GIRLS WIN STATE WATERPOLO CHAMPIONSHIP FOR SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR


The Cypress Creek High School girls’ water polo team defeated St. Agnes, 10-6, on May 6 in Lewisville to clinch its second consecutive TISCA state championship.
It marked the seventh all-time championship for the Cougars, who defeated Southlake Carroll in the 2016 championship. They faced Carroll again in the 2017 semifinal round on May 6, edging the Dragons 12-11 after trailing by 6 entering the fourth period. Cypress Creek had previously beaten Marcus (20-8) and Dawson (14-1) in first- and second-round action on May 5.
“This team stayed with their game plan all year. Whether being up by 10 or down by 6, these girls never quit on each other,” said Jeff Chandler, Cypress Creek head coach. “I am so proud of these girls and honored to be able to experience this tremendous task of going back to back.”
Chandler won TISCA Girls’ Coach of the Year for the second consecutive season.
In the boys’ state tournament, Jersey Village High School placed third overall after defeating Southlake Carroll, 10-9, in the third-place game. The Falcons previously earned wins against Denton Guyer (10-6) and Brazoswood (10-4) before losing to eventual champion St. Marks, 12-4, in the semifinal.
