KM Tall—Understatement Of The Year
I’d like to pass on to you readers something I found
in the Lincoln Times-News last week.
Headlines on the sports page read “Kings Mountain
Wins Two.”
The writer, Gary Abernathy, started the story by say
ing: “The Lincolnton Wolfpacks opened their conference
season at home Friday and fell to a much larger Kings
Mountain.”
It went on to say that “both games were highlighted
by a number of fouls. It seemed as though the Wolves
were not able to take a deep breath without having a foul
called on them.”
Abernathy stated that Lincolnton’s statistician Danny
Ledbetter pointed out the fact that the Wolves and Kings
Mountain had the same number of field goals (17) but
Kings Mountain won by 14 points (52-38) on the strength
of free throws alone.
He then went into the details of the girls game and
then moved into the boys’ contest. His description of the
boys’ game, looked to me like something he wanted the
Lincolnton fans to believe rather than the exact facts.
It started: “To say that the Kings Mountain boys were
taller than the Wolves would be the understatement of
the year. One Mountie starter was six feet six, another
was six feet five, and another was six feet four. The tallest
Wolf is 6’2” Bill Cash. However, as easy as it would be to
say that height is all they have, they had more than any
foe seen so far. Still is is hard to believe that they could
have defeated the Wolves had they been shorter.”
You Ain't Seen Nothing, Yet
Ever heard the expression, “you ain’t seen nothing,
yet?” Or, “that ain’t the half of it?”
The write-up went on to tell about the first, second
and third quarters, all marred by fouls.
Then, the final period began: “In the fourth quarter
Ihe Mounties stretched their lead to 21 points. Then Paul
Lawing was fouled by a Kings Mountain player and had
to be helped off the court.”
Now, that’s what gets me.
For the first part, Lawing wasn’t fouled by a Kings
Mountain player because Lawing is the one who commit
ed the foul. Persons present ai the game know, but for you
fans who weren’t there, Lawing and KM’s Ken Mitchem
were both attempting toe atch a high Lincolnton pass.
Lawing, jumped over Mitchem’s back and hit the
floor, and pretty hard at that. That’s when he had to be
helped from the court. Mitchem 'came to the KM charity
line and sank the free throw.
Now, getting back to the understatement. If Kings
Mountain has three giants starting for them, I’d like to see
them. Senior forward Larry Burton is about 6’5”, and
George Adams is around 6’4”, But Mitchem is no more
than 6’1”, if that tall.
And, Abernathy didn’t mention the size of KM’s two
guards, 5’5” Nelson Connor and 5’8” Steve Spencer.
I could say that Abernathy’s a poor loser, but I won’t.
Everybody should be a poor loser. But, I will say that he’s
making up some poor excuses.
He did give Kings Mountain a little plug. He said that
the Mounties were tougher than any foe Lincolnton had
faced. And, I’ll give the Wolves a plug, when the two teams
played, Lincolnton was the best that Kings Mountain had
faced.
Kings Mountain’s not the best team in the state, not
by a long shot. The way I look at it, when you lose, that’s
yesterday. Start getting ready for the next game. If you
have to make up excusses, throw off on your own team,
not the one that beat you.
Abernathy’s statement, “It seemed as though the
Wolves were not able to breath without having a foul call
ed on them” puts into the minds of his readers that the of
ficials wei’e calling fouls only on the Wolves. Kings Moun
tain’s boys certainly didn’t say, “Come on man, foul me”,
and the officials weren’t calling any fouls that didn’t oc
cur. Several fouls weren’t called, but that’s normal. After
all, it’s pretty hard for two men to keep their eyss on 10
boys and call everything right.
And his statement, “Then Paul Lawing was fouled by
a Kings Mountain player and had to be helped off the
court” puts into the minds of his readers that the KM play
ers were purposely trying to hurt Lincolnton players. On
that particular play, though, it was Lawing doing the foul
ing.
No More Overtimes, Please
The 1967 basketball season is still young, but I’ve al
ready had to sit through two overtimes while following
Kings Mountain. There was one thing good about it,
though. Both times, the outcome was in KM’s favor.
The girls won a 34-24 victory over Lincolnton in an
overtime in the first conference game of the season and
then Coach Don Parker’s Mountaineers beat R-S Central
by three points in a triple-overtime Friday night.
It’s rough having to sit through those kind, though.
You have to give both teams a lot of credit, and you
also have to give a lot of credit to both coaches. Every boy
on each team played hard throughout the contest.
You’ll not see any two high school teams more evenly
matched.

