Warriors
of the Waves
Boys Varsity Water Polo team handles opponents
by Ryan Gray
The start of the new season for the Warriors Varsity Water Polo team
has actually been going strong since the beginning of summer. An intense
training regiment filled early mornings and late evenings with long
hours practicing the fundamentals and conditioning. All this work
helped the Water Polo team prepare for another grueling schedule in
the West Catholic League. Senior Andrew Kikuta and
Junior Jonathan Langdon are this years team captains.
Langdon, who looks forward to a winning season with optimism, said,
We are a young team this year, but I am still expecting a lot out
of them. Second-year coach Caleb Carlson, who led
the 04 team to their first league victory last year, is returning
with great expectations and enthusiasm. Former two time Olympian Steve
Barnett is assisting head coach Carlson and will surely contribute
a great deal to this young team.
During the Lincoln Tournament over the weekend of September 9th, the
Warriors went 2-2. They played two matches on Friday and then an additional
two on Saturday. Their first game against Salinas was looking very
promising until leading scorer and team captain Kikuta was ejected
on a controversial call early in the second period. From that point
on, the Warriors struggled for a victory, but just were not able to
pull it off. They went on to lose 11-9. Coach Carlson explained, We
are a young team and we made a lot of beginner mistakes. We just lost
to a good, senior-heavy team. Unfortunately the Warriors were unable
to obtain a victory in their second game against Los Gatos and ended
up losing 12-6. As a disappointing Friday came to an unsatisfying
end, the Warriors were focused and anxious for the next day of competition.
As the sun rose so did the Warriors as they prepared for their first
game against Willow Glen at 8am. Unlike the day before a resilient
and undeterred Valley Christian Warriors came out firing making several
goals in the first period. In the final game of the day the Warriors
came out with a huge victory over RL Stevenson with a final score
of 17-10.
Overall in the Lincoln Tournament team captain Kikuta led the team
in scores with a total of 14 goals, followed by Matt Smith
-11, Jared Clapham 7, Abram Coetsee
5, Aiden Lennihan 2, Danny Young
1, Jonathan Grizzle 1, and Ryan Gray
1. Although the Warriors only went 2-2 in this tournament coach
Carlson stated that he sees a lot of promise for this year.

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.

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.
