|Mars Hill Downs Knoxville, 89-72
ville College The viaitors had
brought a perfect 5-0 record
into Mar* Hill gym.
Mars Hill waa in control
throughout moat of the Thurs
day night conteet, their last
home game until Jan. 17 when
they will boat Limestone Col
lege.
Captain Steve Dooiey had a
hot hand in the early going,
hitting for five quick baskets
in the first half to keep Mars
Hill in the lead.
When Dooiey cooled off mid
way through the opening half,
freshman Todd Blondin pick
ed up the slack, connecting for
six points and halting the
Bulldog attack with a pair of
midcourt steals.
The Lions threatened to put
the game away several times
in the first half, but Knoxville
continued to battle back. Mars
Hill held on to a 41-54 lead at
the half.
Coach Bob Ronai made
some adjustments in his
lineup as the second half
began. Joe White came in to
replace Russell Foster at
center after Foster picked up
a foul in the opening minute of
the half. White lost no time in
asserting himself on the court,
coming up with a steal, two re
bounds, and six quick points to
thwart the Knoxville com
eback bid.
The Bulldogs pulled within
two, 45-43, with 16:45 remain
ing. The Lions called time out
to regroup. When play resum
ed, baskets by White, Doolejr,
Hill another comfortable lea?
The Lions upped their lead
to 13 when Dooiey added a pair
of free throws with 11:19 re
maining, but once more Knox
ville rallied it back. The
Bulldogs posted four
unanswered field goals to pull
within four halfway through
the final half. Once again,
Ronai called time to lecture
his young squad.
Whatever he said in the
sideline huddle, it apparently
worked. Mars Hill took the
floor and once again asssumed
the command of the tempo of
the play.
Dooley's three point play
with eight minutes left put
Mars Hill up by five, 80-55
With ?: 10 remaining, he upped
the advantage to eight with
another two-and-two from the
charity line.
Jerry Brooks and Pressley
Boyd helped ice the win with
field goals in the closing
minutes. Boyd, a freshman
who has seen little playing
time in early season games,
scored six points in the second
half. He also picked up five
fouls and was the only Lion
confined to the bench. He foul
ed out with just seven seconds
left to play.
The Lions continue to look
for an effective floor combina
tion. Ronai used all ten
available players to defeat the
Bulldogs. Tim Huskey,
sidelined with an injury, look
ed on from the bench.
Ronai remains unimpressed
with his squads preformance.

the Lions' date with arch-rival
UNC-Aaheville.
Ronai critcized his team's
lack of consistency in Thurs
day night's win. "We haven't
been playing consistently. We
look good for a few minutes,
then everything falls apart."
Their coach admitted that
his team might need a day off.
The Lions have gone three
weeks without a break.
"Maybe they need to get away
for a day. We've been going
every day since the scrim
mage games began. I hope
they were looking ahead to
Monday night."
The young team's lack of ex
perience has cause Ronai
some concern. The coach
said, "Maybe I'm to hard on
them. They don't have much
experience and they're bound
to make mistakes. Brooks and
Dooley are our most ex
perienced men and neither of
them have a lot of experience
Brooks started 6 games last
year, so tonight was only his 13
start. Dooley was only a part
time starter last year. I keep
forgetting their so young."
Despite their lack of ex
perience, the Lions brought a
5-2 record and a four-game
winning streak into their Mon
day night showdown with
UNC-A.

McGill if Butler Aseodatw
would receive a separate con
sultant's fee for the Rollins
project. McGill replied that
the two projects were
separate and that a tee would
be paid for each.
Mrs Wild then asked the
engineer what his firm's fee
for the $1.3 million dollar pro
ject would be. Wild said, "I
think I deserve an answer.
People who voted for the bond
issue have a right to know how
much we're paying for
engineering."
McGill replied that the fee
was based on a set figure
determined by the size and
scope of the project. He said
he was not sure of an exact
figure, but that he had seen a
preliminary report which
stated that there was a fee of
$57,940 for technical services.
McGill declined to say if the
figure of $70,000 was
unrealistic. He said, "Unless
the scope of the project should
change, our fee would not
change."
McGill also reported on
repairs to a section of U.S. 213
which he supervised. He
reported that the project ran
some $20,000 over the pro
jected budget. He blamed the
overrun on a $20,000 transfer
of funds authorized by the
Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD)
and by additional paving
ordered by the state Depart
ment of Transportation.

Ml how the public
be assured that over
would not occur oo the
million project.
McGill replied that the
project had been a
experience and that
he and the town clerk
would maintain separate ac
counts on the project to pre
vent overruns.
Wild continued to question
the consultant until Marshall
Mayor Lawrence Ponder in
terjected, saying, "I don't ap
preciate this at all. This is an
attack on Gary McGill."
To which Wild replied,
"How much is this going to
cost? I Just want to know
where it goes to. As a private
citizen, I think I have a right to
ask. I'm not questioning your
honesty or integrity."
Ed Niles asked why the pro
ject would continue to run to
the landfill site. McGill
answered, "The line has to
continue on to the landfill or
the money has to be given
back." McGill explained that
the ARC guidelines for the
project specify that the line be
run to the landfill site. He add
ed, "There's still a lot of
potential up on that hill. I
think it's money well spent."
Referring to the landfill site,
Cynthia Niles asked McGill
when American Greeting
Card had decided not to go for
ward with their [dan to con
struct a card finishing plant on
the landfill site. McGill said
American Greeting hadnt an
ticipated site preparation
costs because they were un
familiar with the mountainous
terrain of Madison County. He
said the Kentucky site was
first discussed two months
ago. He denied reports that
the company had decided to
proceed in K*n ucky in
September, saying, "Thai
decision was made official a
few weeks ago."
McGill said that American
Greeting Card had spent about
9900,000 so far on the site.
Questioned about the
methane gas found on the site,
the engineer said, "It's very
manageable, very con
trollable. It's something
they'll have to take care of."
He said the gas present on
the site is not sufficient for
economic use as an energy
source.
Mayor Ponder reported that
the town's bill for security
lighting last month came to
$1,000 and said the town must
find ways to cut down on its
power bill. Betty Wild sug
gested that every other light
be shut off on a rotating basis.
No further action was taken on
the matter.
There was also discussion of
the downtown parking situa
tion. The town is losing money
on its parking lots while mer
chants claim they are hurt by
employees parking on Main
Street. The aldermen called
for more rigid enforcement of
the town's parking regula
tions. An ordinance limits
parking on Main Street to two
hours.
Delinquent water bills were
also discussed. Many town
residents are failing to pay
their bills on time. The council
will consider shutting off ser
vice to those oweing delin
quent accounts.
The meeting adjourned
after two and a half hours. The
next regularly scheduled
meeting of the board of
aldermen is scheduled for
Jan. 3.
