If he didn’t, he would not have ac cepted the head basketball coach ing job at Kings Mountain High School. I Dixon, who coached the junior varsity team the past tw'o sea- • .son.s, takes over for Bob Hussey,! who compiled a three-year record 1 of 65 wins and only seven defeats j before returning to Appalachian j State to work on his master’s do-1 gree and coach freshman basket-! ball.

C. Clary, i»ecretar> of Uie Weftem N. C. AcUvltlfc* .As sociation. Tonlor llnehaicker John Grier, a 180-pounder, was named to the def(5nsive team. Coach iBill Bates, who wa.s third In coach-of-the-year ballot ing behind Shelby’s (ierald Allen and South Point’s Jim Bigger staff, expre.ssed disappointment over the fact that the Mountain- eeri were again “slighted” in the voting. Bates said he nominated only four players for All-Conference, the four w'hom the KM coache.s regarded as All-Conferenoo ma terial. Kings Mountain quarterback Geeper Howard was left off the .4.11-Conference list but finished third in balloting for player-of- the-jear. Shelby’s Marcus Mauney won the honor and Sautli Point's Crawford finished second. Though Howard was the only quarterback in the running foi player-of-the-year honors, the quarterback spot on the AlJ-Co.n- ference team went to S.hclby*s Tommy Hamrick. Shelby and South Point, who finished 1-2 in the conference race, dominated All-Star selec tions with eight and six players, respectively. There were 27 boys chosen to the team, thus, Shelby and South Point made up over half the squad. For the first time, the coarfios named oL^ensive and defensive teams. In the past, they had named a 22 man team, not desig nating whether the player wa.'? cho.'jen for offense or defense Another fact that disturbed many coaches and football fans was tile fact that several players were named All-Conference both offensively and defensively. End Gaylord BrAlley and half back Marcus Mauney of Shelby, and tackle Randy Walden and halfback Scott Crawtord of South Point were named to both teams OFFENSIVE TEAM f-i: ^ ; -T'^i m ^5*^ S’ ^ X m Jr ..

It is hoped he will be ready for Saturday’s clash wfth North Carolina. However, his backup man, Art BoseCtl, ru^ed for yards on 42 Cannes and scored three touch downs. 'He wab presented the game ball «in the dressing room. Not a bad days work for a substi tute. After ten games, Duke’s sta tistics look a little better than this time last ^season.
