Sports resume at high schools
How LA Catholic high schools are resuming sports this spring
Louisville High School’s girls’ water polo season started and ended last Saturday, March 20. That’s right: one match, season over.
But it was still one more than the “Royals of Woodland Hills” thought they were going to play not so long ago, when the COVID-19-related shutdown of high school sports was in full effect. And all things considered, one match meant victory, regardless of what the scoreboard may have said (they defeated Marymount 13-3).
“Our students are just happy to be back playing,” said Marilyn Hyman, athletic director at Louisville, where 65% of the student body population of 360 compete in athletics. “Given all the constraints they’ve dealt with, it’s great for them to have some sense of normalcy again.”
