The Enumclaw High School Boys Water Polo Team opened their 2017 season with two wins and a loss at last weekend's Emerald Ridge Jamboree. The Hornets beat Lakes 14-3 in their opening game, and lost to Gig Harbor 6-9 in the second, before finishing the day with a 14-1 win over Rogers.
This
year’s Hornet squad boasts nine returning players, led by senior captains Kyle
Morgan and Adam Percival. The remaining seven returning players are all
juniors: Tim Arensdorf, Ethan Decker, Ben Hauswirth, Miles Kratzer, Christopher
Morgan, Brandon Stark, and Cody Williams.
Joining
the veteran Hornets are four first-year players, including sophomore Ethan Blanco,
and freshmen Michael Arensdorf, Jacob Hauswirth, and Kellen Murray.
Head
coach Bob Averill returns for his ninth season with the boys program, and is
joined by assistant Annie Birklid (EHS ’12), coaching her fourth year with the
Hornets. Averill has also coached the Enumclaw High School Girls Water Polo
Team for 13 years.
