The Friendswood High School Water Polo teams were back in action playing excellent teams from Memorial and Stratford High Schools this past Saturday, Sept. 16. The girls were victorious in both games winning 11-5 versus Memorial and a real nail-biter beating Stratford 9-7.
The FHS boys team had a difficult day, losing 4-14 in the Memorial game. Their second game against Stratford ended at halftime due to lighting with a score of 1-9. The Mustangs were prepared to make a big comeback, but the opportunity was nixed due to the weather.
Up next, both teams will travel to Brazoswood to face last year’s State-winning boys team and State runner-up girls team on Tuesday, Sept. 19, for their second district contest. The girls game starts at 5pm and the boys will play at 6pm. The Mustangs district record for both boys and girls is 1-0.
The Head Water Polo Coach is Craig Sikkema, who is assisted by Crissy Kemp and Shawna Lewis.
