w ATER POLO Problems Flood JV Polo P he final outcome of the season was triumph, claimed Coach Anderson regarding the jv and frosh soph water polo teams. These athletes had to overcome many obstacles, but they did it, and they did it well. The obstacles included limited instruction, absence of experience, and the lack of necessary pool time. For the most part, the two teams consist- ed of rookies with a few returning mem- bers who started for the jv squad. These players were also responsible for teach- ing the first year players the complex game of water polo, since the teams had no designated coach. We all had to help each other and use our previous exper- ience, commented second-year player Charles Bufalino. Due to varsity ' s extensive practices, the jv and frosh soph teams had to work around the varsity schedule, leading to short practices at odd hours. We had to work out sixth period and come back at 4:15, stated Jason Bushong. Still, the jv water polo team managed to capture second place in the Ivy League, while frosh soph finished fourth. We had to work really hard because of all the problems, but we pulled through! con- cluded David Smith. While looking for an open team member, Jeff Slater prepares to pass the ball. The pass was com- pleted, resulting in a goal and North ' s win over Moreno Valley. 82 sports .4 h % — i- lB
