Lemoore’s boys’ and girls’ water polo teams get the new school year underway this week, but the boys already have a loss under their belts, dropping a 12-5 decision to Monache on Aug. 15 in the Marauders’ pool.

The boys’ and girls’ water polo teams won’t have a home contest for at least a few weeks as renovations continue on the school’s pool.
