The best game I ever had was this year. It was againt Highland Park High School. The game started out badly for us because we were lossing 3-1. We were not happy about that. Then in the next quater we tie it at 4-4. It felt better but we were in it to win it. The 3 quater was still tied at 5-5 five. Then it was the fourth quater 8 seconds left and I scored the winning goal. I was very happy that we won. We were not going to lose another game to them. Water polo is a very exting, physically demanding, and fun sport that all people should try or at least watch.
