Successful
Tournaments Prepare Girls Varsity Water Polo Team
by Brittany Brinkman
The girl’s varsity water polo team has started off their season strong.
With many preseason wins the Varsity girls are ready for WCAL victories.
The Water Polo team has been practicing hard morning and night for
their difficult season. In their preseason the team finished second
in the Wilcox Tournament, and second in the Independence Tournament.
Also they carried a 6-2 record, which set them up well for their league
games. Captains Kelsi Okuda and Christina
Shilling are leading the team well, along with their coach
Laura Scott.
The varsity girls’ first league game was on Tuesday, September 27
at Valley Christian against Notre Dame. The team was behind 0-3 after
the first quarter but they stuck together and claimed a victory. Coach
Scott states that “the girls were slow to get of the gate, but once
they settled down they could not be stopped”. The final score ended
up being 8-5 with Valley on top. Their second league game occurred
on September 29 against Archbishop Mitty. Prior to the game, Cathy
Manthey, Director of Aquatics, said, “The team is anticipating
their league game against the Mitty Monarchs and I am looking forward
to seeing great leadership from the varsity captains.” Despite the
incredible leadership by Okuda and Shilling the Warriors could not
pull off a win against Mitty. The final score was 6-8, but for next
time the girls are out to claim a victory against the Monarchs. The
varsity water polo team is obviously on their way to rewarding season.
More victories are expected from these Lady Warriors in the future.

Shakespeare, Where Art
Thou?
For some people, spending eight hours on a bus seems like some new
type of torture. Everyone going on the 11th Annual Oregon Shakespeare
Festival trip, though, saw things a little differently.
Coming prepared, all the students had some sort of diversion from
the drive; the neon glow of iPods, cell phones, and even a Pokémon
gameboy, poured out of people's seats and into the aisle.

Two '100 Year' Storms

of the Gulf of Mexico. As winds began to blow, reporters gave horrific
forecasts of what was to come. Hurricane Katrina, a category 4 (intensity
level out of 5), devastated much of the United States along the Gulf
Coast.

the West Catholic League. Senior Andrew Kikuta and
Junior Jonathan Langdon are this year's team captains.
