The Varsity Water Polo Team has concluded their last three regular season games, but their journey isn’t finished yet as they advance to the North Coast Sections (NCS) for the first time in four long years.
On Wednesday, October 23, 2024, the Dons celebrated Senior Night in a matchup against the College Park Falcons, ending with a score of 2-23. Seniors Rocco Fraioli and Sam Whipple each scored the team’s only two goals as was fitting. Despite the score, it was a memorable night for the seniors who have dedicated four years to revitalizing the Boys Water Polo Program.
