Show By MEL OSBORN The Beaver High School cagers had one final hurdle to complete last Saturday at 3:30 pan. at BYU for the State Basketball Champion ship and a near perfect season, but history Is extremely difficult to erase and the Beavers, as many other teams in the past 30 years, fell victims to the normal pattern set In basketball and that is the number one ranked team very seldom survives the rankings. The talented Blue and White machine won the Division n with a 10-- 0 record before going to the Region 12 Tournament in Kanab. The Beavers walked away with the gold trophy in that tournament with the state tournament following. White Horse was the first team to fall to the Beavers last WednesThen came a pesky day 77-4- 9.

Several expressed their support for water meters, and a few even volunteered to install them immediately if the city wiU establish an equitable water meter rate when they adopt new water rates which will probably be effective July 1. Raines told the group that Milford citizens use nearly six times the state average gallons of water per hookup. At the peak season, June, July and August this not only puts stress on the system, but could create a fire hazzard if the system were to break down. He presented a schedule that shows Milford used 41,731,000 gallons of water in July, the peak month, averaging out to 77,280 galAt this rate, a lons per hookup. breakdown on the system would leave the city with only about a day and a half supply of water, and would create a fire hazzard. He said the other pumps could be cut into the line, but not only are inefficient but would contaminate the system, couldnt be chlorinated and the whole system would have to be purged. Meters seem to be the only way to stop the waste of water. You'll pay for what you use. Now, under the flat rate, you pay for what others waste. Two or three were outspokenly opposed to water meters, and indicated they thought the new system and storage facilities should be adequate to produce all the water Milford could use. Raines said the costs of pumping to six times the needed water was expensive, and besides shortening the life of the water system, it also put an unnecessary burden on the sewer system. Youll be surprised how much water you really use." He said, 'There are many leaks and meters will help us to find them. Leaky faucets, connections and leaks in the citys system account for probably 20 to 40 percent of the water pumped. His schedule showed several proposed rate schedules, and what present usage would cost. However, the proposed schedule does not take into account the water used by the city to water lawns, parks, cemetery and the golf course. tie 4. -0- but how do you 49-3- . , state championship learns, one liasketball and track.

"Just one more game Just one more game, said Albrecht on many occasions. Yes, they were there the final night and they did everything they had done all year long except the ball wouldn't fall and that's basketball. Ask Kevin Barnes and his teammates of 1975. Ask Dugway last year when the Mustangs came in as the number one team and Parowan sent them into the consolation bracket the first day of the Tournament. Ask Panguitch Gunnison and Valley etc., etc. So the 1984 basketball season is history with Dugwayemergingasthe 6 champions with a victory over Beaver. The Beavers were obviously stunned but they accepted defeat as well as they have victory all season. The Coaches and players were gentlemen regardless of the results. As one fan so adequately summed up the season, I've tasted alot of delicious pies without the ice cream. Those 23 victories gave every Beaver fan and player a piece of the pie. Some of those victories were topped with ice cream such as the Division n and Region 12 Championship.
