Water Polo Drenches It was a satisfying season, especially made for ulcer-freaks and die-hard fans. Coach Jean Chard, in his second year of coaching, put lots of extra time and effort to get the team going. Coach Chard appreciates the school support and hopes to get more people interested in the future. Depth didn ' t pose any problem as it had in the past as Coach Chard boasted the largest squad in Souths Water Polo history. Adjustment was the name of the game for the Patriot Water Polo team. Only seven out of 36 boys had ever played a full season. The inexperience really caught up with us in the close games. Coach Chard stated. Coach Chard also added that each player had the skill and potential to build a powerful team. However, they first had to learn to communica te with one an- other in the pool and be aware of one another ' s moves — two ingredients necessary for successful action. The Patriots had these ingredients working for them in many of their victories this year. There were many bright spots in this year ' s Water Polo season. The team dominated all the Parkway schools this year, one game being the 7-6 upset victory over Parkway West in overtime. The Junior Varsity added the first Water Polo trophy to Souths trophy case. Working their way into the Suburban Tourney Finals, they placed second. Eric Duecker. John Puri- celli, and Roger Coxon provided a high point in a mixed season for Coach Chard being elected nominees to the All-District Wa- ter Polo Team. Eric Duecker broke the school single-season scoring record with 71 goals and the single-game scoring record of 10 against Parkway Central. Jeff Bodart. Roger Coxon, Bruce Davis. Eric Duecker, Mike Gross, Tim Launius, Dino Mora, and John Puricelli were the eight seniors on the Water Polo team this year. All of them did an outstanding job and played an important part in the joint team effort. Leading the team off were the team captains, Bruce Davis, Eric Duecker, and John Puricelli. With some dependable returners, some promising freshmen and sophomores. Patriot Water Polo has reason to be optimistic about their future. Mr. Chard feels that the team has the experience of working together as a whole, which is the key factor in how many games they can win.
