Squads head to water polo tournament
Clear Creek ISD water polo teams are headed full speed ahead to the TISCA state championships.
Six local teams have qualified for the 45th annual event, which will be held Friday and Saturday at the Texas A&M Natatorium.
The Clear Springs girls will be on the short list of teams expected to win a state title. The Chargers placed second last year and enter this year’s tournament with a 27-3 record. That includes a 15-2 victory over Clear Falls in the South Region championship game. The Clear Brook girls also qualified for state.
The Clear Brook boys enter the state tournament as South Region champions. The Wolverines defeated Clear Creek, 13-11, in the regional final. The Clear Springs boys also have qualified for state.
Clear Creek ISD teams have a rich tradition for success at the state tournament. A girls team has finished in the top three ever year since 2011. The last girls champion was Clear Creek in 2012. The school district finished first, second and third at the state that year.
Clear Creek’s boys are on a strong run at the state tournament. The Wildcats won the title in 2013 and finished second in 2012 and 2014. Clear Springs at state

One week after winning a district title, Dawson’s girls have won an area championship. Now the Lady Eagles are headed to the regional meet en masse.

Of the Lady Eagles’ seven regional qualifiers, five advanced in at least two events. Nia Smith qualified in three. She will compete in both hurdles events and the long jump.
