pe SECTIONAL CHAMP - Kings Mountain’s Vince Sullens won the 132-pound champion- ship in the Sectional Wrestling Tournament Saturday at West Mecklenburg High in Charlotte. Sullens and teammate Farris Turner will represent KMHS in the Regional Tournament Saturday at Kannapolis. Mountaineer Comeback Trips East In From Page 1-B acked into a 1-3-1 zone defense. East began orcing the action with 34 seconds remaining and Sherer got loose under the basket for a layup with 25 seconds left to put KM ahead 65-63. Ken Byrd of the Cavaliers hit a long jumper with four seconds remaining to tie the game and force a second three-minute over- time. East Rutherford’s Smith missed a layup at the 2:40 mark of the second OT and the Moun- taineers again elected to hold the ball outside rather than shoot over the East zone. With 20 seconds left, Curry was fouled but missed the front end of the one-and-one. Crocker missed a tip-in attempt but Sherer rebounded the shot and put it in with 14 seconds left to give KM a 67-651ead. Byrd again connected from downtown with three seconds left to tie it at 67-all and force the third extra period. The Cavaliers controlled the tip and elected to play run-and-gun and that suited the Moun- taineers. Sherer scored at the 2:37 mark to make it 69-67, then Curry stole the ball and went in for a layup to give the Mounties a 71-67 lead. East cut it to 71-69, but then Curry hit a pair of free throws at the 1:44 mark to make it 73-69, and Sherer scored off an assist from Curry with 1:05 to play to make it 75-69. The closest the Cavaliers could get after that was five points when Byrd hit a pair of free throws with 50 seconds: left to make it 76-71. Curry finished with 29 points to lead the Mountaineers. Crocker added 18 points and 18 rebounds and Jordan had 10 points. Smith scored 25 and Byrd 18 for the Cavaliers, who fell to 8-7 and into a tie with Burns for fourth place. “I have to give East a lot of credit,’ said a drained KMHS Coach Larry Sipe after the RRO WS ODN ia CERN ASE rs SRNR A Ved ME HOY RRR game. “They're going to be a factor in the tournaments.” East Rutherford outscored the Mounties from the floor, 32 field goals to 30, but KM 739-1711 739-5735 SWIMMING POOLS ~ BUY NOW BEFORE THE SUMMER RUSH!

But when they gained the momentum late in the fourth quarter, they seemed to make every pass and shot count. “I’ve never seen so many loose balls that we couldn’t getour handson,’ said Sipe of the first three quarters. “It was like the ball didn’t have any air in it. I guess it was just one of those nights. “But we didn’t quit and gave a good effort,” he went on. “We could have folded several times but didn’t. And things aren’t going to get an easier for us.” Epok Kings Mountain’s girls got a 35-point effort from Doreen Pettus in their attempt to knock off the fourth place East ladies, but a late comeback by the Lady Cavaliers spoiled the effort. The Mountainettes held an eight-point lead ‘with three minutes to play but the Lady Cavaliers hit some key free throws down the stretch to ice their ninth SWC win in 15 outings. Gina Elmore scored 21 points and Tonya Sanford 15 for East. Pettus had 11 rebounds to go with her 35 points for KMHS. Regina Brown added 10 rebounds and Evelyn Roberts had six assists.

PAUL CAMERON | WBTV Sports Director Mathematically Speaking, Duke’s No. 1 Kevin Madden should help UNC from the start next year. The 6-6 high school senior’s averaging 25.8 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists. A few days ago, he blocked 8 shots—including 4 by a 6-11 center. Some are comparing him to Michael Jordan...My vote for the Sullivan Award went to Mary Lou Retton, but Bill Johnson might be more deserving. No American had ever finished higher than fifth in Olympic Alpine skiing until Johnson won the gold at Sara- jevo. But Mary Lou’ll be named America’s top amateur athlete—as much for her smile as for her talents. w E Faas ost Duke’s the nation’s best team—mathematically speaking, that is.

When Furman’s Frank Selvy scored 100 points against Newberry in February of 1954 he took 70 shots—and hit 42 of them—a number from “down yonder’. A fluke? Maybe. But Frank scored 50 or more points in 8 different games and had a 41.7 scor- ing average his senior year...It’s a great week for televised basket ball: UNC at Maryland Wednesday, UNC at State and Georgia Tech at Virginia Saturday, and Maryland at Clemson Sunday—on WBTV and other stations.
