Regular Season Play Starts This Week

The Enumclaw High School Boys Water Polo Team, along with 14 other Washington State teams, will open regular season water polo play this week. Eight additional teams opened their regular season last week.

The Hornet squad is small this year, with only  nine players on the roster – veterans Evan O'Neill, Jayson Bates, Brett Butler, Vahid Hosoda, Nathan March, Kyle Morgan, and Adam Percival are joined by newcomers Ben Hauswirth and Chase Maris. Two teams this year, Inglemoor and Lakes, do not have enough players for competition.

The Washington State Boys Water Polo League has four divisions. The Kingco Division has teams from Bellevue, Mercer Island, Newport, Roosevelt, Sammamish, and Shorewood. Curtis, Emerald Ridge, Mark Morris, Puyallup, and Rogers make up the South Division. Enumclaw is in the North Division, along with Auburn, Auburn Mountainview, Auburn Riverside, Kentridge, and Kentwood. The Narrows Division includes Bainbridge Island, Gig Harbor, Peninsula, South Kitsap, Stadium, and Wilson.

The Hornets open their regular season on Tuesday, September 15 against Auburn Riverside, in a 7:30 game at the Enumclaw Aquatic Center.
