Congratulations to our U15 KO Boys’ Water Polo who competed in the State Championships in Raymond Terrace. The boys had three games on the day and had to come in the top two positions to be in medal contention. The boys defeated Bulli High convincingly 10-1 and narrowly defeated Lamberton High 5-4. Unfortunately, the boys lost their third game against Tuggerah Lakes HS 6-3 despite dominating possession. The boys took the defeat well and demonstrated excellent sportsmanship. Overall WHS placed an amazing 5th in the state. Thank you to Ms Hennessy and all the parents that made the trip to support our team, especially Mrs Pritchard and Mr Porteous. The team consisted of Josh Pritchard (10), Zac McMartin (9), Brayden Johnston (9), Caleb Bonney (8), Will Banister (8), Jax Brown (8), Riley Porteous (8), Ben Pritchard (7) and Tristen Phillips (7).
