REFLECTING ON THE SEASON
Coach Britt and Trew were alone at the pool Monday. There was a quiet calm on the water and around the facility without any of the players around. It gave them a chance to reflect on the season. "The season just flew by this year," said Coach Britt. "It seems like yesterday we were asking each other whether we will get access to the Tracy pool next week." "We are very pleased to get 5 players on both SJAA All-League teams. It is nice to see their hard work payed off and they got noticed by the other SJAA coaches. "They have established a nice base for us and the underclassmen need to keep it going for next year. "We are working on some things that will make our program even better next year," said Coach Britt. The coaches stated they would like to thank all the parents for their support. They specifically called out the Booster Club and Ms. McCary for coming back to scorekeep. He also thanked the parents that took pictures and contributed to the website. "The program is heading in the right direction with all the players and parents hard work. Let's keep the momentum going into 2010! "See you at the year-end party." "GO DOGS, GO POLO" - Coach Keith Britt PS....Coach Britt is still looking for senior gift money to be offered by the parents. Saturday, October 31

GOOD LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR JV GIRLS AT TOURNEY
The scorebook for the Lodi tournament will show three losses, however Coach Keith Britt was far more upbeat then a 1-3 showing might indicate. "It was a good learning experience for us today. It was hard playing four games on a warm day, associated with homecoming weekend, etc," said Britt. "We just let a few periods get away from us and it turned into a swim meet that we could not finish. When we had good spacing and made good passes, we looked good against some very strong JV teams." Coach Britt also wanted to thank the parents that made the decision to go to Panera Breads over Pizza. "Good call."

Coach's Comments on Bear Creek Game
In a post game conference after the Bear Creek game, Coach Britt said, " It was nice to see a good turn out for our last senior home game. The girls may have played their best game of the year. We had a great third period when we played very well. Girls - keep it going into your last game." Coach thought it was interesting that the 5 yellow cards that he received this season came from the same referee. He also wanted to say that he is, "VERY PROUD OF WHAT THIS SR CLASS HAS DONE FOR THE PROGRAM. THEY HAVE FORMED A SOLID BASE FOR THE CLASSES TO FOLLOW." And on a final note, he said, "LET'S FINISH THIS SEASON WITH A GREAT LAST GAME VS LODI ON THURSDAY!" Friday, October 23

EMOTIONAL DAY AT THE DOG BOWL

Norman did a great job in the goal. Hope and Lindsey had a very good senior game. Everyone did a nice job. Keep it going, ladies!"

Tyler Black and Tanner did a good job filling in for Brandon. Ben and Conner did a good job controlling the game along with Justin winning the swimming part and Jake being Jake. Everyone did their part." Coaches wanted to let the boys know that they have "all the faith in you" and now "you guys have to believe in yourselves."

Rough Day for Bulldogs
Battling the weather conditions on Tuesday night was no easy task for the Bulldogs or their spectators. In the rain and the wind, the Bulldogs got swept by the Lodi Flames. Varsity Boys kept the game close for three quarters, but the Flames pulled away in the end. More details to follow from coach Britt on the other games....
Coach Britt and Coach Trew were a bit frustrated in their post game press conference. "We are very disappointed in the results with the performance of all four teams. Both teams played under the same conditions and Tracy didn't show up to play and Lodi did. Lodi handled the elements better than Tracy did," said Coach Britt. "The players can do a lot better job in the pool if they listen more to the coaches rather than generating so many comments," said Britt. Saturday, October 10

BULLDOG VARSITY SWEEP FRANKLIN
It was a good day for the varsity girls and boys as they swept Franklin at the THS pool Tuesday. For the varsity boys it was a very long and cold day as things got started long before the sun came up with practice at 6 a.m. Led by great shooting spread throughout several players and outstanding goaltending by Jake Finney the boys won 23-9. The girls varsity won the early game 12-7.
WEBMASTER NOTE: I arrived a little late today due to some work issues and missed taking pictures of the Girls Varsity game. Fortunately Mrs Phelps and Mr. Thallander had their cameras going.

We have learned a lot in the last couple of weeks about water polo. I hope we can apply it." In the 1st game on Saturday, Tracy beat Antelope 11 - 4 and in the 2nd game they lost to San Marin 6 - 5.

VARSITY BOYS DOMINATE WEST 26-7
If you showed up a few minutes late for the varsity game, you missed the only time the score was close and the game was in doubt. Within a couple of minutes, the starting crew of the boys varsity team had the game firmly in hand. With every Tracy goal that kept snowballing, the frustration began to mount for the West coach and his players. The final score was 26-7. Seniors Jake Finney and Ben Agee who are best friends and have played for four years on varsity and in many crosstown games, led the Bulldog attack against West. Finney was amazing in goal preventing a West score until there was only 3:31 left in the 1st half. He also had at least 15 blocked shots. Justin Phelps had six goals, Ben Agee five, Conner Shapre and Tyler Trew had four, and additional scorers were Tanner Silva, Brandon Jossey, Andy Levand, and Michael Samanigeo. West will get a chance for revenge when all the teams are matched up again on Saturday October 10 at West. Pictures are loaded here Tracy Press coverage is here

J.V. GIRLS CLAIM EXCITING VICTORY OVER WEST / VARSITY GIRLS LOSE
TRACY PRESS COVERAGE - CLICK HERE Coach Britt wanted a sweep over West but instead he had to settle for a split. The J.V. game was an exciting matchup that went to overtime and was not decided until very late with Tracy coming out on top 12-10. The varsity matchup was over early as West put it out of reach 8-1 at the half and ended the game lopsided 17-3. In the J.V. game, Mariah Serrato was the offensive weapon with 11 goals. Kiraa Johnson had 8 blocks and Jenni Albee contributed with 4 blocks. Further stats to come from the coach.

BOYS DEALT A MIXED HAND IN RENO
HIGH DEF VIDEO SUMMARY NOW AVAILABLE HERE 4 minutes In the Silver State Shootout tournament in Reno this weekend, the varsity boys water polo team showed signs of being a very good team in their play against Ygnacio Valley, Elk Grove, and Reno. In their final game against Washington High, they were physically and mentally beat by a well oiled squad. The Bulldogs finished 2-2 and played in the playoff game for 2nd place squads. Recap: In the final game of the tournament, the Bulldogs lost to Washington High, 15-5. In game 3 on Saturday morning, Tracy was matched up against Reno and the Bulldogs won 13-11. Game should not have been that close, but Tracy looked a little lethargic in the pool. Tracy will play at 1:00 p.m. today in the playoff game for 2nd place teams. In game 2 at 6 p.m. Friday, the boys won against Laguna Creek of Elk Grove 14 - 4. The win has Tracy set up to battle for a potential 2nd place finish. Two more games are slated for Saturday. In game 1 Friday, the boys led most of the game but fell late 7-6 to Ygnacio Valley. ALL PICS LOADING HERE IN PHOTO GALLERY
