J The J V ' s provided another year of winning tradition. Consisting of a strong defense and a young but inexperi- enced offense, they sailed to an 8-2 league season and a 10-2 record overall. Their only losses this year came against rival Pacifica, We played really hard and we were very team oriented, claimed Alyssa Allen. With such a talented group of players, most of whom were under-classmen, the girls are looking foreword to a great Varsity year. Looking back though, it was quite a suc- cessful and satisfying year.

Yes, We Can. . . ' , f i Once again. El Dorado proved to be a dominating force in 4A C.I.F. water polo. Though 17-9 overall, they played to a 7-0 Empire League championship record. Their first league game vjas probably for the championship, reflected Ron Jones. Though they were unranked for most of the year, they forced all of their opponents to play at their very best, including such long time powers as Long Beach Wilson and Newport Harbor. Because of the suspension of coach Gary Robinett last season, assistant principal. Rick Davis, took the helm to open the season. The day before the Esperanzo game, he was relieved by the Junior National Coach, Tom Milich. Even though we only had two Seniors starting, we played really well, stated Dirk Pinkerton. Said Tony Bell, We matured a lot and became more team oriented as the year went by. We all gained a lot of experience throughout the season, too! Empire League officials felt the squad had much talent to offer, naming Dirk Pinkerton, Ron Jones, and Tony Bell to first team All- League, Sophomore Chris Ames to the second team with Todd Wallace and Scott Mori recieving Honorable Mention. Tony Bell was also named as the Empire League Most Valuable Player. Next year, the varsity will have five returning starters. Craig Till- man, the only Freshman to make the squad, is one of them. I ' m really happy I made varsity, but Tony helped me so I could stay, shared Craig. With spirit like that, no wonder they ' re winners. Flexing his muscles, Ron Jones floats the ball into the goal. Craig Tillman wonders what to do with the funny little round thing. Varsity Water Polo 167
