Opening Day...

The the girl's waterpolo season opens today. It is pretty cool that Kalie who didn't even want to play this year, made the varsity squad. She's a fast swimmer.. If you don't know waterpolo, it is a great full contact sport. It's like legalized drowning. You have to be in ridiculously good shape because, you can't touch the bottom, or the the sides, you can't float on the ball, and everyone is trying to drown you, while you swim endlessly back and forth accros the pool. It's fun to watch, and it makes me wish I had played when I was a kid. Ok, I would still like to play right now.

Now, that the season is upon us... Get out your warm jackets, gloves and beanies because it's gonna be cold. The freezing rains, bitter cold evenings, and fog, are soon to follow. Girls winter water polo, playing under the lights, so cold, you can see your breath. Makes you wonder if it really could snow down here...

Ok.. so everyone put their hands together for the Oxnard Yellowjackets, or the LadyJackets as they like to be called. I call them the hottest looking girls in school. Opps.. I guess that's inappropiate.. Well, if I could have found their team picture, you would have to agree.

malibu won.. It was 7 to 5. This is where I go into me social class issues and the sport of waterpolo. but not today.. I will say that sb high has one of the best team in california, if not the best.

kalie didn't get any playing time in the varsity game, but played in the jv game and scored a goal. yeah!

here's the funny part.. warm and sunny in carp all day, then just about game time the clouds rolled in. time to break out the jackets.
