Young j.V. run hard, fast Although they won no titles this year the junior varsity boys cross country team members distinguished themselves in meets against teams that were larger and more experienced than they were. With high placings at the meets at Seguin, third in eleven, Northside, second place, Cen- tral Catholic, second, and Southside Lions, the junior boy runners showed everyone that they had the talent needed to beat more experienced teams. Outstanding showings were contributed by Greg Marcus, 15th place, Mike Barrows, 17th place, and Larry Martinez in 23rd place at the Northside meet where 119 runners, from mostly five-A schools, were participat- ing. Also with outstanding fin- ishes were Larry Martinez, 24th, Roger Gragg, soth, and Doug Mellor in 48th at the meet at Southside Lions where 100 run- ners were present. Head cross country coach Bruce Fink said that the team was young and inexperienced, but that he was proud of its per- formance in the seasonal play.

'E s. - Boy poloers second in state With one of their best perfor- mances in years, the boys water polo team captured second in state behind Clark, losing by only one point in the final game of the play-offs. Crucial decisions of the sea- son were the team's defeat of John Jay in regular season play and its defeat of Ross Sterling, the tournament hosts, in double overtime during the state cham- pionships. Three players had the honor of being elected to the All-State team. Terive Duperier and Charlie Cauthorn, with 19 and 7 respectively in the state play- 216 Boys Water Polo offs, were elected to the first team. john Benivedes was elect- ed to third team for his cumula- tive score of ten goals. Other outstanding perfor- mances were contributed by Carlos Alfonsin, with four goals in the championship, and Schyler Batey and Garret Davis with one goal apiece. Goalie Cliff Emery's 45 saves in the four championship games were also a large factor in the team's excellent record for the season. Head water polo coach Jim Yates Credited the team with playing exceptionally well. 1985 BOYS WATER POLO W-9 L-4 AH 5 CLARK 14 AH 10 MARSHALL 11 AH 14 JAY 12 AH 8 LANIER O AH 8 JAY 6 AH 9 TULOSO 6 AH 5 MARSHALL 6 AH 8 JEFFERSON 7 AH 9 JAY 7 AH 14 NORTH SHORE 11 AH 11 STERLING 8 AH 5 CLARK 8
