by Allison Roth QC Sports Co-Editor

Senior water polo player Jeff ^^^^0^^ Padgett initially jokes about what . <*• » - his commitment to his sport has meant over the years. "I've had a Speedo tan line for eight years," Padgett said. "It hasn't gone away, not even in the winter. It kind of fades a little bit, but come spring time its back in full force." When prodded further to describe his love for the game, Padgett smiled and bared the truth. "No, but seriously, there's nothing better than scoring a goal," Padgett said. "I love scoring goals." Playing water polo has been an eight-year love affair for Padgett, who grew up here in Whittier and began playing in high school after a PHOTOS BY TRACY MAPLE / QC SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHER friend introduced him to the sport.
