Several Palisadians are helping to build the Marymount High water polo program. One of them, senior Drake Williams, has been a huge asset to the Sailors’ varsity squad. “Drake is one of the hardest working athletes to come through the program and has helped lead her team by example,” Coach Tianna Johnson said. In past years, Marymount has struggled to stay competitive in the Mission League, but the Sailors entered league play with a 4-0 record. Another Palisadian, freshman Taylor Bartholomew, is making waves as goalie on junior varsity, with 37 blocks so far this season. “Taylor has taken all of the coaches by surprise with how well she has picked up playing goalie,” Johnson said. “She is such a great role model for her teammates and leads by example. Even some of the varsity girls look up to her and admire how much she has learned in just a few months.”
