Show Page Two - The Pyramid - April 29, 1998, Lady Badgers split two games with UVSC, to battle with Ricks by Ken Beazer M- It was billed as the showdown of the week. Snow College and UVSC were respectively, second and third in the conference and set to do battle in e a series in Ephraim. When the smoke cleared Saturday afternoon, the two teams occupied their same spots in the SWAC, each winning two games. The split did virtually guarantee these same two teams will meet in the SWAC tournaments first round, unless the Lady Badgers can sweep four games from fifth ranked, Ricks College this weekend, at which point, Snow would win the title and host the regional playoff. If last weekend is any indication of how a rematch will go between UVSC and Snow, one can expect an intense, emotionally charged game. In game one, the Lady Badgers fought back from a 2 deficit to win, 7 in the bottom of the seventh. With the score tied in the seventh inning, Snow loaded the bases with one out on a pair of walks and a double by Gamer. Erica Hernandez stepped to the plate and was hit by a pitch, forcing Gamer in for the winning run. and a third innings pitched. Of- WA soccer team takes three games The toughest match of the week was against Mt. Vernon Academy. Mt. Vernon took advantage of a WA keeper error and put the ball in the net. Down to a weaker squad, WA then took charge and finally earned the equalizer on a Sam Petty strike on a nice cross from John EPHRAI- Merrill Ogden Timely Dreams My daughter had a dream the other night. She dreamt that she was going to get married. It was one of those frustration dreams where nothing seems to go right. I could discern from the way that she related the dream that it had been a significant event, as dreams go. The part that involved me was a little disturbing. It made me wonder how my kids view me as a father and where my priorities lie. She said that in the dream I had told her that I wouldnt be able to be at her marriage, because I had a business appointment. We had a chuckle over it. I assured her that I would clear my calendar and participate to the best of my ability on her wedding day. (I hope she gives me eight to 10 years to prepare.) The idea that I would miss my daughters wedding for an office appointment was a laughable prospect. But like I said, it made me wonder. My kids probably sometimes think of me as the guy who comes to the house, eats dinner, feeds the dog, asks everyone if they have their homework done, watches 20 minutes of TV sports and then heads out the door. Thats not exactly how it is everyday, but that might be the way kids see it. In our 1998 society, sometimes children have to schedule appointments with parents in order to get some time with them. One of the reasons that we live in Sanpete is, "This is a great place to raise a family." Our country living is under assault. Some people are pushing for us to be like the rest of the world, more speed, more overtime hours, more efficiency, more convenience, at any cost. (There are likely some people out there, however few, who would think it reasonable for me to miss my daughters wedding to their business convenience transaction.) I hope that we wont stand still and let the rest of the world force us to give up the traditional benefits of living in Sanpete. This area is a terrific place to raise kids. Lets not abdicate that positive aspect of life here by not finding time to be with our families. We continue to have a great quality of life here. Its a beautiful spring. We have had some awesome events in Sanpete lately. The visit of the Utah Symphony was a phenomenal cultural opportunity for us. Snows play "Tartuffe was very well done. There was an abundance of laughter and applause there Friday night. The annual International Food Festival at Snow is always a treat.
