WATER POLO ' «Ncv New Coach Brings Wins M ore instruction helped us win Singer about the ]V water polo team. In the past Coach Anderson coached both ]V and varsity, giving much less attention to JV. But in 1984 a new coach, Marshall Heaney, was found for ]V and the team finised with an 8-3 record. The fact that no players from last year ' s win more games. DAVID SINGER JV mi ' V .-. 1 up li ,1 ;;lartiiii.) pi xiith ai un varsity was one of the keys to the JV ' s success. Having experienced players on the team really helped the new play- ers, explained David Smith. Players called rovers, who were starters on ]V, played in varsity games when North had a comfortable lead. Playing in varsity games gave me confidence and made me a better player, said Doug Linklater. In addition to JV, North, for the first time, had a frosh-soph water polo team because of the overwhelming number of students who wanted to play. This was composed of freshmen and sopho- mores without water polo experience. Although there was a lack of exper- ience, the extra attention given to them by the new coach helped them achieve an Ivy League championship with a 3-0 record. Marshall really got the team going, concluded Charles Bufalino. The special attention Heaney gave to both the IV and frosh-soph teams pro- vided the extra push that made their season successful. ••• In a practice game at North, Tom Gregory shoots the ball between two defenders.
