It was a fun, full day of water polo yesterday, watching the the boys take 3rd in state and watching the girls win both their games to take 5th. Aubrey played well, in spite of the fact that she felt crummy and had a double ear infection (found out at the doctor’s office the night before—bad timing). She fought through the pain, determined to play. This is a rough game on a normal day when you’re feeling great!
No, Rachael and I were not betting on the games in the money photo. We had not signed up to work a table, but they needed more volunteers, so we did it and then got our entrance fee refunded afterward, which we decided was well-deserved. The boys game we worked the table for was stressful and intense! Things got even worse, though, later. In the next game, the last game of the tournament, Coach Mike got kicked out. He was upset about some bad calls and worried about the boys getting injured, and the head ref, who he has had issues with in the past, overreacted and ejected him from the game. Thankfully, the boys rallied and ended up winning that game to take 3rd place. Rachael and I were glad we weren't at the table for that game! The night ended well, in spite of that unfortunate incident.
We are so glad we talked Aubrey into playing water polo her freshman year. She has learned so much, improved her skills immensely this season, and she’s made some amazing friends. We’ve come to love this game. It’s so fun to watch! Big thank you to her coaches for a hard-fought, successful season and for caring about the kids as people, as well as polo players. Good job, Aubs! We’re proud of you. Already looking forward to next year!
