Brophy swimming is undefeated thus far this season, having competed in six dual meets and four invitational meets which they all won by a large margin.
Six-year Brophy swim coach Mr. Pat O’Neill coaches 48 students on the swim and dive team.
“We do have three of four Stars of the team but the fact that we are able to have the success we have is because every single one of these kids put in a tremendous amount of time and effort into swimming and diving, and we are talking thousands of hours.” Mr. O’Neill said.

“Oh well, whatever, never mind” is hardly the anthemic rallying cry that most people search for, but for children of the 90s, it was the perfect sentiment to match the indifferent shrugs of slackers across the alternative nation.
And when emitted from the raspy, garbled voice of one such as Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, it sounded downright exciting in 1991.

THE ROUNDUP
The acting crew seemed completely unfazed and focused amidst commotion: woodshop sounds in the back, the stage crew trying to get everything organized on the stage and actors rehearsing lines.
The stage seems like it is in a chaos.
But it’s not, said Ms. Dorothy Dunnion.

“Moneyball” – Starring: Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill
2.5
Let’s be upfront here – I don’t know a lot about baseball; that being said, I do know enough to say that “Moneyball” isn’t a good movie.
First on the list of setbacks is simply the fundamental premise of the movie. This is a sports movie (always a niche market) that isn’t even about sports – it’s about sports management.
