October 26, 2009 — The Cypress Creek High School boys and girls water polo teams each placed third in the Texas High School Water Polo Coaches Association (THSWPCA) State Championships this weekend.
The Cypress Creek boys defeated Cy-Fair, 9-6, in the third place game on Saturday. Cy-Fair placed fourth, while Langham Creek placed seventh, Cypress Falls placed ninth, Cypress Ridge placed 10th and Cypress Springs placed 11th.
In the girls’ bracket, Cypress Creek topped Clear Creek, 13-10, in the third place game. Additionally, Cy-Fair placed sixth, Cypress Falls placed seventh, Langham Creek placed eighth, Cypress Ridge placed 10th and Jersey Village placed 11th.
“It was a very exciting year for both teams,” said Cypress Creek water polo coach Jeff Chandler. “The girls started out slow in the beginning of the year but really pulled together when it counted. The boys had an up-and-down year but finished strong. It is always disappointing when you don’t win it all but I am both pleased and proud of all our players. We will only graduate one girl and three boys so we should be very strong again next year.”
