*MVHS vs. OHS*

VS.

Why is it that for the past few years the "Battle for the Paddle" has seem to be such an unfair meet for Mountain View? Orem seems to take the Paddle so easily and it is really ticking us Bruins off. So I sat down and thought about the reasons as to why Orem beats us so brutally. the conclustions i came up with is that they have Dan as a coach. Our coach Missy is great, really hard and pushes us a lot, so it's not that Dan is a better cach than Missy but it's that he has been there forever. Lattely Mountain View has had a different cach each year, we just couldn't seem to find a steady caoch. So Dan has years of experience with the Orem team, he knows stratagies and how to deal with high schoolers. But now we have a chance because Missy is going to stick around for a while.

Another reason as to why Orem has beaten use so hard for the past few years is due to a simple fact, their bigger. They have way more swimmers than we do and the hurts us even more than we can take. I don't know if the swim team is more public there, or more advertised and Orem than it is a Mountain View. But boy they sure do have a lot more swimmers than us. So when they have twice as many swimmers in each event they are sure to place and get more points.
