A Tossup The Friday game is very much of a tossup. Springville has turned turn-ed in some excellent games this year, and at one time seemed headed for the title when they defeated de-feated Nephi in their first encounter, en-counter, but bucked up against some stiff opposition in Payson and took an unexpected licking. |
