Woolley credits the new attitude at-titude to a higher level of commitment commit-ment in three general areas: skill development, fitness, and understanding under-standing and playing the game tactically well. "The players are enjoying the game now," Woolley commented. "I'm excited for them...they're extremely dedicated." dedi-cated." The Bruins held a 2-1 record before yesterday's game, 1-1 in region play, after suffering a region-opening loss to Hillcrest 4-3. 4-3. After the Hillcrest loss, however, how-ever, the Bruin 8 turned around and crushed a highly physical Bingham team 4-1. "We're a second-half team," Woolley stated after Mountain View broke away from a 1-1 half-time half-time tie with two quick goals from Loftin Graham and Ben Cahoon, then another from Jeremy Rowley to take complete control. Cahoon had to make a big switch from basketball to soccer, but is doing a good job as a forward, for-ward, and leading Bruin scoring with five of the total 10 goals this season. Mountain View likes to play a one-touch game to move the ball quickly and make the game fun to watch. Some particular players who have progressed well, and strengthen the Bruin forces include in-clude senior standout Greg Jol-ley, Jol-ley, and team co-captain along with Jolley, John Lovell. "Jolley's dribbling is exciting to watch," Woolley noted, "and he's working knowing when to beat the player, and when to pass the ball." Jolley is also the player on the team who can score from 40 yards out. He booted a 30-yard goal in Mountain View's 3-0 GYMNASTECS Gymnastics balances low budget with dedication and talent Gymnastics is a sport that is struggling at the high school level, a victim of low budgets and time constraints. "We don't have a full team," explained Mountain View coach Lori Bowser, "and it is a challenge to get the kid ready in the short season." Despite the challenges, the Mountain View team has done well with the season about halfway half-way gone. "Our compulsory team beat Alta in the first meet," she noted, but since the Bruins don't have a full team, the total scores don't show as well. "We've moved some of the better bet-ter gymnasts up to optionals," she said, "and our compulsory team is good." The anchor that holds the team together is the skill of individual in-dividual players.

Hooper is credited with four assists out of 10 Bruin goals.

Orem got off to a strong start with preseason wins against two top 3A teams, Provo and Timpview, then a 3-0 shutout in the Region Two opening game against Bingham. "1 was pleased that we didn't give Bingham one shot," Fitzgarrald noted. The Miners were squelched by the Tiger defense and couldn't get one shot on goal the whole game. A poor game with Alta handed the Tigers their first loss in a 3-0 shutout, Orem's worst loss in about five years. "We turned the ball over continually," Fitzgarrald Fitzgar-rald explained. "We hope to do much better than that, and be quicker to the ball." Orem's defense had little trouble stealing the ball away from the Hawks, but turned it back over with inaccurate passing. pass-ing. "We're capable of playing very well together," he noted, "we have some good quickness and speed." Some standouts on Orem's team include seniors Tom Skousen and Aaron Inouye.
