WHS
ALUMNI FALL CLASSIC – GAME ON!
10/17/09
Another
gorgeous fall day, another excuse to get in the pool and toss the ball around.
28
Alumni, current Varsity Girls & Boys players and around 75 spectators made the pool at Washington High School THE place
to be!
The
girl’s game started with Jenna Silva 05, Traci Robertson 05, Kristy Cardone 06, Katie Rehnberg 06, Erin Carscadden 09,
Allie Norris 04 and Carissa Bergman 98- coached by Lloyd Cardone (WHS Coach '00-'07) taking on the Varsity girls, coached
by Cameron Brahmst 05. A few alumni men joined the mix to help the girls out and eventually Cameron got in to bolster
his Varsity girl’s scoreboard. A lot of smiles from the girls and few fouls called by Ref. Geno Kendall made for
a fun challenge. Sorry, we don’t remember the score – it ended in “exhausted to exhausted.”
Then
came the battle of the old guys, the “more recent” guys and the Varsity Boys. In the pool for the Alums:
Mo Dictor 06, Page Frakes, Joe Nilson 06, Cameron Brahmst 05, Jimmy Dunsford 08, Kevin DeFranco, 08, Richard Montgomery 73,
Casey Cardone 04, Sean Nicolaysen 03, James Yauch 02, Sean Ceballos-McGee 03, Matt Dring 08, Christ Dring 05, Vincent Guevara
02, Randy Usedom 78, Scott Harvey 08, Jim Hassett 90, Nonda Kozas 08, A J Griffeth 09 with Ken Neumeister 73 and Bob Dunsford
76, on the deck.
The
Varsity Boys did a miraculous job of keeping the score to a 1 point win for the Alumni Men. Lots of subbing for the
Alums, Rich Montgomery played in fins and many of the guys remembered the shallow end advantage. The Ref didn’t
notice all the “player unders” which made for a physical and sometimes hilarious game.
When
the caps came off and lunch was served by WHS team parents, led by Kristi Caracappa, the smiles were all there. We enjoyed
2 great games and a picture-perfect afternoon of teammates reconnecting and remembering.
WHO’S
GOING TO WIN NEXT YEAR???
