ater Polo Polo Competition Rises By Kristen Yamasaki The crowd froze and time seemed to stand still as the last ten seconds on the clock slowly ticked by. The ball suddenly hurdled its way through the air towards the goal. At the last instance, the goalie blocked the ball sending it splashing back into the wa- ter. The Varsity team Wa- ter Polo team started with 'cWe had a comfortable being one of Coach Miller's better teams, was that, We had a united, very close knit group,'l remarked Co-captain, Dan Thors' feldt. Trey Freelen added to that feeling with, 'iWe had a comfort- able talking atmosphere, but I think the experience and time spent in the pool helpedfl a winning bang as they won their first games. They con- tinued to win even though Coach Miller remarked, 'Alt was an extremely strong league this year. We're one of the top ten in the talking atmo- sphere this yearf' - Trey Freelen. With the scores from the games, the Varsity either won by a lot, tthey beat San Pasqual 25:12, and Carlsbad 21:7l or lost by about one point. They won sixty percent of their county even with the strict competition. There are nine teams in the conference with four teams several games below us and five that were in the range of about one goal apart from us. Maybe some of the reasons for games overall. To finish off the season, Brian Napierala, the standout and best hole-man in the league replied, We had both the talent and the experience for a great team.

Wt 7 F rosh Team Surprises All By Julie Hartman 'Al-luddlelw yells player eighty-one. The other athletes bustle over towards the voice to confirm their next strategy. With the help- ful coaxing of Coach Franzen, this year's Freshman football team played much better than anticipated. Frosh athlete Danny Miller said, It was great to see how the team im- proved since the first week. The freshmen took their games very seriously. With this attitude they were able to achieve an awe- some record of seven wins and only two losses. Coach Franzen commented, After the San Marcos game and then the Hthrow- ing victory with Mt. Carmel, every person on the team realized that they just wouldn't quit, no matter how tough the opposition was. The most important thing for the kids to learn is that they must recognize that individ- ual goals aren't as important as team goals. If the rumor of a new and improved era for Pl-lS's football games has been spreading, it's definitely true for the class of 1990. Fresh- man athlete, Chris Rzewski said, lt's been an exciting first year on the PHS football team, and I'm looking forward to next year. Overall, the freshman football team pleased the entire school.
