Hawks crush Cabrillo in Coast opener
The Las Positas College men's water polo team continued to turn heads this season with two impressive wins this past week.
Amador Valley High graduate Ross Brown scored a team-high seven goals and added five assists as the Hawks defeated host Cabrillo 15-4 in their Coast Conference opener on Wednesday, Sept. 28. Las Positas then defeated the UC Santa Cruz men's water polo club team 22-11 later that evening.
The Hawks (13-8, 1-0) will look to keep rolling in their conference home opener against the Merced Blue Devils (14-10, 0-0) on Wednesday, Oct. 5 at 3 p.m.
With an emerging program, the Hawks received state recognition on Sept. 28 when Kyle Young (Liberty High) was selected as CCCWPCA men's Player of the Week, along with female winner Lily Worley of Golden West.
The award for Young followed a strong team performance during a 4-1 week for the Hawks, including three wins down south over Southwestern, El Camino and Grossmont, and a close loss in international action to Jalisco (Mexico) U-20.
