. - • ' H20 POLO GAINS RESPECT The water polo team clearly reached their goal of regaining the respect of other mem- bers of the league during the ' 88 season. The varsity team conducted itself honorably and played well, despite its 0-6 league record. The new varsity coach, Don Laster, cited driver scorer Thad Gardner, goalie Marc Beeby, two-meter man Tom Debellis and fast break artist Mike Bernholtz as the strengths of the varsity team. Their attitude, along with their desire to work hard, helped the team play markedly better than in the previous season. A highlight was the two trophies earned in pre-season tournaments. The leadership of Bill Archard and driving enthusiasm of Grant Lupo combined with the talents of Sean Roberts and James Bower to give theJ.V. team a 2-3 record. The peak of the season was dealing a crushing blow to San Clemente. A third in league with an exciting win over Mission Vie jo gave the frosh soph team the top record of all four water polo teams. Hole set Brett Bowen, hole defense Mike Minck, and driving offense Jeremy Beauchemin were the strengths of the team, according to Coach Dickmann. Trent Wise, Shaun Miller, Matt Blanken- biller, and Chris Lawrence are promising players who helped add to the depth throughout the [ jov ' ce] team that allowed [ f] to form a firm foundation for future years, stated Coach Mike Sullivan. The team ' s ability to capitalize on the fast break was evident in the victories against Capo Valley and San Clemente. As Mike Bernholtz stated, There s no doubt with Laster ' s coaching that the team could take league within four years. -k.l. 5. JUNIOR AND SENIOR WATER POLO — (from) K. ONeal (scats), E. Paegle, D.

mn?!rx ' - ! tim. Once Aiinin. the vnrskv tennis team finished their season in second place, in one of the most competitive leagues in Orange County. Their 8- J record qualified them for C.I.F. competition where they decimated the Woodbridge team n- 1 before narrowly losing to the rival Foothill .scjuad 10-8. Kristin Green avenged the team by becoming back-to-back singles champion tor two years in a row. Coach Jenkins commended a well-rounded doubles team including the Kelly Lynch Heather Bolton combination which powered past their competition to a second place title in the South Coast League. Jenkins also singled out Kristin Green and Kelly Lynch (numbers one and two singles players, respectively) tor their strong performances. The junior varsity team was a strong team that finished third in league. Coach Daniels pointed out the fact that there were only four returning team members from the previous year ' s team. Nonetheless, she stated that the strong and consistent singles play of Tara Shima and Alli- son Ott. combined with the hard work of the Allison Martin Michelle Reiner duo, strength- ened the team. Allison Ott and the doubles team of Julie Rosenbluth and Lisa Murrey dis- played their skill to complete the season with fourth place finishes. The team ' s hard-working nature, the tremendous talent, and the large numbers of skilled freshmen bode well for next year ' s team. Coach Daniels hopes to trounce traditional powerhouse Capo Valley and other competition next season, -e.c. 1. Joy Mills covers her alley and powers her shot past Capo. J.
