Figures on SJC Game The statistics for the Mars- Hill - Spartanburg game played here at Mars Hill are listed be low. The game, which the Lions won 97-52, was played on the night the paper went to press, so only a minimum of de tail was included in the last edi tion. Mars Hill Whips A B $2-66 Id Game Here The Lions sought revenge, and secured it, as they solidly trounced the Bulldogs of Asheville-Bilt- more, 82-66, on the MHC court. The Lions led the Bulldogs throughout the game and con tinually poured in points to widen the margin. Consistentcy at the foul line played a major part in this conference win for the Lions. Four men finished in double figures for Mars Hill, as the scor ing was very evenly distributed. Scott Conner led with fourteen points, all of which he collected in the first half, as Coach Wood cleaned his bench in the second half to give his reserves valuable experience. Bob Holsten had 13 points, Mackie McLendon 12, and David Jacob Hughes 10. Phil McKinney and Jerry Yelverton paced Asheville-Biltmore with and 18 points respectively Kinney and Mars Hill’s Conner, two of the smallest and flashiest guards in the conference, waged a personal duel for ball handling honors throughout the game. 20 Mc- Scott Mars Hill Young 17 Holsten 10 Hughes 8 Martin 4 Conner 15 Hargett 7 DeHart Hinton 10 McLendon .. 4 Kates 13 Davis 4 Perkins 1 97 S.

The Lions seem ingly were unable to find the range and fell behind early in the game. Wingate hit consistently from the floor and were never threatened by the Lions to any great degree. At the top of the Mars Hill scoring column were Scott Cionner and Joe Martin with 13 points each. All of Coner’s points came in the second half. Martin performed will on the boards for the Lions in a losing cause. 6’7” center Cliff Gibson with 16 points, Ronald Craig with 15, Jerry Davis with 14, and Robert Weir with 10 scored well for Wingate, as they widened their lead in the second half. Mars Hill trailed by 14 points at halftime, 40-26. Lions Trounce Spartanburg There 87-83, As Martin Connects For ^28 MHC downed Spartanburg, 87-83, for the second time this year, and closed out the road trip with one win against one loss. The game was^ close and spirited all the way. Pressure was constantly on the Lions, as they commanded the lead, but, due to some ac curate shooting near the end, they were able to hold their four point lead when the final buzzer sounded to end the contest. Ac curacy from the foul line, shown clearly by the 21-25 free-shot totals racked up by the Lions, proved to be a deciding factor and attested to the ability of the Lions to hit in the clutch. Big Joe Martin turned in the =============================, highest individual scoring total for the Mars Hill team this sea son, as he led the offense with 28 points. Martin hit in close with jump shots to amass his 28. The Lions were determined to come home victorious, and the determination paid off in a win. Bob Holsten figured in the potent scoring attack of the Lions with 14 markers, as did Scott Conner with 11, and Mackie McLendon with 10. Bud dy Broome 6’3” center of the Pio neers was high man for the night with 34 points. Other Spartan burg players in double figures were Wayne Thompson, Donnie Greene, and Eddie Grasso. Hol stein’s 14 points and Conner’s 11 came in the second half, when the Lions came from behind, after trailing 41-37 at the half. This game marked the first starting appearance of 6’I” Blake Davis, former Enka High School player.

The Bulldogs led all the way, with the Lions never able to generate a successful offensive. At half time the Lions were trailing by a 53-36 count, and it was obvious that it was just one of those nights when nobody is hitting and noth ing breaks right. Mars Hill fought back, but was never able to close the gap in the second half. Indicative of the inability of the Lions to score were the totals of the top three scorers of the night, as each barely broke double figures. Heading the Lions were forwards Bill Young and Bob Holsten with 11 points each, followed closely by g;uard Scott Conner with 10 tallies. Bull dog forward Jerry Beane captured scoring honors for the night, as he bucketed 29 points.
