Patriot Coach Protests
Narrow Loss To Grandview
Kings Mountain Junior
High's basketballers split a
Western Conference twinbill
Saturday at Grandview, the
girls winning 55-18 and the
boys losing in overtime, 62-60.
It was the 13th victory
without a loss for the Lady
Patriots, who have already
clinched the conference title.
Diane Williams scored 18
points and Sheryl Goode 14 to
lead the KM effort. All of
Goode’s came in the first half.
Goode also had 11 rebounds
and Williams seven.
Coach Candy Albergine’s
ladies jumped out to a 20-3
lead in the first quarter and
after that it was a matter of
running the clock out.
“It was a team effort all the
way,” noted Albergine. “All of
the girls just played super
basetball.”
The girls were attempting to
close out their first un
defeated season ever
yesterday at East McDowell.
The jayvee girls lost their
10th decision in 13 outings
Saturday at home to Grand
view, 26-22.
Tammy Bolton and Angela
Bell scored eight points apiece
for Coach Becky Summitt’s
five and Bolton added a game-
high 12 rebowds.
Boys Coach Ken Napier was
expected to protest the results
of his game Monday af
ternoon.
According to Napier, 10
seconds of play was not ran off
the clock in the fourth period
when the Patriots were
helding a three-point lead and
that allowed Grandview to

catch up, send the game into
overtime and eventually win.
According to Napier, with 23
seconds left in the fourth
period, KM was on the foul
line with a one-and-one. The
Patriots missed, but got their
own rebound and went into a
freeze.
“We dribbled the ball
around at least 10 seconds,”
he noted, “but we looked up at
the clock and there were still
23 seconds showing. We
brought it to the referees’
attention and the timekeeper
admitted his mistake but the
official refused to take the
time off the clock.
“Even at that we were still
ahead,” he went on. “We shot
and missed, they came
downcourt and scored to cut it
to one. We were fouled in
tentionally, which I thought
should have been a two-shot
foul, but they just gave us one
and one. We hit the first,
missed the second, and there
were still 15 seconds on the
deck. They came downcourt
and scored with six seconds
left and tied the score at 56-all.
“We came back downcourt
and were called for travelling
with two seconds left. With one
second left, they had the ball
under our basket and had to go
the length of the ■^ourt. They
threw the ball to a man at
halfcourt, he shot and missed,
they rebounded and got
another shot off before the
buzzer sounded . .. all that in
just one second.”
The Patriots, Napier said,
played their best basketball of
the season. They hit 50 percent
from the floor, 70 percent from
the foul line and outrebounded
the taller Grandview team.
Junior High
KM Spring Sports Seasons
Are Just Around The Corner Crest Teams
Vvfl
With the winter sports
seasons winding to a close,
spring sports coaches at Kings
Mountain High School are
beginning to whip their teams
into shape for the 1978 South
western 3-A Conference
campaigns.
Although the ground hog
last week saw his shadow and
issued a call for six more
weeks of winter, KMHS tennis
coach Ed Guy and baseball
coach Barry Gibson issued a
call for practice to begin.
Both teams opened drills
yesterday and, weather
permitting, they’ll get into
high gear within the next two
weeks as they approach early .
March openers.
The tennis teams will be
working for several days on its
own as Coach Guy’s jayvee
boys basketball is still in
volved in conference play.
However, the basketball
season is scheduled to end this
week and Guy will again turn
to his first love.
Gibson’s pitchers and
catchers began working out
yesterday, and he has ten
tatively set Monday as the day
RAKKY GIBSON
for the infielders and out
fielders to join in. That date
could change, depending upon
the weather.
“If the weather allows us to
practice outside, the rest of
the team will join us next
week,” he said. “But if we
have to spend a lot of time in
the gym, we’ll probably wait a
little while on the infielders
and outfielders.”

At present, Fibson said, 29
persons have indicated they’ll
be out for the team. Most of
them played on last year’s
high school team, which
finished second in. the SWC,
and on the Ifryear-old Babe
Ruth team which won the
state title.
As practice begins, Gibson’s
biggest question mark is the
catcher position. Last year’s
All-Conference standout, Scott
Ellis, recently underwent
knee surgery and will
probably be three weeks late
reporting for practice. l.ast
year’s number two catcher,
Tim Whitaker, injured his
back last fall in an automobile
accident but Gibson’s hoping
it won't affect his baseball.
Another hopeful is Lyn Hayes,
who helped lead the junior
high team to the Foothills
Conference title last year.
The Mountaineers, who won
their last conference title in
1974, will be playing in a re
aligned Southwestern Con
ference which puts them in the
East Division along with
Shelby. South Point, East
Gaston and North Gaston. The
West Division includes Crest,
Bums, Chase, East Ruther
ford and R-S Central.
Each team will play the
other four teams in its division
twice and the non-division
teams once. All games will
count in the SWC standings.
Kings Mountain’s only non
conference games will be
against 4-A Hunter Huss and
Ashbrook.
The conference playoff
format will be the same, with
the number one team from
each division playing the
number two team in the other.
The tennis team will again
be one of the favored teams in
the SWC. Last year it enjoyed
its best season ever, claiming
the final Western N. C High
Schools Activities Association
title.
Coach Guy loses'two star
ters - Rick Deaton and Kevin
Moorehead but he returns
last year’s player of the year,
Tim Kiddle, plus John David
Reed. Kenny Boheler, Scott
Summitt and several others.

KM trailed most of the way
and came from to points down
in the fourth quarter to tie the
game at 44-aU and force the
overtime. Vince Roseboro hit
a 5n-fool desperation shot at
the regulation buzzer which
would have won the game then
but it was disallowed.
Carl Smith led the KM effort

added 12 and Hager six. JoJo
Ingram had six rebounds and
Hager five.
The Pats controlled the
overtime tip and froze the ball

Crest came back down, shot
and missed and Hager was
fouled on the rebound. He
converted and Ricky Proctor
grabbed a key rebound

“The gym was packed and the
crowd gave us a lot of sup
port.”
