This past water polo season was marked by the growth of a young roster. Excitement around water polo continues to build at MICDS, and that was demonstrated by the biggest varsity roster, 16 student-athletes, that we have had in years, and that was without a senior on the team. The growth of the underclassmen has this program poised to continue moving forward, as it grows alongside the students. During the season, the team secured a big win over Kirkwood and brought home a playoff win versus Clayton in a game played at MICDS. Advancing in the playoffs this year hit one of the team’s goals and was a deserved result for this group of student-athletes for all their hard work.
Several players had standout seasons individually. On the defensive end, Ryan Moore ’28 earned his second straight Defensive Player of the Year Award for MICDS. Moore was instrumental on both sides of the pool, serving as a team leader in goals and assists, underscoring his all-around skills. Keon Manshadi ’28 took home the MICDS Offensive Player of the Year Award, pacing the offensive output alongside Moore. These two sophomores will look to continue to lead the charge forward for our program towards continued growth and success.
