,/ kursday, June 4, 1970 THE KM^S MOUHTAM HCftAM), KINGS MOUNTAIN. N. C. HERALD SPORTS After Losing Three, Juniors Host Hickory Dana Saivis In Third Year As ' Golfer, Already In low Seventies ; For a young man who has been playing the sport only three years, Dana Sarvis Is taking great strides in the game of golf. The Kings’Moutain High junior recently finished fifth in the 89-man Western North Carolina High Schools Act- » ivities Association championships at Cowan’s Ford Country ^ Club and he’s already averaging in the low seventies. ,;L Dana shot an 85-76—161 in the association finals and ■^tJOi/ihat represented his highest score of the 1970 season. HiS I low was an even par 36 in a nine-hole match against Lin- I colnton at Kings Mountain Country Club. Ironically, in the same match that Sarvis fired his par round, Lincolnton’s Steve Suttle scored a hole-ln-one. Sarvis was medalistin evey match but one for the ( Mountaineers and it was no surprse when he was named the I most valuable golfer at the annual KMHS spring sports ; banquet last Friday. Sarvis plays only golf at KMHS, but he’s also an out standing ba.seball player. He pitched the Kings Mountain Babe Ruth All-Stars to the state championship last year. Dana came up through the little league ranks, playing for Max Bolin’s Optimist Club team. He was a member of the all-star team and was an all-star two straight years in pony league play. t • • Fomei KM Cage Stai Mitchem Now Stalling Wth Phan Yams Ken Mitchem, who helped Kings Mountain High School turn out several outstanding basketball squads, is \ now doing his thing with the Pharr Yarns Reds softball V team. I Ken, a rising sophomore at Pan American University where he averaged 16 points per game in basketball, is a rising young star in the .softball field as evidenced by his showing in the Azalea Tournament In Virginia Beach, Va., last weekend. Ken lashed out 17 hits in 24 times at bat, a .707 aver- ♦ . age. and copped the tournament's home run trophy as the , iif|L Jleds won the tournament over Canton, Ohio. Mitchem cracked seven home runs and hit one over 350 feet. Mitchem, who played high school and legion baseball here, had never played against slowpitch softball until three weeks ago when he joined the Reds in their own Dixie Classic Tournament. Ken, said Reds Coach Doug McDonald, is now ghttltig the hang of the sport and McDonald predicts big things for the 6-2, 200-poundcr in years to come. At Virginia Beach, the Reds came back from the loser’s bracket to win the double-elimination tournament. After losing to Canton, Ohio, 21-10, in the quarter-finals, the Reds whipped Empire County Sports of New York in the semi-finals, then whipped Canton twice in the finals. ^ Butch Adams of Pharr Yarns was named the tourna- irtent’s most valuable player. He hit .777 for the tourna ment with five home runs. Seven Reds players, including Mitchem, Adams and Hunter Huss High basketball coach ed Mac Richardson, were named to the 15-man all- tour nament team. Florida State, Minus Gold, Wins District Three Title In Gastonia Florida State’s Seminoles, long a power in college baseball, captured three straight victiries to win the NCAA District Three baseball tournament last weekend in Gas tonia. The Seminoles, coached by former Wake Forest men tor Jack Stallings, defeated East Carolina 2-0, Maryland 10-1 and Mi.ssissippi State .5-4 to cop their fifth District t Nfhree event and advance to the College World Series Kvhich begins on June 12 in Omaha, Neb. Florida State w’as left out of the District Three field last year when Kings Mountain’s Richard Gold led the Sem- moles in most hitting and fielding departments. Gold, a fkst-team All-American, set nine all-time records at FSU He graduated last year. The Seminoles had appeared in Gastonia the previous Seminoles in hitting in the 1968 event, hitting .475. Coach Stallings and his charges might have been mif fed over t he selection committee’s choice of Virginia Tech last year, for they walked off with this yeaPs event This was one of a few times that a team has' gone undefeated en route to the title. Good pitching, hitting, defense and speed carried FSU to the title. Righthander Gene Ammann hurled a two-hltteh on opening day to whip East Carolina and its ace right hander Ron Hastings and the Semlholcs stole a record eight bases in their championship victory over Mississippi State. Mississippi Slate battled through the loser’s bracket after dropping a .3-2 opening day tilt to Maryland.
