The 37-33 loss at Shelby put Kings Mountain all alone in the cellar of the Southwest Confer ence cage standings with an 0-5 conference mark. The win mark ed the first for Shelby in con ference play. ‘We had the lead with less than a minute to go and even had the ball on our side of the court,” Hussey said, "“but we had a traveling violation called and the ball was turned “over to them,” he added. “They scored and then we foul ed and they scored again,” Coach Hussey continued. “We didn’t get good play out oT our guards”, he added “The girls got panicky there at the last and played just like sopho mores. We could have won it as easily as we lost it,” l^e stated; “All year we’ve been playing with ,pne senior, one freshman and four sophomores. If the girls continue to improve, we might win a couple of games before the end of the season,” Hussey add ed. ■> “This Childers girl (Linda, a freshman) has come along a lot lately, and if she can get to hit ting in double figures we’ll do better,” he added. The only senior member of the club is playmaker Susan Lowery and the four starting sophomores are Sharon Gold, Kathy Plonk. Libby Tedder and Joy Robiu ts. Cbilders is the only freshman member of the team and all of Coach Hussey’s substitutes are sdpha.mores. ^ j , With the excepfldnrdf ; uTeddor rovers. Gold roves all of the time and Plonk, Loweiy and ' Childers take time about playing both ends. The girls have been improving dui'lng the last couple of games, and came , w'ithin the skin of their teeth of knocking off con ference co-leader Clierryville Fri day night. That was another one of those games which could have .gone either way. It was just hard luck to KM that it werfrCherryville’s way. The Mountainettes were trail ing by the final score of 39-38 with ;0.) left when a jump ball was called on Kings Mountain crid'of the court.

S. The big senior forward, who has been a starter every vear since he’s been at Davidsotr and who was a membei of the" All-Southern Conference, first-teamyear, not only scores Jiigh in every game, he also holds the man he is guarding to under bis average and brings dowm around 15 rebounds per contest. Snyder is a sure-bet for All-America honors. Three other players from North Carolina schools. Jack Marin and Bob Verga of Duke and Bob Lewis of UNC, are capable of being All-America players but it s not like ly that over one of them will be named.

All of the Lady Ironmen agreed that Kings Mountain gave them more trouble than any other team they’ve played this season. aldinc Beck also hit double fig ures for the winners with 10 markers. Kings Mountain’s boys could n’t do anything with the hot- shooting Ironmen in the night cap and lost by a 71.56 margin. Tite Mountaineers played the ; Ironmen a close first half, going into the third period trailing by , J scoring avera.^e with 14S points in nine games and is a cinch for all-cosiference honors at the sea- .son’s end. Just about all of the girls on the starting team, and some of the sut)stitues', are capable of be ing .good players but, because of lack of e.xperience, they don’t know what to do when the going gets rou-,-!!. Maybe the girlS’need just a lit tle more experience. It might ake them another year, or two yoars, to get to where they can elax and play heads up ball througliout the game. “Tliey t ry,” said Hussey. They’r.e giving it all that they lave and I think they’ll win a few games. When those six girls who make up the freshman team join the varsity, they’ll do all right,” he added. l|lu^soy pointed out the fact Rat (he freshman girls are tali ind the varsity girls are lacking height as well as experience. iVith some developing and exper- enco, they’ll make good basket ball players. The varsity girls will have* an other chance to make good Fri day night when the local teams ravel to Lincolnton for a double header. Lincolnton’s girls have won inly one conference game and Oach Ilu.-isey is hoping that his Mountainettes will not get pan- cky .and win their first gai.me.
