Oakdale High’s senior center attacker on the varsity water polo team didn’t wait long to show opposing programs why his dominance in the middle of the pool is to be feared.
Neal Cadra was stellar in Oakdale’s first action of the season, and scored eight goals during a 24-7 dismantling of host Ripon on Sept. 7.
He made acrobatic scores from just beyond the net and kept Oakdale’s offense alive during a slow start.
Cadra should have no trouble making big scores all year as Oakdale plays through a challenging non-league schedule and competitive Valley Foothill Conference slate of contests.
