March 30, 2016 The girls water polo team swept the Gwendolyn Brooks College Preparatory Bald Eagles to a 23-3 victory on March 11, 2016, making it their first win of the season. It was then the boys water polo team's turn to join in and defeat Prosser Career Academy at their first home game on March 14, 2016. With good teamwork, the boys managed to beat Prosser and making it the first win for the boys with an 11-9 final score and the girls coming out on top with a win of 9-5. The games were intense, and many fouls were called such as “ball under” (when the ball is underwater) or “off the bottom” (when a player jumps from the ground) and made the games seem longer from the players’ perspectives. After each game, the boys and girls gain more experience and learn from mistakes, but the season is not over yet. The teams are training every day after school, learning new plays and bettering their communication skills. They also play against each other for practice. Which team will have the most wins? Current standings for the girls team is 2-3 and the boys 1-4 with only five games left in the season. The last game is on April 27, 2016. The boys need to improve their communication and girls need to improve their duration in swimming back and forth. Overall, the teams need improvement but with time and dedication, the teams will do just fine. Water polo is a new sport at Hubbard. There is great potential in the players in the current and coming years.