The Mountaineers and R-S
Central both went into the game,
undefeated in Southwest Confe- '

R-S Central’s six-point lead (12-6)
at the end of the first period was
the biggest lead either team en
joyed.
Until junior center George A

time, the contest had been most
ly a battle between Adams and
big center Joe Hill of Central,

Both boys finished the game

were the backbones of their
team’s defensive unit.
R-S Central led the entire first
half. Hill put the Hilltoppers a
head, 2-0, at the 7:04 mark and
then a basket by Thomas Bur
nette with 6:15 remaining in

a Negro guard, tallied six points
in the first quarter, keeping the

outside shooting.

er with a second left to give the
Hilltoppers a 24-21 lead at half
time.

left. The two teams then played
neck and neck until the Hilltop
pers opened up a four-point lead,
45‘41, on a basket by Hill at the
2:56 mark. Kings Mountain
fought from behind to tie the
score at 45-all but Hill hit a
nother basket with 10 seconds
left to put the visitors ahead,

Mounties Host
Belmont Friday
Kings Mountain’s Mountain
eers will go after their 11th
Straight win at home Friday
night against Belmont while
Coach Bob Hussey s Mountain
ettes will he trying to end a
three-game losing streak.
The Mountaineers lead the
Southwest Conference boys divi
sion with a perfect 4-0 record
after winning a 62-58 decision
over Shelby Tuesday night.
Kings Mountain’s girls are 1-3
in conference play, heading into
the match with the Raiderettes,
who are 3-1. Belmont’s girls
swept a 22-16 victory over Lin
colnton Tuesday night.
Belmont's boys are winless in
conference p'ay, having lost
their fourth straight Tuesday at
Lincolnton, 54-50. The Raiders
are 3-7 overall.
Center Henry Robinson and
guard Tommy Tate have been
Belmont’s two big scorers so far.
They’re joined in the starting
lineup by Frank Elmore, Steve
Wilhelm and Grier.
Nancy Lowdermilk and Clay
Breeland have been the top scor
ers for the Belmont girls so far
while Nancy Breeland has been
a standout on defense.
The Kings Mountain boys will
probably go with the same
starting lineup. However, the
girls’ lineup will be changed
since Libby Tedder, a junior
guard, and senior forward Hilda
Lowery were both injured Tues
day against Shelby.
Tedder sustained a knee injury
during the first half, and had to
sit out the entire second half.
Lowery suffered an ankle injury.
Coach Bob Hussey said Wednes
day that neither girl would see
action Friday night.
Hussey said that sophomore
Nancy Reynolds will start Friday
in Lowery’s place, but said that
he’s not sure of a starter for
Tedder. The remainder of the
lineup will be Sharon Gold,
Kathy Plonk, Linda Childers, and j
Joy Roberts.
Gold still leads the conference
in scoring. To date, she has tal
lied 180 points and has an 18.0
scoring average. Her average has
dropped 4.2 points since her knee
injury three weeks ago.
Junior center George Adams
scored 26 points against Shelby
to up his season’s average to 18.4
points per game. He now has 184
points. Ken Mitchem is second
on the Mountaineer scoring list
with 112 points and an 11.2
average.
Kings Mountain travels to
Cherryville Tuesday night, and
the Mountaineers will probably
have their hands full with the
Ironmen. The Ironmen are 2-2
in conference play, 7-3 overall,1
and are fresh from a one-sided,
73-54, victory over Chase. Cherry-,
ville’s girls are 0-4 in the con
ference, losing to Chase, 29-26
Tuesday night.
Center Larry Giles, forward
Richard Hovis and guard Terry
Smith will be the big guns in
the Ironmen lineup. Smith is
fourth in scoring in the South
west Conference, while Giles and
Hovis, both 6’4”, are defensive
standouts.
Cherryville’s girls are led by
senior forwards Mary Beam and
Vickie Bumgarner, who are both
in the top ten in scoring in the

The Mountaineers drove down
court, Mitchem shot, and missed

ed, before Larry Burton tied the I
score at 57 a 11 as the horn sound
ed, ending the second overtime.
With Spencer and Adams sit-1
ting on the bench with five per
sonal fouls, it seemed douftful!
that the Mounties could win the
game, but the basket by Burton
apparently stole the Hilltoppers’
morale.
Burton hit a free throw with
1:42 left to put KM ahead 58-57
before Tommy Lane hit a field
goal to push the Hilltoppers back j
ahead- 59-58 with 52 seconds re
maining.
Then Connor sank two free
throws with 42 seconds remain
ing to put the Mounties back in
to the lead, 60-59. The little sen
ior guard then calmly sank two
more with 22 seconds left to
make it 62-59.
Hill attempted a field goal with
11 seconds left, and missed, but
drew a foul from Morgan. He
missed the free throw, though,
and Mitchem snatched the re
bound and held on tio the ball
until the horn sounded.
For the game, R-S Central hit
on 40 percent of its field goals
with 24 of 60 of their field goals
with 24 of 60 and 48 percent of

Kings Mountain led throughout
