Young And Small, But - Strong The varsity water polo team did quite well even though the team was young and the competi- tion was tough. In fact, the team played in one of the har- dest leagues in the country, and this small team consisted mainly of juniors and sopho- moresl The spirited team showed alot of enthusiasm this year. The comradeship between the players was strong, and the attendance to the prac- tices was almost perfect. Since we had a small team, we had to work extra hard , Joe Wexler, the varsity team captain, stated. However, their hard work paid off. As Steve Fineberg, the frosh-soph team captain, said, both varsity and frosh- soph teams were not playing for the glory of scoring, but for the glory of winning. Even though the players pushed themselves to do their very best, they did not forget to enjoy what they were doing. According to Parker Steel, having fun was definitely one of the most important things . Along with the growing popularity of the sport itself, Estancia ' s water polo team ' s future, with all it ' s eagerness and talented players, seems very promising. 126 Sp orts
