Hello Parents and Swimmers,I cannot believe how fast the

season went by! The team had great success in the State Championship and I am so proud of each and every swimmer for all of their accomplishments throughout the whole season. As a team we broke ten school records, girls won second place, and boys won first place in 4A at State! Nice Job! Thank you parents and Coaches for everything you did for us this season, we could not have done it without you. I have been honored to be your Captain this season and I hope you all have a great rest of the school year! -Brendan Smith

Congrats State Team!

I can't believe how quickly this polo season went by. Throughout this year, we have practiced outside (even when it was cold), had several tournaments, and numerous practices that went well into the evenings. It's been a long and hard fought battle my fellow Knights. I know we may haven't achieved our top goal, but we have done so many other amazing things that we should be proud of. We beat Twin Falls, Coeur de 'Alene, Mountain View, Borah, and every other team at least once. I am proud of each and every one of my teammates, it's been an amazing ride. To the Seniors, it's sad that this is the end of our polo career for BK,we are now a family. Cont. pg 2

Wow! I can't believe that our season is already over. Everyone did so well at all of the meets, and all of our practicing and workouts really paid off! Congratulations to everybody who had their PRs at State and District. God really rewarded our team this year for our perseverance and dedication to this team. We swim not only for ourselves, but together as a team for Him from the only Catholic school in Idaho. Thank you for such a fun and successful season!“All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. (1 Corinthians 9:25).~Ali Mullin

WATER POLO COACHES CORNERThe JV squad had a few returnees from last year, but the majority of the team were beginners, some whom have never swam competitively or at all. With that being said, the team made great strides in conditioning, fundamentals and overall, learning the game. The first tournament played compared to the State Tournament was night and day! Each athlete showed great improvement and contributed to elevating the team's level of play. This was not exemplified more than at the State Tournament where the team tied for 5th! After 3 overtime periods and a shoot out, the game ended in a tie due to time constraints. The coaches are looking forward to next year with everyone returning! A huge thanks to all the parents for their support of the team. ~Coach Erika and Coach Bryce

It was a great season with a very larger Senior class representing Bishop Kelly. Going into the State Tournament we were 7-1 and had a solid month of practice under us. It was a double elimination tournament, but each game mattered. Our first game we played Coeur d'alene B team and won 18-4. It was a warm up game and everyone got in and played well. The second game we rallied back from a 3 goal deficit with a 9-6 victory which set us up to play our rival from the north. Coeur d'alene has won the last 2 years against us in the finals and we knew we had to play them tough. They are a great team and coached to swim. We never lost focus on each quarter and with a win we would go straight to the Championship game. At the end of the 4th quarter the score was 5-4 us. Our route to the finals became much easier then everyone else with that victory. Our opponents had to play one or two more games to get back to the Championship. The day seemed to be going in our favor and all of the hard work was paying off. The Championship game was again played against our friends to the north. We entered the game a little flat and found ourselves behind at half 5-2. In the 3rd quarter we were able to put two goals in with the help of all of our players. Going into the 4th quarter we were only down by 1 and you would think it was doable. However, the table turned on us and the momentum that we had going into this game seemed to end. We had our opportunities and one shot led to the next and could not get the ball in the back of the net. By the final buzzer we ended up short by 1, 5 to 4. Our team played well and fought hard. We represented Bishop Kelly well and proud of the players. Thanks to all of the parents and fans for coming out and supporting us! ~Head Coach Adam Winspear

Cont. pg 1. Even while in college I know I can reach out to anyone and get that family feeling again. I will miss every single one of my teammates, whether they are the freshman, sophomores, juniors or seniors. To the non-seniors, please stay as close as you can to each other, remain as a family. I know your new Captains will do amazing things next year. Go knights!~Bailey Clifford
