Danny Orona is a 5 foot 6 inch, 160 pound driver from Los Amigos High School who starts on the men's water polo team. “Last year, he really didn't get much playing time but he kept working in practice every single day,” head coach Monty McCord said. "He makes things happen when he's in there. He's a great defensive player (and) he's willing to do a lot of the dirty work not everyone is willing to do." See how he answered the questions.

Ruby Rojas is twitting about her busy summer

By Tony Lee On Sunday, July 12, 2009
Some take the summer to relax and some are busy as ever.

OCC's head softball coach Ruby Rojas is the latter and is sharing her summer activities via Twitter.

So far from Rojas' tweets on twitter.com/rrojas8, she went back to Venezuela to practice with the international team, is actively involved in the BACKSOFTBALL campaign and played in the Canada Cup with multiple injuries (her team finished third in the tournament).


According to canadacup.com
, Rojas batted cleanup and played left field for the majority of the tournament. Her best offensive game was on July 6 against Austraila, where she went 2-for-3 with a walk, two doubles and two RBIs.

I also found out from her tweets that she likes to watch BET, been playing with a dirty uniform, loves to cook and saw Transformers 2 and loved it.

And she still has a busy summer left. From her Twitter, Rojas said "3rd place @ Canada Cup. Not bad & way to not give up teammates! Next destination....Chicago to play against Chicago Bandits!"

Yes, I now have a stalker-esk knowledge of our softball coach from reading a couple of her tweets, but I think it's cool to get to know a coach this way.

It's always cool to know that our coaches, teachers, star athletes and students are just like everyone else.
I hope more coaches will be active Twitters like Rojas in the future.

Anyways, I hope your summer just keeps on getting better Ruby and keep giving us Twitter updates.

After all, I am a nosy journalist who wants to know everything.
