own worst enemy with penalties and just not executing when in dire need of doing so. The Hilltoppers will host Kings Mountain (6-2, 3-2), which they have beaten two straight years.

Snowmobiling on Priest Mountain In late May I never pictured myself carving a highmark on Priest Mountain. Priest Mountain is nestled on the east edge of the Grand Mesa National Forest. Deep sugary snow and feathery blue spruce trees cover the mountain and the area around.
