Ethan Damato is the new coach of JSerra's varsity girls water polo team. La Jolla played at Junipero Serra Catholic High School, which goes by JSerra, in San Juan Capistrano Tues., Dec. 9.
The Lions were ranked 10th in California, 10th in the nation last year.
Q: Tell me a little about your team.
Damato: (Silence)
Q: Who are some leaders?
Damato: We have some pretty good senior leadership, with Kam McCord, Sloane Paulson, Maddy Weston, our goalie Sayre (sigh-eer) Duran. We also have some good youth. We'll play four or five freshmen today. Pretty balanced.
Q: Do you know anything about La Jolla?
Damato: I just know they're a good program. They have some quality players, I know from the club side of things. It's good to play an out-of-the-area team that's one of the better teams in their (CIF) section. Just excited for a quality game today.
Q: Do you guys schedule matches, like the boys teams played each other? Is it a regular thing?
Damato: This is my first year coaching at JSerra. They played them last year, so I looked at the schedule and emailed the coach. He said he could have a game with us. So, here we go.
