State water polo pla offs slip awa from squad A berth in the state playoffs for the Boys Water Polo Team was clipped by one game as the LaMarque Mustangs proved to be a stopping block for the Deer. ln Coach Fred HanzeIka's opinion the team gave a good effort, despite their loss of the first game with LaMarque, 26-17. Rebounding from the first season loss, the Deer put together a three game winning streak beating North Shore, Galena Park and Baytown Sterling, only to lose again to LaMarcjue, 28-21 . This last game against the Mustangs destroyed the team's hopes of a playoff berth. Despite the boys' favorable season the girls' team had a rougher time. Placing fifth in the season's standings, the Girls Water Polo Team ended with a record of one win and five losses. With a come from behind effort, the squad put together a win over Galena Park, 18-12. With all team members returning for next year, experience will not be lacking. Several players proved themselves outstanding throughout the season, Coach Hanzelka said. Leading the team of the girls side were junior Peggy Payne and sophomore Pat Klehn. Leading players for the boys were juniors David Balusek, Ricky Turner, Timmy McGhee, Flicky Harris, Ross Cowart, John Baggett and sophomore Phillip Knotts. A. Before the start of a game a referee checks the length of the team's fingernails. Since there is much physical contact in water polo, the length of the nails is a factor. A player can be barred from a game if they are too long. B. Holding the ball high in the air to avoid a blocked shot, junior forward John Baggett takes careful aim. Baggett was an outstanding defensive player. C. Hoping to improve the score, junior forward David Balusek attempts another goal. Balusek was one of the high scorers for the sea- son with an average of six points a game. D. During the boys contest with Alvin,.soph- omore Melissa Pennington, goalie for the girls team, tends the score sheet, as senior manager Wesley Strange tallies team fouls. E. After 10 Alvin team fouls, sophomore John Villars takes careful aim on a free penalty shot. Villars was a defensive player, but scored 12 points for the season. F. Using correct defensive position, junior Timmy McGhee also shot occasionally and scored 10 points for the season. G. Taking advantage of a break in play, Coach Hanzelka talks over strategy to be used against Galena Park. Utilizing a come from behind effort, the girls won 18-12. p,.,in-U., 1 .t 1 A -41 bc- l l
