Girls Seek Third Titie Kings Mountain Junior High’s girts open their bid for the Western Junior IBgh Athletic Association title Monday when they host East McDoweU In a 4 p. m. game. Coaches Candy Alber- giae and Becky SUihmitt are working with ah Inex perienced team but the Lady Patriots have enough potential to bring the school a third straight conference crown. Only five players return from last year’s team, which was 9-8. They In clude third baseman Bridget Class, who Is starting for her third straight season, shortstop Diane Williams, second baseman Mary Ann White, who was last year’s most valuable player, and catcher Bam McClain. With the tour returnees In the inflel'd,. that wUl probably be the team’s strong point. Coaches Alberglne and Summit said their experience, defensive tsdents and hit ting ability will be a big key to the team’s success. ’Ihree girls are battling for the first base. Job, including Ginger Martin, Arme Tate and Pam Baity. Pitching will be In good hands with Lynn Wyte and lOm Moss. ’The biggest question martc appears to be toe outfield. ’The only returnee there Is Renee Cook. Leslie Hamrick, Dana Horne, Angela Bell, Hetdl Hogans, Sandy Horn, Sandy Hovls and Mickey James are battling for toe other spots. "Offensively, we don’t know what we have be cause we haven’t been out side enough,” said Alberglne. "We would like to be aggressive on toe bases and force our op ponents Into a lot of mistakes.” One thing working In KM’S favor Is that the first tour games and six of toe first seven are at home.
