Throughout the years, the Villa Water Polo team was faced with many interesting events. After each season, the team brainstormed these events and put them to paper.
Here are just a few of the many memories we have.
"Let's get wet!"
Everyday, we would walk into Central pool, sit on the bleachers, and watch the end of PREP'S practice. Prep would get out of the pool and go down to the locker room to change. Villa was then suppose to get into the water to start, but no one ever did...not even LIBBY!!! After about 5 minutes or so, Mr. Vereb would walk over to us and say, "Let's get wet". This became such a regular thing, that when we saw him begin to walk over, someone would always whisper "Let's get wet" and laugh, and sure enough he would never fail to initiate practice with "Let's get wet"!!!
This was our all too frequent warm-up......that no one EVER did! It would never change. EVERY SINGLE DAY WE ARRIVED TO THE PATTERN!!! The only alteration in this plan was that half way through the year, Mr. Vereb started to write it on the chalkboard for all of us to see. This occurance happened ONLY because we could never clearly hear what he had to say. The "acoustics" were horrible, well, that's what we will just say!!
What?!?!?!? The Triangle drill, AGAIN?
The triangle is a very important drill for developing sprinting, passing and catching skills, BUT NOT WHEN YOU HAVE TO DO IT EVERYDAY FOR 25 MINUTES STRAIGHT!!! That is all I have to say about this.
The Universal Sign for NOT Paying Attention
Because we always did the same drill over and over again, we were faced with reality.....STUFF GETS BORING!!! Thanks to Tara, (With a "T"), we now have and official sign for not paying attention. Put your arms up in the air, squeeze them next to your ears, and slowly spin around in circles. If this is unfamiliar to anyone around you, say, "This is the Universal Sign for not paying attention", and everyone will catch on.
Who Could Forget...

2009 Remember When
None of us talked
Sarah wore her socks in the pool at practice
Central's pool was 86 degrees, and it steamed up so much you couldn't see the other end of the pool.
The Prep boys had to do in-and-outs because the day before they left one cap out and we picked it up.
Mentally handicapped person came into practice and made good friends with coach.
Emily almost jumped into the pool with her bra on... lucky for her we have Adrienne.
In North Allegheny we went to Montecello's Pizza place and all bought mustaches from the little machine.
Adrienne entered what she called "Munchkin Land" at the Olive Garden.
We put Emily in goal for the first time and got hit in the face... Adrienne laughed (I think because she is the one who threw it)
The alarm clock went off at 12 AM in the room of Kelsey, Rachel, Emily and Katie... so Kelsey simply just ripped the cord out of the wall.
Rachel found Narnia.
Rachel truly thought the safe was the microwave and she wanted her pizza warm
We convinced Adrienne we couldn't stay in the pool because of the lightning, so instead we went outside and sat in puddles.
At the end of our game, thePrep boys game in dressed like fools. (They were there for the Prep/McDowell game, but we will pretend they were there for us).
One word... GRAPES
Rachel lined her meds up along the side of the pool.
To lower the number of in-and-outs we were goint to have to do, we could all try to touch the flags. None of us could do it so we threw people up to the flags.
We made friends with the boys from Mechanicsburg in the wrestling room at NA.
Alex drove Kelsey's parents, Kelsey and Kate to Olive Garden, and we almost died
Maggie and another girl both got kicked out because they were fighting... neither of them even had the ball.
Rachel made a complete change from one swim suit to another... in the pool!
Emily had dagger toe nails and one girl got out of the pool bleeding.
Coach as Kelsey if people were looking at his butt... how do you respond to that?
Adrienne told Rachel to stop coughing... She stopped coughing but got the hiccups instead.
No matter how badly we we played, our suits were still the best.
Adrienne and Coach were both so made at us that they made us stay and watch the next game. Over half the team cried!
At Kathryn's house, Adrienne turned on the Dust-buster and it was still attached to the base. It took 5 minutes just to figure out how to turn it on.
Kelsey and Rachel were doing James Bond rolls on Kathryn's living room floor.
Also at Kathryn's, Katie's phone went missing... it was found in the bag of Swedish fish.
We kept passing the ball down the pool so Allison could score in the last game of the season.
Christine and Sarah both would not get in the pool for warm-ups and all the parents thought something was wrong.
Christine and her mom, along with Sarah's mom had to help a screaming lady who had been stabbed in the ear at Wendy's.

