Both La Porte Water Polo teams were back in action on Wednesday Night in front of a nearly packed house. This night was also the teams' Teacher Appreciation Night. The athletes spoke about a teacher that had the most impact on their lives thus far. Thank you for those teachers that were able to make it to the game.
 
This was a slow start to the game. Baytown scored twice before the Bulldogs got on the board with an assist from Senior goalie Riley Koonce to Sophomore Jaime Reyes and scored to end the quarter 1-4, with our Senior Jackson Thralls having two saves and Riley Koonce having three saves during the first quarter. However, during the second quarter the Bulldogs woke up and scored five times and held Baytown to only three goals. The Bulldogs scored four straight goals in 2:35, with great ball movement from Senior Zachary Carroll, Sophomore Ean Lopez, Freshman Lucas Prigmore, and Sophomore Jaime Reyes. Senior Coby Chauvette scored the last goal in the quarter for the Bulldogs to end the quarter on a 5-3 bringing the score to 6-7. During that scoring run, Senior Goalie Riley Koonce had two assists and three blocks, Senior Coby Chauvette had one assist, Freshman Lucas Prigmore had two assists, and Senior Zachary Carroll adding a steal to his stat line. The start of the third quarter was slow for both teams. Even though the Bulldogs held Baytown to two goals, they did not get a goal until the end of the quarter, and that goal came from a steal by Senior Coby Chauvette as he swam down the pool to score the goal. Senior Jackson Thralls went on to record another block and Senior Riley Koonce kept the game close by recording five blocks. With the Bulldogs down by three to start the fourth quarter, they did not stop pushing their way to win the game. They scored three times, twice from Sophomore Jaime Reyes and once from Senior Zachary Carroll. During the fourth quarter the Bulldogs also recorded assists from Senior Coby Chauvette and Sophomore Jaime Reyes, two steals and a save from Senior Jackson Thralls and Senior Zachary Carroll, thus ending our battle with Senior Riley Koonce recording 13 saves total during the game.
