Serpent boys win first title since 1964 By Eric Dahlberg MCIN Staff LAS VEGAS — It took 53 years, but it was worth the wait. The Mineral County High boys basketball team captured its first state title since 1964 on Saturday night after beating Pahranagat Valley 63-46 in front of a raucous crowd at the Cox Pavilion on the campus of UNLV in Las Vegas. “It’s wonderful, I’m really happy for these guys,” said Min- eral County coach Pete Sum- merbell after the game. “I knew we had a shot at doing this when we started conference play, but to finish it off is just terrific.” The Serpents used a balanced scoring attack all night to keep the Panthers at bay in the cham- pionship game, and had three players in double figures. Se- nior Taylen Wachsmuth had his way with the Panthers, scoring a team high 20 points and pull- ing down 13 rebounds. Andre Davis and Robert McFalls each finished with 17 points, and Tony Dominguez made some key plays down the stretch and scored eight points in the pro- cess. The game was tight in the opening minutes until McFalls and Davis connected on back to back three’s to put Mineral Jeff Scheid photos/Battle Born Media County up 12-6.

  • 2013 Report of Political Financial Support
    2 As a biopharmaceutical company that treats serious diseases, Lilly plays an important role in public health and its related policy debates. It is important that our company shapes global public policy debates on issues specific to the people we serve and to our other key stakeholders including shareholders and employees. Our engagement in the political arena helps address the most pressing issues related to ensuring that patients have access to needed medications—leading to improved patient outcomes. Through public policy engagement, we provide a way for all of our locations globally to shape the public policy environment in a manner that supports access to innovative medicines. We engage on issues specific to local business environments (corporate tax, for example). Based on our company’s strategy and the most recent trends in the policy environment, our company has decided to focus on three key areas: innovation, health care delivery, and pricing and reimbursement. More detailed information on key issues can be found in our 2012/13 Corporate Responsibility update. Through our policy research, development, and stakeholder dialogue activities, Lilly develops positions and advocates on these key issues. Government actions such as price controls, pharmaceutical manufacturer rebates, and access to Lilly medicines affect our ability to invest in innovation. Lilly has a comprehensive government relations operation to have a voice in the public policymaking process at the federal, state and local levels. Lilly is committed to participating in the political process as a responsible corporate citizen to help inform the U.S. debate over health care and pharmaceutical innovation. As a company that operates in a highly competitive and regulated industry, Lilly must participate in the political process to fulfill its fiduciary responsibility to its shareholders, and its overall responsibilities to its customers and its employees.
