Memories from the Past...
This season started with us losing 5 out of our first 8 games. We had 8 injuries during the first 4 weeks that required medical attention. We won the next 16 out of 19 games and finished 3rd in the State Tournament.

In the first tournament of the season we experienced the ugliest injury--- those were the 26 stitches it took to close a laceration on Jim Purcell's throwing hand. Because of the injury to our main legitimate offensive threat, the improvement made by this team was probably the most significant of all the Bulldog water polo teams. Every player had to pick up the slack and everyone did!

Does anyone else remember that I gave Mel Bauer some ice to put on his cut eye and he put it in the pool when he went to get his towel?

During the State Championships, Rich Kuntze, our team manager, was so efficient that he gave the hotel management personnel our itinerary. Hello.....so when we came back after dinner, our rooms had been burglarized... welcome to Los Angeles.

All in all, it was a pretty happy group who flew home in spite of the Airline Captain welcoming the CSM Hockey Team.
