Here's how the polo boys dealt with their grief :)
 
Quick Recap: A 17yo Water polo player from a (local) rival school -Saline- who plays with and coaches my kids outside of regular season was killed in a car accident this week. The three Ann Arbor teams were at a polo tournament in Grand Rapids this weekend, two ended up playing for third place. This is what they did

Polo Boy The Elder came home saying it was the most fun game he has ever played. And he scored ;)

Good on them.

Cool. The headline says 12-12 and the byline says 12-12, but the text says 12-11. I hope it was 12-12.

monster 08-23-2015 10:08 PM

it's debatable. They decided a tie was the official score ;)

Excellent, as it should be. :thumb:

Lovely.

It's nice to start the day with happy tears. Your kids and the others in the program seem to have a good grasp of the fundamentals of the game. Have fun, play hard, remember it's a game.

That's beautiful, monster. Thank you for sharing it.

Good kids. Does the heart good & give me hope for the future.

There were 600 at the funeral. I drove the boys there, but then they navigated the visitation themselves, and decided not to stay for the service. Open casket, I think they handled it well. very proud of them.

Good for them. Thanks for sharing, monster.
