Bears Swim to Victory as Competition Heats Up
November 5, 2009 • written by Kaylee Tornay
The Lady Bears of Water Polo are playing hotter than lava this season! In one week, they have faced a double threat: both the Corvallis Spartans, and our old rival, the Summit Storm. Corvallis had only five players, so their game was forfeited. Throughout the entire game, the score was at a tie, and the end of the game saw a final score of Bend: 5; Corvallis: 5. Halfway through the second Quarter, Corvallis’s #8 player was forced to retire from the game after receiving a blow to the eye during a particularly rough struggle for the ball. The number of players was then reduced to four on four. It was an eventful night.
However, it seems that every night can be topped by another. The game of October 20th was one to remember, although perhaps in not such a pleasant light. When one of the Summit players, whose name will not be disclosed, pulled a rather fierce blow to a Lava Bear girl, the Bend player then responded in an equally angry manner, upon which the Bend player was asked to leave the game. Later, another wrangle sparked between two other players. Bend finished with a victory of 12-5.
It’s obvious that as the tantalizing prospect of State draws nearer, the rivalries are getting hotter by the minute. The grand finale for this season is approaching, and now, every game counts!
