Sunday’s loser’s bracket finals is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Deal Street and the tournament champion- ship game is scheduled for 4:30 at Davidson. “All in all, 1985 shapes up as the best year ever,” said Champion. “Three members of this field--Howard’s, Ziml- inghaus and Blantons--are rated by the national softball publication “Insight Softball” as being among the top teams in the country.” Slowpitch softball has long been played at its best in Piedmont North Carolina and continues to thrive through the White Plains Shrine Classic, which is recognized as one of the top slowpitch events in the country. The old Dixie Classic, which took its ~ name from the once popular basketball tournament with the same name, ushered in the slowpitch craze. The Pharr Yarns Reds of McAdenville invited the best teams in the country for the three-day event. Originally coached by the legendary Red Jenkins and later by Doug McDonald, the Reds were recognized as the kings of slowpitch softball and McAdenville was the slowpitch capital of the world. Later, Richard Howard with his Denver- based Howard’s Furniture team continued North Carolina’s dominance of the sport. About The Teams Following is a summary of the competing teams: Howard's Western Steer: Last year’s tournament champion. Also was Amateur Softball Association’s Na- tional champion. This team, sponsored by Richard Howard, has been national champs many times. KMHS Softball Team Wins Playoff Opener From Page 3-A | “It was a real tight ballgame all the way but we feel like we gave them everything they got,” said KMHS Coach Bruce Clark. “We made six errors and I feel like many of them were due to some of our players having never played in the playoffs before. “But we were real pleased to win,” he added. ‘‘Melanie Herndon pitched another outstanding ballgame and Edie Herndon hit the biggest home run she’s ever hit.” John Rankin Wins Bass Club Tourney John Rankin of Shelby caught 13 pounds, 14 ounces of bass to. win last week's Cleveland County Bass Club Tournament at Lake Wylie. Richard Blanton was se- cond with eight pounds, 12 Sale! ounces, and Larry Melton was third with seven pounds, seven ounces. Melton also caught the biggest fish, a three-pound, four-ounce bass.
