Calhoun.
Despite their efforts, it was a deep end struggle for the Jackrabbits, who gave up a total of thirteen goals.
Even though Calhoun was able to up the score for the Jackrabbits with two more consecutive goals in the fourth quarter, the Jackrabbits took the loss with the final score of 13-6.
“I tried to spark the offense,” said Calhoun. “But it just wasn’t enough.”
Before they took on Irvine, the boys went against Crespi High School, on Thursday, September 17. With a mainly junior-sophmore team, the Jackrabbit’s offense was not able to get past Crespi’s defense, losing 15-7.
Two days before, Tuesday September 15, Poly suffered yet another devastating loss, falling to University High School with final score of 13-7.
As their first game of the season, the boys faced Fountain Valley High School on Thursday, September 10. Even though the Jackrabbits were able to put five goals up on the scoreboard, they were not able to match Valley Fountain’s 21 goals.
“We need to try to coordinate our defense better and start working harder at practice,” said junior goalie Andrew Moskovitz.
The boys have their first Moore League game against Lakewood, on Wednesday, October 7th at 6 PM at the Cabrillo Aquatic Center.
