Danny Orona is a 5 foot 6 inch, 160 pound driver from Los Amigos High School and is one of the starters on the OCC 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."
The Pirates first home game is on Oct. 21 against Fullerton College at 4 p.m.
What's your biggest pet peeve and why?
I hate when people leave early when we do our swim sets (in practice). They're pretty tough sometimes and people leave like five seconds ahead.
LeBron or Kobe - and why?
I'd probably go with Kobe because LeBron had the whole incident with the kid that dunked on him and he wanted to erase the tapes. I just thought that it was lame.
Which women's sport at OCC do you think has the hottest girls and why?
Volleyball. The way they look in those spandex shorts.
Do you have any superstitions?
Everytime I leave my house, I do the cross. I've been doing this since as long as I can remember?
If you were a rapper, what would be your name?
Well my nickname is Lil Cabron. The guys on my team gave it to me.
What's been your best experience at OCC?
Probably playing water polo. I like playing because the guys are fun, it's a tough sport and I'm not the biggest guy so it's challenging. I like the atmosphere.
