For the second consecutive season, the boys and girls water polo programs from Oviedo High School and Seminole High School have swept their respective District Tournaments.
With their repeat victories, the Fighting Seminoles and Lions are playing in the Region 1 Tournament this week at the Larry A. Dale Aquatics Center on the Seminole High School campus in Sanford.
Haley Zimlich poured in five goals, dished out three assists and also had three steals as the Tribe girls (24-1) won their third consecutive District championship, doubling the score on Lake Brantley (17-10) in the District 2 final. Vivian Swain chipped in with three goals and two steals, but the biggest news was her six assists, which give her a nation-leading 92 on the season. Julia Pando also had a big game in net with seven saves.
In the boys final, Adam Walker outscored No. 2 seeded Lake Mary (15-11) by himself, netting eight goals to go along with two assists and three steals as the Noles (17-8) repeated as District 2 champs as they topped the Rams, 15-7. Timmy Samples was the playmaker with six assists to go along with a goal and two steals and Luc Leroy chipped in with three goals, an assist and a steal.
The SHS teams are looking to repeat as Regional Champions and earn a second straight trip to the Final 4, where the girls won the State Championship and the boys lost in the semifinals to the eventual state champions.
