Water polo: June 2008 Archives

As The Heat Index reported on May 20, Naperville Central's Kara Wilson, Naperville Central's Tyler Kelley and Naperville North's Conor Handley were voted to the Illinois Water Polo first team all-state team.

The all-state banquet was held May 29 in Elmhurst and the all-state winners were posted on the IWP Web site sometime in the recent past.

The Heat Index did make a few errors in its initial report. The most blatant mistake was leaving Waubonsie Valley senior Max Martin off the list. Martin was given honorable mention.

Also, Waubonsie Valley's Bailey Gucinski was not on the third team as The Heat Index reported. She was given honorable mention.

The last three IHSA state finals this particular part of The Heat Index has covered have gone like this:

Boys swimming: Neuqua Valley wins state title.

Water polo: Naperville Central boys finish as runner up.

Boys volleyball: Neuqua Valley finishes third.

So basically fourth place is as good as the next team I see can hope to achieve. Teams would be much better off with a Paul LaTour or a Brad Engel. Their mojo seems intact.
