MSC Tsunami Hits the Finals
Sunday, August 24th @ 8:30pm

The Midlakes Championship Finals were held at the new Mercer Island Country Club pool where for the first time in Midlakes Water Polo history the finals were played in an 8 lane all deep pool. Mercerwood has shown depth and strength in all age groups by qualifying number 1 in 10's, 12's, 14's and 17's. Can the tidal wave continue on Sunday?

Here is a recap of how the games went on Championship Finals Sunday.
14's Deliver On Anticipated Drama
After spending a year playing together at the highest level in the country, the top youth players in the state are divided between summertime clubs and forced to go head to head. Mercerwood has looked unstoppable all season, but Phantom Lake is out to defend their title. Would the game live up to all the hype? The fans certainly got their moneys worth out of this contest.

10's, Tiny In Stature, Big Competitors
Don't think for a second that these little guys aren't big time competitors. Every year they provide some of the most memorable moments of the tournament. They definitely came through in 2003 as the Mercerwood Manta Rays took on the Norwood Ducks for the championship title. It was a game that saw big leads build, and big leads diminish for an exciting finish. GAME REPORT
