Saturday Accident
ALL'S WELL.
Things are much calmer now than the last
time this group got together. Little Dorina
Anne Setterholm decided she was going to let
people know early that she was not going to
be ignored when she chose a Cedar Hill Vol-
unteer Fire Department ambulance to be born in
instead of a normas hospital delivery room,
Friday, November 28. Grashel, left, was driv-
ing the ambulance to a Dallas hospital when
fireman Wilson Knight, right, found out that
he was going to have to put his emergency
training to use. It was Knight's first delivery,
but he had expert assistance from Mrs. Huber-
nell Setterholm, center, the mother of four
other children. Dal Setterholm, Dorina's father,
center , admires his new daughter.

Longhorns Split In
Carroll Tournament
Cedar Hill's Long-
horns opened play in
the Carroll Tourna-
ment in Southlake
Thursday, December
4, with a 45-33 vict-
ory over Trinity
Valley.
Springtown came
back to top the Horns
56-47, in second round
play Friday in the cha-
mpionship bracket.
Coach Mike Hogan's
Horns were cold in the
shooting department,
but parlayed a good
defensive effort into
the victory against
Trinity Valley.
Mike Walling domin-
ated the defensive boa-
rds for Cedar Hill with
16 to key the Horn fast
break and the victory.
Scott Beavers tack-
ed on 12 more rebou-
nds for the locals.
Cedar Hill shot only
30 percent from the

cent at the charity line,
but salvaged the win.
Cedar Hill scoring
and rebounds were
Walling, five and 16;
Beavers, four and 12;
Dugan Taylor, eight
and two; Scott Chaffin,
two and none; Chuck
Chapman, none and
three; Joe Bailey,
three and two; Billy
Watkins, seven and
five; Paul Hawkins, two
and five; and Jon Dahl
five and four.

it was the second Horn
unit of Bailey, Tim
Knight, Dahl, Chaffin
and Hawkins who led
the way.
Knight played a top
game after coming in
off the bench.
Behind by as much
as 16 points in the fir-
st half, the second
unit brought the loc-
als to within eight, 28-
20, at halftime.
Cedar Hill fell be-
hind again in the sec-
ond half by almost 20,
but rallied to close the
gap to two points.
Three Horn turn-

six quick points and a
lead that was never
again challenged.
Cedar Hill handed
Springtown the ball 16
times on turnovers and
