The EHS Girls Water Polo Team has garnered some national press, in a story on this week's
Total Waterpolo. EHS Coach Bob Averill was interviewed regarding the success of this year's team and their recent win over defending State champion Gig Harbor.
"For the past couple years the girls water polo team at Gig Harbor (WA)
has been the state's best. On April 25 Enumclaw, with only nine girls on
the roster, ended Gig Harbor's 46-game winning streak and
placed themselves among the favorites to win the state championship."
The Hornets are currently 17-1, with their only loss at the hands of the Chehalem, OR team. Enumclaw is in first place in the East Division with three games left in their regular season, and begin State tournament play on Wednesday, May 16. The first round of the State tournament will be played at Lakes High School, in Lakewood, and Rogers High School in Puyallup. Tournament play will continue on Friday and Saturday, May 18 & 19, at Curtis High School, in University Place.
