At Uintah last Tuesday, they were defeated 17-1- 5, 15-- 7, 15-1- 1 defense. If you have a tough serve, you have a tough offense." By the end of the match, Trane would lead Lehi with seven kills while teammate Kylee Payne would contribute 12 digs and 12 assists to the Pioneer cause. The Pioneers charged ahead 8-By the time a block stopped a Payne-le- d rally, Lehi had constructed a 12-- 4 advantage. Park City fought back to 13-- but the Miner comeback was stopped abruptly by a stiff Lehi defense and the Pioneers cruised on to win the game. The second game opened with Kim Allan scoring a point for Lehi. The Pioneers turned that point into a foundation for an 8-- 0 lead. The Miners got on the scoreboard, but they couldn't steal the momentum from Lehi this time. With Trane and Schneider hammering away at Park City, the Pioneers won 15-- 3 in a matter of minutes. by the Uintah Utes. Lehi bounced back on Thursday to dig out a 15-15-win at home over the Park City Miners. In last Tuesday's action, Pioneer Coach Kalani Curtis said, "Our serving was off. We had 13 missed serves. We lost momentum because of them. It's always hard to get an offense going when your serving is off" But while the Pioneers' serving left much to be desired, Curtis said, "Our passing and hitting were good." She said that Callie Trane and Cynthia Schneider were Lehi's big hitters in the loss. In last Thursday's action, Curtis said, "Our using outside hitting hurt them (Park City). Our digging was great. Natalie Lewis' jump serves hurt them. Tough serves hindered their 3 9, Lehi girls Hunters advised about cooperative wildlife management units (CWMUs) ;;J , 2.

He said that because of the Hawks' inexperience with soccer, "We treated the game as a for Delta this practice Tuesday. We tried to work on things like our swiftness and possession."

Changes noted for upland game hunts this season Numerous changes have taken place for the upland game hunts this year, according to Dean L. Mitchell, DWR Upland Game Program Coordinator. Hunters pursuing upland game animals should be aware of these changes and should consult their 1997 Upland November (Nov. 1), as in years-- past. Chukar and Hungarian partridge areas open to hunting, and season lengths, have changed in Box Elder County. Some parts of Daggett and Uintah counties have been closed to sage grouse hunting-DaggeCounty has been closed tt Game Proclamation for more information. Mitchell reports on several significant changes: All grouse, partridge, rabbit and hare seasons opened on the third Saturday in September (Sept. 20), a change from past years to protect late hatched broods and provide them enough time to disperse from their family groups. Pheasant and quail seasons will open the first Saturday in to quail hunting. Pheasant season length in Utah County is seven days only, except on the Powell Slough and.
