Boys\’ Water Polo goes to San Francisco

By Kelly Torok, Staff Writer

During homecoming week when many students and staff were preparing for the big dance, the varsity boys\’ water polo team had other plans. They traveled to the bay area for the first time to compete in a water polo tournament.

The guys left Thursday afternoon and came back Saturday night. Though the boys usually go to San Diego as an annual trip, head coach Sean Elo decided to switch it up a bit, and took the guys to compete with the northern teams.

During the tournament, the boys played five games and won one. Elo says, “The guys up north play differently compared to the guys down here. They play very physically up north. Our team could have done better.”

Though some of the guys were disappointed about missing homecoming, they still had a lot of fun. The guys visited Fisherman\’s Wharf, Ripley\’s Believe it or Not, and UC Berkeley.

“San Francisco is the guys\’ type of city,” Elo says. “This was a good bonding experience and we all learned much more about each other. Hopefully this will become an annual trip for the boys.”
