Gaston. Coach Barry Gibson’s charges still have an out side shot at the playoffs, but they have to win their remsdnlng games and hope someone else knocks off either Shelby or South Point. ’The Mountaineers, 6-4 In the SWC and 8-4 overall heading Into a game yesterday against Crest, are scheduled to close out their regular season Friday afternoon at East East Gaston, coached by former KMHS athlete Jerry Adams, appears to be playoff-botmd unless the Warriors completely fall i^art. ’Diey’re 7-2 with games remaining against Shelby, KM and North Gaston.

(Gaston, Lincoln, Cleveland and Rutherford Counties) Experienced 'k ^ ir Responsible ★ ★ ★ Hardworking VOTE for a legislator who is concerned about people and the “bread and butter” issues: ...the aging and our youth ...soaring costs of health care, utilities, insurance, government and crime ..industrial growth and economic diversification ...educational and vocational training A vote for Helen Rhyne Marvin is a vote for a Senator who will address these issues in the 1979 General Assembly as she did in 1977. “A Senator For All Citizens" (Paid Kor By Margaret Stewart, Treaaarerl ’No-Class’ Lions Win Tennis Titie j Shelby High’s tennis team won the South western 3-A Conference title Friday at the KMHS (k>urts, 6-3 over the Moun taineers, but at the same time the Lions lost any respect KM Coach Ed Guy and his players ever had for them. ’"ITiey’re a good team and beat us where It counted," commented Guy following the match, "but that’s the only good thing I can say about them.’’ The Lions had their station wagon parked be hind the fifth court and the Shelby team members who were not playing spent the entire afternoon flashing the head lights on and off each time KM’s number five singles player, John Reed, prepared to hit the baU. After Reed asked Shelby Coach Art Moss to correct the situation, the Shelblans became even worse, ad ding gestures and being very vocal every time Reed missed a shot. "My wife had parked on the other side of Shelby’s station wagon," Guy said, “and she even went over once and asked them to show more respect and they started mocking her too. "I think It’s just as Important to be a good winner as It Is to be a good loser,” Guy said. “Shelby showed no class at all." Guy’s disappointment was shared by a huge Kings Mountain foUowdng, probably the best crowd to ever witness a high school tennis match here. “We had a good crowd and none of our people tried to be ugly or distracting," Guy said. "Our crowd was well- behaved but you can bet every time we go to Shelby there’ll be a bunch or rednecks out there trying to distract the Kings Mountain players." Ihe Lions, when they weren’t showing their rear ends, won five of the six singles matches to wrrap up the conference crown. Tim Riddle was the only Mountaineer to win his ■ingles match, edging Shelby’s highly-touted Jjidy Wilkinson 7-6, 6-7, 6- 4 In double* action, KM’s only winners were Reed and A1 Clonlnger and Chris Keeter and Barron WUaon. In non-conference action Saturday, the Moun taineers defeated powerful Charlotte Latin 6-3. Riddle, worn out after the tough match with miklnson the day before, lost to Latin’s top singles man, John Grlgg, 7-6, 6-3. The Mountaineers return to SWC play this week, playing Crest on the road today and hosting Chase Friday. 1 0 ELECT P.W. BAILEY L r- SHELBY MATCH (Singles) Tim Rdddle (KM def.
