Girl Divers Support Each Other In Hard Times by T. Shumaker and MB. Simon Statistics, in some cases, are deceiv- ing. In the case of the Girls Diving Team, the statistics do just that. Their record, which turned out to be 5-6-1, doesn ' t really tell the whole story. The girls learned quite a bit from their coach, junior Geoff Hockman. According to Hockman, the girls biggest hurdle to overcome was not the diving itself but the practice schedule. Kris Gosine elabo- rated, The practices themselves were hard but the problem was that they were scattered. We had to go to Seaholm every day, but on Mondays, Wednes- days, and Fridays, we also had to go to Lahser in the evening for lessons. It was finding transportation and arranging schedules that was the hard part. The actual workout included extraor- dinary amounts of sit-ups, push-ups, and jumping jacks. They also used the weight room to work their arm and leg muscles. The practices held at Lahser with other divers were conducted as a class by Happy to be finished with the grueling sit-ups, push-ups, and weight training. Diane Geraduzzi forcefully springs into the pool with her added strength from dryland training, photo by Paul Donar former coach Bill Cody. When Cody was unable to coach, Ed Heil took over. Then when Heil left, Hockman took over as coach. The girls were really supportive of each other and 1 think that is what made the difference between this year ' s team and other years, asserted Hockman. As a first year coach, Hockman found coaching to be a rewar- ding experience. The girls, considering that they are all only sophomores, stayed really cool during the coaching change. After suffering through a dismal start in which the divers failed to win against their first four opponents, the team rallied for several sharp performances, including a season-ending victory over Pioneer. It was hard to pick award winners this year since Hockman had only been with them half a year but he chose Carrie Kohs as Most Valuable Diver and Kris Gosine for Most Improved Diver. Carrie Kohs also placed 15th in the SMA. Next year? Hockman predicted, If they keep improving the way they do, 1 won ' t even worry about next year! The girls really sup- ported each other and that made the differ- ence in the long run.

ym- Year round training helped the water polo team gain the experience necessary for making this season a season to remember. In the spring, the guys joined forces to participate in Birmingham Polo, a combined team of exclusive Seaholm and Groves polo players. During the hot days of summer, P( | Q r T ' OV S ' ° ' ' ' ' Hibbert, Chris Siver, -■- A Vy V i Alex Lovell, Art Johns, Mike Baumuller, and Todd Foley practiced with Groves players in preparation for the Junior Olympics, taking place in the second week of August. The team traveled to Iowa City, Iowa for the major event. Because of their previous experiences, this year ' s team was able to concentrate on strategies, defense, and on eliminat- ing mistakes instead of learning how to play, as in past years. During their season, the Maples journeyed to cities ranging from Toledo to Windsor, as well as playing matches in the Oakland County area. Ironically, the water polo team ' s finest and worst games were both waged against the same team. East Kentwood. In one of their regular season games, the team lost by J. O ' Malley and K. Fitzpatrick a disappointing match by two goals to They ' re not The guys didn ' t get wr w m along all the time. but wf H they always made an r -m honest effort.

The swampmen anticipat- ed the opportunity to avenge their loss in the upcoming state tournament. With a devastating blow, the team demolished East Kentwood with a 16-5 victory. The Maples also crushed Ann Arbor, 9-4, their first win over Pioneer in 20 confrontations. They finished off their successful season with a record of 12 wins and 7 losses, and a third place standing in the state. Due to this year ' s notable season, the Seaholm Swampmen received some well deserved media coverage. Both the Birmingham Eccentric and Channel 7 Action News reported on this year ' s team. Out of the many notable players on the team, several stand out. The team ' s four All State players include Chris Siver and Art Johns, as well as leading scorer Rusty Hibbert and Most Valuable Player Todd Foley. This year ' s water polo team was unique in the fact that all the players will be returning next year. As junior co- captain Keith Cox explained. Everything looks good and I can ' t see why we can ' t come back next year and be the number one team in the state. WATER POLO 201
