LJ g water polo: Connections missed

By Ed Piper

"Connection. We made connections. I like connections.

"Someone taking a shot, when they could pass to someone else," said Amy Jennings, La Jolla High's water polo coach, on the Vikings' scrimmage against host Rancho Bernardo. "There were at least four times when I thought they could have passed."

Pondering why the lack of "connection" on those plays, Jennings said, "Now they're (her players are) on the team. (Team selections have been finalized.) They don't need to prove to me how good they are. They don't need to stand out.

"We need the cohesiveness" (that results in "connecting" with passes to open teammates).

This, after a 14-1 thrashing of the Broncos. With everyone playing, there was a chance to assess.

Commented the coach, "I like the fact I can sub in and there is no drop-off in ability."

A reporter commented on freshman Kyla Westfall scoring with 10:35 left in the second half. "She's gonna be a great addition," said Jennings.
