Thank you all for much for the support for our players, both girls and boys. I have to admit that although we did not make State, we had a great season in all teams - JV, Girls Varsity and Boys Varsity.

A big thank you to Mr. & Mrs Alexander for the hospitality they should to all by opening up their house. You are braver than me in deciding to have 20 plus kids running through the house.

My thanks also to all who organized the wonderful plaque & gift card that was given to me. I know that I did not say thank you to you all last night. I guess part of that was the emotional frog I had caught in my throat. I also was extremely grateful to get receive the two pictures of the girls team - one with them dressed out to support the boys game at Regionals against Westside - in their T shirts and all. The other was a photo of them in the water against Bryan in a game they won. All have been proudly displayed at home already.

My special thanks must also go to Sara Peters and Sean Doyle, both of whom did a great job this past year as captains. Along the way they will be missed in that role but I know our new captains Lindsay Wiesmann & Kristin Alexander, Ethan Still & Chris McGahan will step up to bat equally well.

To all the parents, you have no idea how much the support you provide to the teams and to the coach is appreciated. Cy Fair Water polo has come a long way in 3 seasons and we will continue to build, grow and improve as the sport becomes more widely recognized. What a season we had, and for me, last night capped what I thought was an awesome season.

My thanks to you all for making it so special.
