Athlete of the Week: Fischer Keeps T-Bolts Afloat
Andrew's Jimmy Fischer went on a scoring spree to lead the water polo team over Bradley.
With Andrew’s boys water polo team trailing by two and looking lethargic in the opening quarter against Bradley, Thunderbolts junior Jimmy Fischer fired up his teammates.
Fischer scored the first two goals of the second quarter and five of his team’s next nine goals to boost the Thunderbolts to a 12-9 victory.
Fischer’s offensive fireworks may have stolen the show, but he isn’t a one-dimensional player. He played tenacious on-the-ball defense throughout the match, limiting looks from the Bradley offense.
