Cougars get obliterated in their own house

The water polo team played the Panorama Pythons and reappeared victorious with a final score of 16-1 on Oct. 19 at an away game.

The bottom line | The boys water polo team played the Kennedy Cougars, and won with a score of 27-11 on Oct. 24 at an away game.

Highlights | 

  • Captains Ben Gutiererrez and Edgar Lalafarian managed to score many points from the fast breaks they got
  • The Wolves were able to nick the ball from the Cougars leading to more points
  • The team’s communication was also a big part of the game which helped them stay focused and kept them together the whole game.

What’s next | After winning their recent game, they are currently undefeated with a winning streak of 7! The Wolves hope to keep this streak going with their next opponent being North Valley Military Institute (NVMI) on Wednesday, Oct. 26 at an away game at 3 p.m.

Team thoughts | “Our game went really well. Although their best player was out, we were all able to capitalize on all the opportunities we had. I think our team has definitely improved since the start of the season, but some of our players need to be a bit more serious about it. Although we are undefeated, we still need to learn more about how the game works and to not mess around too much. If we are all more serious, I think our team can be even better than how we are right now.” says Diego Serrano, a newcomer to the Wolves.

Our thoughts | We believe that our boys water polo team is genuinely underrated, managing to obtain a winning streak of 7. Few students are aware of how amazing our water polo team is. In fact, they haven’t lost a single game this season. After their next game, which is the last game of the season, they will head on to the playoffs. In the playoffs, as long as they continue their hard work, they have a high chance of placing well and maybe even winning a championship.

About the Contributor
Jaden Gervacio
From watching sports to playing them, I have always been inclined to write about the new athletic events that occur at our school. As a sophomore at Van Nuys High, I am going into my second year of journalism, not just to write about the games, but to uncover the background and details of the talented athletes that play them. Whenever I’m not on my laptop typing about an athlete or game, I am trying to perfect leche flan.
