Page 3 O ♦J HERALD SPORTS By GARY STEWART Invitational Notes Notes and comments on the Kings Mountain Invita tional Basketball Tournament, coming up this weekend at Kings Mountain Community Center: Imagine how powerful a team you'd have if you could choose an all-star team from the four clubs participating in the KM Invitational. From all four teams combined the top ofiensive performers from last year are Gardner- Webb’s George Adams (27.8 scoring average), Elon’s Tom my Colo (23.2), St. Augustine’s Curtis Pritchett (20.9), B.trber-ScoL'ia’s John Steele (19.5) and Gardner-Webb’s Henry Boyd (18.6). . . Elon’s 6-9 junior center, Larry Trautwein, appears to be the deadliest shot in the tournament. The All-Carolinas Conference standout led the Carolinas Conference in field goal accuracy last year, hitting 60 percent of his shots. No oLhei player in the touiiiaiiieiH can niateh that mark, but St. Augustine’s Pritchett can come close. He hit 59 percent of his field goal efforts. . . As far as accuracy goes this year, however, no player • can compare with Gardner-Webb’s Adams, a Kings Moun tain High product. Adams is averaging 36 points per game and is hitting close to 70 pie-cent of his field goals. G-W Coach Eddie Holbrook says ine All-American is off to his best start ever. . . I ans attending the tournament are likely to recognize several of the participants. No less than si.x players played their high school 'oaskctball in this area. Gardner-Webb has Adams, Don Elliott of Dallas and A1 Graves of Oherry- ville, St. Augustine has Farley McGill of Gastonia and Barber-Scotia has Larry Garvin and Eidc Bynum of Gas tonia. . . One of the familiar faces in the crowd Friday night during the opening round will bo former Kings Mountain High coach Bobby Hussey. Hus.sey, now head coach at Belmont Abbey College, says he’ll bo on hand to scout Elon, which plays the Abbey twice this season. . . Trophies which will be presented following Saturday’s championship game are on display in the window of Wil lie’s Jewelry. Trophies will be presented to the champion- vhip (onm riinnnr-iip most va'nahle nlaver and fivo mem- ber.s of the all-tournament team. . .

EDDIE HOLBROOK Mountaineers Lose Opener To Ba 25-55 Kings Mountain High School opened its 1971-72 basketaall campaign here Tuesday night, splilting a twinhill with Besse mer City of the Little Five Con ference. The KM girls won tlieir contest 38-27, but the Mountaineers were blown off the court, 75-55. Kings Mountain’s boys never led in losing their tliird straight game to the Ycll,.'.v Jac'Kets. EC won both contests over their 3-A foes last year. 'Reggie Wideman, a senior shai'pi;'h..otcr, led Coach .4ce Par ker’s club with 30 points and Lai ry Camp, a junior, added 16. Si-n- ior Thco .Fmilih, a lanky 6-1 standout scored only eight points but controlled both backboards. re:some.' City rushed to a 17-7 lead after the first period but K.M outscored the Yellow Jackets 20- Adams - Pritchett Battle Will Be Opening Night Highlight trailed by only 30-27 at inleimis- Local fans who have never seen Elon’s Tommy Cole sicn. • Mitchem Oreckett Cornwell perform are in for a real treat. The All-American guard i.s one of the finest outside shots anywhere and his coach, Bill M Her, tags him as a definite pro prospect. . . At least four players participating here are already being eyed by the pros. They are Adam.s, Cole, Pritchett, and Boyd. Gardner-Webb will have the only two seven- footers here, Boyd and freshman Ken Long. . . If there are those of you who think Gardner-Webb will lie up the creek when Adams graduates, you’re in for a surprise. Coach Holbrook has an outstanding group of freshmen recruits and one frosh, 6-9 Kirby Thurston of Florida, could very well be the next Adams. . . All-Americans Cole and Adams, along with ABA draft Ipick Pritchett will probably occupy the spotlight this Fwoekend but let's not fail to recognize four outstanding coaches who have agreed to bring their fine clubs here. G-W’s Holbrook, Elon’s Miller and St. Augustine’s Harvey Ifoartley have coach of the year awards galore to back them up and Barber Scotia’s A1 Coefield is certainly on H at halftime, the way to makinj a name for himself. He coached the Sabres to a 13-4 record last year and handed Gardner- Webb one of its four defeats. . . Although it would be hard to m.ake him admit it, G-W Coach Flolbrook might have his best team ever this year. 1'he Bulldogs, ranked fifth in the nation, have ran rough shod over their fi'-st three foes. Holbrook says he won’t ho happy with this season unless the Bulldogs win the District 26 championship and play in the national tourna ment. . . Gardner-Webb’s Tony Spagnola, who looks somewhat like Broadway Joe Namath, is undoubtedly one of the most underrated basketball players in the state. Spagnola doesn’t get too much publicity and he might not score a lot of points, but he’s always making the key plays that win basketball games. . . Elon’s Miller, a former standout basketball player at the University of North Carolina, is the onlv one of the K. Mtn. four head coaches who played professional basketball. Lovelace .Miller’s in his 12th sea.son as head coach of the Fighting Christians and has a 207-131 record. Miller’s assistant coach, Tony Radovich, who is in his second year at Elon, played on North Carolina’s undefeated national champion ship team in 1937. . . In Friday night’s opening games, look for a di.sciplin- ed offense from Elon and run-and-shoot tactics from Bar ber-Scotia, Gardner-Webb and St. Augustine. Elon doesn’t freeze the ba'I but the Fighting Christians don’t take fool ish shots, either. . . St. Augustine Coach Heartley is the older brother of k former N. Cl. State guard A1 Heartley. Coach Heartley, in Jhis first year at the St. Augustine helm, won no less than 10 championships ns a high school coach and' he’s hoping his success will rub off on the Mighty Falcon.s. . . Tournament direciors urge fans entering the commun ity center Friday and Saturday to enter into the gym, rather than the downstairs doors. Fans who have advanc ed tickets will enter a separate door and wdll not have to stand in line. . . iiwMi® ^ cfmn youpal/ey... Culbertson.
