HSAA Water Polo Teams finish the regular season strong

(ROCKWALL, TX — April 11, 2016) The HSAA (Home School Athletic Association) Angels Water Polo teams finished their high school regular season on very high notes.

“We have seen a big difference in the way the girls are playing this year,” said assistant coach Jim Hummingbird. “They gave up an average of 10 goals a game last year. This year, it is down to 5. Coach Angela Uno has really done a great job improving the defensive intensity the girls play with.”

The boy’s team went undefeated over the last two weekends bringing their overall record to 10-2 for the season. They did so by dropping Woodrow Wilson twice, 12-7 and 12-3 respectively. They also defeated Marcus 14-8 and Flower Mound JV 8-5.

“This is the first time we have been in double digits in the win column. It has been a special year for us,” Hummingbird said. “Our only losses were to the reigning state champions St. Marks and the #4 team in the North Texas Region Denton Guyer. I would say they have represented themselves very well.”
