Kuppa Results, and Thank You

Congratulations to Jungle Cat Water Polo! Despite splitting into balanced teams, JCWP managed four quarterfinal spots and two semifinal spots. The five teams finished third and fourth and about sixth, seventh, and tenth out of seventeen teams.

On behalf of the coaching staff, thank you to all players for sharing your passion for water polo with us, and thank you to all parents for sharing your sons and daughters this winter.

A fond farewell to the seniors who are finished with JCWP, with their numbers of seasons played with us in parentheses:

Debandt, Nick (9)
Derdeyn, Will (8)
Faust, Danny (2)
Gerber, Charles (5)
Hohenberger, Matt (parts of 8)
Maloney, Patrick (8)
Meara, Jack (3)
Morrissey, Bob (4)
Murphy, Erin (4)
*Page, William (9)
Savio, John (8)
*Sigman, Steve (8)
Tucker, Jim (3)

In the 11-year, 22-season history of Jungle Cat Water Polo, three players have played with us during 11 of those seasons. (No other players have played with us as many as 10 seasons.) A very special Thank You to the standard-bearers:

*Trent Going
John Heafner
Michael O'Neill

*We hope Trent, William, and Steve continue playing with us this summer on our Junior Olympic team.
