Tasco Sparks outlasts Mountain 5 View Hospital in contest 48-4- -- The final game of the opening round of action in B League basketball produced an exciting contest between Tasco Sparks and Mountain View Hospital. A big early lead by Tasco gave them just the edge they needed to take the game by three in spite of a points, determined effort by the doctors in the final minutes of play. Two of the smallest men on the floor, both playing for Tasco, were deciding factors in the game. J. C. Taylor led all scorers with 16; and Dave Samuelson scored five and contributed a lot of hustle. The game started out slow, neither team scoring for the first five minutes or so; then Samuelson came through with a layup and Taylor added two field goals from jumpers to give Tasco a lead with twelve minutes left to go in the half. The hospital clawed back to 4 within two points at with 48-4- six-poi- 5, nt 12-1- Taylor lifted Tasco back up to a lead on the strength of some good outside shooting. 2 with two Tasco led minutes left.

Coach J im Evans likes to start the season against the best competition he can schedule. Baseball backers voice opinions about new Santaquin School site One of the major concerns of people at the public hearing about placement of the new school, held last Wednesday evening, was whether the baseball program would be drastically disrupted by building the school on ballpark property. Renae Reed said she doubted whether Santaquin City could rebuild the baseball fields, as they would have to be if the school is built on the pony league property. "In Springville, the City put in the ballparks; here, the city can't afford to do it. Wa've had to rely on donated help." She was referring to the statement by School District Representative Omar Hanson that Springville City had cooper- ated with Springville J unior High in maintaining baseball parks. Janet Kelly pointed out that Santaquin has only one regulation-sized little league park, and to have three, as the school plan shows, would require building all three from scratch again. She also pointed out that the pony league park is currently the only d ball park in town. Mr. Hanson said the School District could commit itself to replacing the pony league park, but couldn't commit to helping rebuild the parks on City land. Hanson also replied, when asked whether the construction of the school at the site planned would interfere with the baseball season, that it would for one season. He said the school plans call for completion by the fall of 1983; and if the construction had to be halted during a baseball season, the building completion date would be delayed one year. Kim Wsst, who stated he was the Vice President of the Santaquin Baseball Association, said the baseball association was the chief contributor to the building of ballparks. He claimed the City did little to contribute to the full-size- program as it is now. He was concerned that the association would not be able to rebuild the parks. Councilman Walt Callaway reemphasized this point later when he spoke of how the existing ball parks had been built largely through the efforts of citizens like Jack Openshaw, Jack Olson, and Vern Callaway. He noted, however, that if the School District were to buy land to the west of the park, as it currently plans- - to do for the construction of a junior high in eight to ten years, then there would be plenty of green land and room to expand the present little league fields without impinging on the rodeo arena and the city shops to the south. "Vfe know we have to have three ball fields in three years," he said. Then he added that one answer might lie in the trade agreement between the School District and the City. He said that although the Parks and Recreation budget would not allow the City to redo the baseball parks, perhaps some money could be generated through the trade and earmarked specifically for rebuilding them. Omar Hanson agreed that the possibility for doing so is not out of the question. "It's possible to make a trade that would lead to developing the ball parks," he said. Another question was raised by Councilman Sherman Jones. He asked whether the possibility exists that school would be in session all year, leaving the ball parks and other park areas inaccessible. Superintendent J. Wayne Nelson answered that his studies indicated schools year-roun- d in Santaquin were not viable for at least 20 years because the size of the local high school and other schools were too small to make that program economically efficient.
