Fall Sports Tout For Tucson With Local Proposals
Press Box highlights a busy Tucson sports scene this fall and winter with high school and semipro football, horse racing at Billito, boxing and wrestling every Tuesday, and dog racing on South Sixth Street. The state tax commission has not approved a dog track license until the plant is built, with materials sourced from a used Phoenix track. Proposals include a Sept 23 to Oct 22 license window and possible winter extensions if approved. The piece also notes Marvin Clemens’s semipro plans with potential games against nearby colleges, while the University of Arizona’s football outlook remains bleak. Cincinnati Reds scout Mickey Shader praises Tucson youth for their regional tourney effort and predicts a regional title and national final bid in Minneapolis, Aug 26. The writer commends the team for their behind-the-come-from-behind performances and urges community support.
