Making A Spla h gfsfx, if, nqtgzsfggf 'This was the best year Agoura's had in my four years'-jason Cavalier - I Although the team ended with a league record of 2-6, Agoura's varsity water polo team expressed a lot of enthusiasm about the season. Dan Rosen, a varsity team member, commented that he enjoyed the season and was constantly challenged to improve. Part of this challenge was inspired by the new coach, Mike Mulligan. Coach Mulligan set high goals for his players and hoped for each to achieve his full potential. He stressed this desire through intense practices, which included going over fundamentals and practicing strat- egy. These practices helped Agoura finish fourth in league play and advance to CIF playoffs when third place Santa Ynez dropped out of the tournament. This year's varsity team was lead by co-captains jason Cava- lier and Matt Slan, by Todd Simmons, and goalie Paul Costa. According to Cavalier, the team was much more spirited, iandl everyone was friends. The junior varsity water polo team experienced more success than varsity and finished league with a 6-2 re- cord. The team tied Harvard and Nordhoff for league champions and, according to junior varsity member jahleel Wilson, Our junior varsity team this year was very strong. Their strength was mainly achieved through tough workouts and practices led by Coach Mulligan. Wilson also believed that practice was very necessary for us because it helped us with our skill and strength. Key players on the junior varsity team in- cluded Matt Weaver, Russ Cucina, Tim Nanson, Darin Smart, and goalie Hooshie Broomand. Overall, the ju- nior varsity water polo team played phenomenally. As Russ Cucina explained, We learned a lot from our new coach and worked better as a team. -Ctail Greenfield 86 Varsity Water Polo l news chronicle Goalie Paul Costa chases the ball during an intense game.
