HONDO POLO WINS FRISCO LIFE CUP
MVP: Ramon “Moncho” Espinal BPP: Sahara “Covergirl”
The finals of the Frisco Life Cup saw a tough battle between Gusto Polo and Hondo Polo with Hondo pulling off the comeback of the season. Starting with a 1 goal handicap, Gusto came out swinging. Mariano Silva, Texas A&M Polo Champion, won the first throw-in of the game and completed the play with a quick goal. He followed this up with a 60-yard bomb to build their handicap lead 3-0. Hondo stayed in the game with two penalty shot conversions by Vance Miller. Vaughn Miller Jr. extended Gusto’s lead in the second chukker with two finishes, one off a pass from Cale Curtin. Gusto’s ringer, JB Long, ended the first half with a beautiful tiki-tiki run to goal and neck shot finish to end the chukker 6-2 in favor of Gusto. Gusto all smiles at the half, and Hondo looking for what would be the biggest comeback of the season thus far. Acting quickly with Jonathon Garnica taking two straight throw-ins directly to goal and single-handedly getting Hondo back in the game 6-4. Vaughn Miller Jr. seeing a comeback looming, converted another penalty 4 that just slipped passed the tip of Garnica’s mallet. Jonathan Garnica made it a hat trick with 3 goals in the chukker on another fantastic goal, ending the chukker 7-5. The last chukker of the finals would be all Hondo, no Gusto. Hondo team owner James McHazlett would begin the fourth chukker bombardment with a 40-yard shot slicing through the uprights. MVP Ramon “Moncho” Espinal proceeded to take over on BPP “Covergirl” Sahara. Gusto had no answer for the supreme horsepower and ball control of Moncho. Three straight goals by the MVP would close out the game and his last goal sealed the deal. A center hit coast to coast goal by Moncho brought the final score 9-7 in favor of Hondo Polo. Gusto was left high-fiving and saying good game thinking, “what just happened?!” Ramon Espinal named MVP. Sahara named BPP.
The consolations of the Frisco Life Cup saw a friendly competition between Prestonwood Polo and Waterski America. Morgan McBride began the scoring with a penalty conversion. Vaughn Miller Jr. ended the chukker with an alley-oop off a pass from his dad Vaughn “Coach” Miller Sr. Ronnie Puente and Sidro Olivas both scored for Prestonwood to build a 3-1 lead heading into half time. Waterski America would dominate the second half with goals off the mallets of Vance Miller, Chris Jones, and Vaughn Miller Jr. to win a tough battle 4-3.

May 7th Kentucky Derby
Hondo and Gusto advance to the finals
The Kentucky Derby polo day began with Gusto vs Prestonwood. Right out of the gates, like Rich Strike eyeing the Garland of Roses, young phenom JB Long sent a beautiful pass up to Vaughn Miller Jr for Gusto’s 1-0 lead. Vaughn picks up another goal on a neck shot, and Gusto puts Prestonwood on their heels. JB, making his season debut, gives his team a 3-0 advantage with his own neck shot slicing between defenders and through the uprights. Prestonwood’s Ronnie Puente would not quit and picks up his lone goal of the day on a cleanup of Sidro’s derby race to goal. Last weeks MVP Trenton Werntz made an impact with 2 straight goals, a penalty conversion and another Sidro cleanup. Just like that the game was tied 3-3. Vaughn Miller Jr and Juanita decided to take matters into their own hands and go coast to coast with a little ballerina move by Juanita mixed in, and the game was over 4-3 Gusto wins.
The second game of the day was Hondo vs Waterski America, Umair Kaimkhani was eager to get his season debut underway and started with a goal for Hondo to tie the handicapped Waterski 1-1. Ramon “Moncho” Espinal then scored twice to take the lead 3-1. Vance Miller answered with a penalty and Chris Jones added a beautiful run to goal to tie 3-3. Moncho added another, and Jonathan Garnica scored his first career goal at Prestonwood to further the advantage 5-3. Umair would seal the deal with 2 more goals. Waterski made a valient comeback down 7-3 and brought it to 7-6 with 2 goals from Vance and 1 from Chris off an assist from talented young player Niklaus Felhaber. Hondo would advance 7-6.
April 30th Yabe Classic Gusto Prevails, Trenton Werntz named MVP
Gusto took on Prestonwood green to kick off the spring season, and Vaughn Miller Jr wasted no time to score the first goal of the season on Giaconda. Sidro Olivas answered quickly with a deep neck shot riding the clubs new paint horse Elvis. Sidro went right back to work with a breakaway finish on his horse Prince. Gusto held a 2-1.5 lead, but Vaughn Miller Jr took the matter into his own hands with a coast to coast goal on Juanita. Chris Jones would clear the ball out of danger and Prestonwood green held onto a 2.5-2 win against Gusto.
In the second leg of the round robin Gusto took on Prestonwood red. Ronnie Puente started off the scoring with a split second throw in run. Cale Curtin got Gusto going with a penalty conversion on his powerhouse Nola. Ronnie Puente would get his second on the board in huge fashion, a booming blast through the uprights, riding Noche. Cale Curtin was a man on a mission and finished his second goal riding Nola to match Ronnie’s 2 goals. Red thought they were in good position until Vance Miller scores and makes a game changing backshot save as Mariano Silva was about to score. Sidro went coast to coast, capping off his third goal of the day on a home run neck shot 60 yards in the air to give Gusto the win 4.5-2.
The final leg of the Yabe classic was Prestonwood red and green. Mariano Silva, Texas A&M champion, scored a tiki tiki goal on April to start off strong for red. A quick garbage cleanup by Vaughn Jr tied the game 1-1. Morgan McBride then took a run all the way to goal which led to a safety in favor of green. Vaughn Miller Jr would proceed to smoke a 60 yard penalty atop Guillermita to take a 2-1 lead. Ramon “Moncho” Espinal, who controlled the game all day long, sauced up the green team on Sahara and evened the score. Green had a sneaky .5 lead but failed to hold onto it, Ronnie Puente on Sombra took a pass from Moncho and scored to win the game. With net goals in play and all teams tied at 1-1 Gusto took the victory. Trenton Werntz was named MVP after his stellar offensive and defensive hustle for Gusto.
