Tuesday evening, the East Kentwood Falcons played their final regular-season home game against the Jenison Wildcats.  The last home game is also senior night and graduating seniors are recognized.  This year, three girls were feted.

Emma, #10, played water polo for the first year.  Emma has been on the swim team and Briana encouraged her to play polo.  If she was short on experience, she compensated with maturity.  This fall, Emma will be attending Grand Valley State U Honors College in pursuit of a career as a physician’s assistant.

Eliza, #1, is the Falcon’s goalie and co-captain, and is finishing her 6th year in water polo.  This is her 3rd year as varsity goalie.  She is a fountain of energy and enthusiasm and a lot of fun to watch in action.  Her best memory: Fire alarms going off and C*** ran outside with no pants on.  Eliza plans to study criminal law.

Briana, #7, plays a variety of positions and is co-captain.  This is her 7th year of water polo, having started in 6th grade.  Her worst memory: “The time I gave C*** a bloody nose . . . But that was kinda funny :).”  Our granddaughter will be entering GVSU Honors College (like Emma) this fall where she will study nursing.  After college, she wants to use her degree on the mission field.

Each of the girls had a display like Briana’s (above) featuring pictures from their water polo careers.  She even included a picture of her grandparents in their Falcon gear on her display.  Thanks Briana.

The night was a bit of a disappointment with the Falcons on the short end of a 9 to 4 score–their second regular season loss.  Last night, they played their final regular-season game at Grandville.  Tournament play begins next weekend.