We weren't allowed to wear our polo t-shirts to school
Tori had nine steals in the Upper Merion game and even got kicked out
The Upper Merion game lasted an hour and a ten minutes

Made "busted eye" go put on her suit at the game because they weren't playing well
Underwear decorations on Mr Sewiecki
Scrimmaged old-timers before the start of the season

We thought we were going to have to eat lunch at a gas station as punishment for not winning a game

Ate dinner with a band playing and sang along to their songs

We all got out of the pool when Mr. Fischer just told Amber to get the water bottle behind the goal
David was our cheerleader
Singing "Don't Stop Believing"
Tori said to the Wilson coach, who was carrying their red water polo balls, "I really like yours balls"
"The Look" by Madison
He Who Walks Alone or Squanto Woodward
The refs loved Adrienne
We had two Amazons on the team
Carrie always got kicked out of the games
We got Laura pumped up for the games by insulting her
Adrienne grabbed a McWho? cap
"Where's Missy?"
Jamie was always on her cell phone with her 2 million boys
Annie put Meghan M. in her place by telling her "she was always the classy one"
The Penn Charter gaolie
Our spirit point game earned maybe 2 points
HO-HOS
"One day you will wake up and you won't remember the score of the game, or your won/loss recored. But you'll remember the want. The desire for the game. How you could hardly fall asleep the night before a game. The feeling you got in your stomach during the warm-ups. The way your heart raced just before the whistle blew, and how it was comforting to know that your teammates were there with you, experiencing the same feelings. Your teammates were your best friends, your family, and you will never forget that."
Seven and a half hours to Reading??
Well, that is about how long we took to get there. It was only suppose to be five and a half hours, but somehow we took "the wrong road". Our game was suppose to start in 20 minutes and we were still 20 miles away! We were late for our game because, well, we did not know where we were going. "We had bad directions." Mr. Felix made it to Reading in about 5. We left two hours before him, and he was at the pool 10 minutes after us!!! The trip was not an entire waste of time- we got to see EVERY stoplight in Pottsville!! Oh man!!!
WHOOPS...Totalbin was that your head, again?
For some strange reason, there was a magnetic attraction between Totalbin's head and the ball. Every time we turned around, a yellow ball would be seen bouncing off Sarah's head. No one ever did it on purpose, but it was ironic that it happened so often.
A swing and a miss
It is no wonder why our Varsity team was 108 for 385, Rachel and Courtney (LOL) always managed to shoot.......and MISS!!! Next year we should probably work on the basics like shooting, catching and passing instead of "geting in the tank" and hearing "get up," (whistle), "get up", (whistle), (whistle), (whistle)!!! Just a suggestion!!
Oh my gosh! Is that Matt Tighe??? Really???
One day we were in the pool doing nothing and practice was becoming exceedingly boring when an unfamiliar man walked into the Central Nadatorium. This seemed like the perfect opportunity to play a practical joke. Katie did not have her contacts in so she was an easy target. Someone enthuastically called out, "Hey, is that Matt Tighe over there?" Matt Tight was actually at one of our practices?? He never even comes to any of our games. The situation carried on and Katie was completly convinced. She almost got got out of the water to go see him, when she realized she had just become the butt of our joke!!
Alerting All.... Jenn has "toe thumbs"
Has everyone heard that Jenn got in an accident and had to have her thumbs replaced with her big toes? This is why she has to wear sandals with only one strap. Her problems makes it difficult to wear flip-flops. This is a hush-hush thing and we have to keep it on the DL, so don't tell your friends, and don't worry, she is okay!!
The Urge for Crispy Creams
Each car ride home from a tournament, it would be imperative to stop either for dinner, to fill up the tank or empty one of our own!! One stop, Kaitlin ran into the store and bought a dozen Crispy Creams. The entire way home, she sat in the back seat with the donuts on her lap and NO ONE was allowed to have one. Who knew gas stations had donuts anyway??
"MAN, We suck!!!"
For the first time, these unpleasant words were not coming out of the mouthes of Villa Water Polo players! We went down to Pittsburgh for a tournament. We played well and went undefeated. We were even playing boys!!!, some hairy ones, I might add!! After one of our games, we overheard one of the boys say, "Man, we suck. We were beat by a bunch of girls." All I can say is, "Just wait until next year. We are going to RULE!!!!!!!!"
"Pat your head...."
....rub your stomach, jump up and down, scream and cry, and maybe we will put in a sub for you. There were many games where players would get the chance to play, but would become ineffective because they were tired. That didn't matter. We do not believe in subs and therefore, even if the game is out of control WE WILL NOT SUB! Do whatever you want in the water, because you will be in there for a long time. That was one of our problems this year. We were highly capable of winning a lot of our games, but fatigue set in. I think we forgot to read the chapter in "The Water Polo Manuel" titled, "SUBSTITUTION".
