Miramonte High School water polo teams all took home first place in the final high school water polo tournaments in Northern California. Making it a sweep of wins for all four teams: Varsity girls and boys and both JV teams. This "Strength in Numbers" bodes well for the future.

Just before school got out before the summer break the Northern California high schools were able to compete against each other playing both girls and boys water polo.

Due to the pandemic it has been touch and go as to whether they would have a season at all, but it did go ahead, adhering to CDC guidelines.

As games proceeded and competition heated up it became clear that one school was in a class of its own. Both the MHS Varsity and Jr. Varsity girls and boys showed grit and determination time and time again, proving they were the team to beat.

The Lady Mats end of season final game secured an undefeated 14-0 season. They played teams in DAL, East Bay, Davis and Marin. The two MHS Boys teams, who uphold a tradition of excellence, won their last tournaments in an exciting fashion. These results gave MHS teams a clean sweep - an achievement that is rarely accomplished.

All four teams were appreciative of teamwork, parents, and coaches.
