Practice makes per- fect, but the Varsity Wa- ter Polo team knew that success needed much more than just practice. Along with morning and afternoon workouts to build up their strength and endurance, the team members found they had to have desire and deter- mination to play to the ful- lest of their ability. When we felt deter- mined to beat the other team, we usually played our best and won. said senior Mark Stevenson, But when we weren ' t as confident, we didn ' t play up to our ability. Coach Dave Kimball felt that the team did better than they were expected to do and that they had improved a great deal since the previous season. I think we did really well this season, said Coach Kimball. A lot of positive things came out of It. The players also felt that many positive things came out of this year. They developed their skills as individual players and improved together as a team. The team ' s toughtest match was against Whit- tier. With the score tied 15-15, the two teams went into overtime. After a long struggle, Walnut came out as the victor, ending the game with a fi- nal score of 16-15. We were determined to win and win we did, said Mark. The whole team felt that their greatest goal was to make CIF and win league. But at the end of the season they were dis- appointed to find them- selves in fourth place, one win short of CIF. We didn ' t go as far as we wanted to, said sen- ior Roy Young. I guess the competition was too tough. In the end, determina- tion had brought some good fortune to the team. Mark Stevenson was named League MVP, Ted Kimball made league sec- ond team and Roy Young, Tony Buzzerio and Eric Cedergreen took honor- able mention. Another team that showed determination was the JV Water Polo team. They didn ' t come be- cause they had to, said Coach Karen Kimball. They enjoyed playing and were determined to win. The goal for the team was to develop the players water polo skills, and they achieved this by practic- ing basic drills. The team went three and three in league, the highlight being their close win over Rowland with a score of 7-6.
