Hawaii Wins Again

Serena won again tonight, against Cal, big victory against a top school, 7-6. Cal is coached by the former US and Canadian mens national coach Rich Corso. Many Bushido girls have played his teams from LA water polo in Calgary over the years. It was a 5-5 game going into the 4th quarter so she must have made a few of her key saves in the late going (she had 10 in total).

Locally there is lots of stuff happening in the water polo community right now. It will be a quiet weekend but then it takes off a bit from there. 

February 16 we have Metro League games and hopefully will have full Neptune rosters to challenge us. Those games are exciting even if, truth be told, I miss the explosive driving of Heather Carson. There are some yung'uns quickly picking up the slack in that department. Confidence is growing every week so the games are always more interesting than the week before.

February 23 and 24 we host the Team Sask Cadet and Youth teams. There are a couple of games where we play our "Nationals" Bushido/Regina Youth guys against Neptune Men and I will try to get Jesse, Adam and Matt to play those games against us too. Game times are;

Saturday 
12:30 Cadet & Youth Boys
2:00 Cadet & Youth Girls
3:30 Youth Boys (including 3 Regina guys) vs Neptunes
6:30 Cadet & Youth Girls
7:30 Cadet and Youth Boys
Club practice for Bantam and younger still from 5:00-6:30

Sunday
12:15 Cadet Boys
1:15 Cadet & Youth Girls
2:15 Youth Boys (+ Regina 3) vs Neptune Men
3:15 Cadet & Youth Girls

The next weekend, February 29, March 1, 2, the MWPA hosts a shooting clinic with 2 national team athletes as clinicians. This is for Bantam and Cadet and then some Youth girls. More details on that later.

PS Judging by the picture you can tell who I am thinking about this week.
