Waterpolo endures tough season According to Coach Rich Gabatino, the statistics tell only a small part of the water polo story. ‘The fact that we were late in finding a practice pool de- nied us adequate preparation time. Everyone worked hard—our record is not a fair estimate of our abilities or effort. Our league was very tough and talented this year, commented Gabatino. The highlights of the season were the overtime victories over Chadwick (7-6) and Webb (8-7). The lowest point was the unexpected defeat by La Salle in the Mariner rematch. These Mariners were especially honored: John Freund who was voted All-League Offense and chosen by the team as Most Valuable Player; Chris Harrer was voted the Most Improved Player; while Martin Sharpe received the Coaches' Award. 2 (1) A suspense-filled moment for coaches Godlno and Gabatino (2) The Chadwick defeat brings smiles to the faces of Coach Rich Gabatino and Coach Rich Buzz Godlno (3) Comic relief takes over after a tense game (4) Senior super-star.
