| { i i f i aS 0 & ¥ KM Boys Defeat Clover Kings Mountain’s Moun- taineers came from behind in the second half to edge Clover, S.C., 71-67 Friday night for their third straight pon-conference victory. The visiting Blue Eagles jumped out front early behind the downtown gunning of star senior Mannix Bailey, but the Kings Mountain defense took control in the third period to help the Moun- taineers of Coach Larry Sipe come from behind. Kings Mountain outscored its foe 20-6 in the third period to take a 54-45 lead. Still, Clover put up a strong fight until the end. The big difference in the game came at the foul line, where the Mountaineers hit 21-0f-27 shots to only 4-of-6 for Clover. At one stretch in the first half, the Mountaineers hit 12 in a row to keep the game close. Seniors Cliff Meeks and Brent Bagwell led the KM scoring with 18 points apiece, and Bagwell also pulled down 11 of KM’s 33 team rebounds, Jeff Ross added 13 points and James Roberts 12. Clover led 20-16 after the first quarter and 39-34 at in- termission before the Moun- taineers began their com- eback. Bailey scored a game-high 29 points and grabbed 12 re- bounds for the Eagles. Derek Watson added 12 points.
