Water Polo Community Loses a Hero

Lamorinda Water Polo would like to honor one of the true hero’s of our sport who passed away last week. As a referee, Stephen Pal was a fair, enthusiastic, and a technically sound official. He was one of the most noticeable people on the deck as he was always smiling and talking to fans, players, and coaches in a friendly, positive manner. He grew up in Saratoga as an accomplished swimmer and polo player. His nieces and nephews play for 680, so his affinity for our program and area was clear. He was a true gentleman and will be sorely missed by our sport. Our sympathies go out to his wife and family.

Water Polo for Haiti

In the National Water Polo League's benefit event, OCWPC defeated Lamorinda Water Polo Club before a sold-out crowd at JSerra CHS. Although it was an exhibition game, both teams came out and played strong. The game was defined by strong defenses on both sides. Proceeds from the event will be donated to the Three Angels Children's Relief Program. A program dedicated to "coming together to help the children of Haiti by enriching their bodies with food, empowering their minds through education, and enlarging their spirits with love and compassion."
