PAGE FOUR THE CLARION TORNADO WARNING! By Ronnie D. Smith SPORTS EDITOR The basketball season is drawing rapidly to a close. With only two games remaining, the season is almost over. Those last games, however, could be the most important of the year. The conference tournament, which will decide the team that is to represent the conference in the regionals and hope fully the nationals, looms ominously in the near fu ture. Wins in the last two games would insure a near- the-top seeding for Brevard in the tournament. This usually results in the two best teams battling in the final game. The remaining two games are against the two conference leaders Spartanburg and you guessed it, the big boys of Boiling Springs. Wins over these teams would not only give the Bre^vard Squad a be_^ ter tournament position, but more important it would boost their morale, an essential aspect in a basket- ball playoff. Basketball, like most_ sports, is unpredictable and the conference race this year has proven that. Seven teams make up the conference and either one of those seven could knock off either of the other six if everything clicked at the right time. Gardner- Webb, as has been proven, can be beaten. The other leading teams have turned in fine performances, but have also let items near the conference cellar upset them or give them a close call. One never knows. That’s what maks it interesting. That is basketball, as unpredictable as a female, and almost as mu:ch fun. Brevard will be out to get even with Spartan burg and to try for another big win over Gardner- Webb in two conference tilts next week. The squad will host Spartanburg Tuesday night and then Thursday will journey into the “Land of the Giants” for another crack at the conference leaders. Gardner - Webb will be the team’s last game before the conference tournament. Brevard defeated Gardner - Webb by 89-72 but lost to Spartanburg 93 - 83. Headen Hits 24 For Tornado Win A 24 . point performance by Greg Headen led Brevard to a 67 - 57 victory over the North GreenvUle Motmtaineers here Uonday night. The Tornadoes of Brevard took a lead early in the game and were never Iwhind as they rovenged an earlier defeat at the hands of the Mounties. Fouls and violations plagued the entire game with Dumerous tiirnovers from both teams. North Greenville’s scoring attack was led by Zwadii Bate man with 16.
