Kings Mountain's only dominat- ing wrestler was McClain, who shut out all three of his opponents in the 152-pound division.

He defeated Edward Holland of R-S Central in the con- solation finals. "This is the first time we've had as nfany as eight wrestlers to quali- fy for the state tournament,” said Moffitt. "With a few more breaks, we could have had even more be- cause all 13 of our men wrestled well." : This is the first time KM has won a regional title since the state changed its post-season wrestling format. When there were sectional tournaments, Kings Mountain won two championships. After this week's individual state championships at High Point, the Mountaineers will be involved in the first annual state team tourna- ment. KM will host West Henderson in a first round match next Tuesday at 7 p.m. The second round through the championship round will be next Friday and Saturday at the Greensboro Coliseum. Smith was a starting setter as a freshman at KMHS and developed other areas of her game throughout her career. "She became a great all-around player her senior year," said Bridges. "That's why she got the MVP award this year." Bridges feels like Smith can start as a freshman at Appalachian. "They have a very good pro- gram," she said. "Coach McGee was an All-American setter. With Carmen being a setter, the Appalachian program has a lot to offer her." Smith is active in several school activities other than sports. She's a member of the Beta, Letterman's, Key, Pep, Science and French clubs, is a class representative on Student Council, and senior class treasurer. During the last several summers she has helped Coach Larry Sipe with his Champions of Tomorrow Basketball Camp. Smith is the daughter of George and Vickie Smith of Grover. She is a member of First Baptist Church in Grover where she is an assistant Sunday School teacher. Vor wn Q PRT A SGG-1 12976 Shelby From Page 4-A Coach Larry Sipe, whose club defeated Shelby 109-54 earlier in the year, said the Mountaineers may have been looking ahead to Friday's showdown with R-S. "I haven't mentioned the R-S game to them," he said. "But it could have been in the back of their minds. There are a lot of ac- tivities scheduled for Friday, such as a pep rally, Senior Night and a dance after the game. But you have to give credit to Shelby. Our prob- lems were brought on by their fine play." Hekok Kings Mountain's girls contin- ued their fine play of late but Shelby's Charlotte Smith took con- trol of the game in the final four minutes as the Lady Lions fought off the KM upset bid. The two teams almost traded basket for basket over the first three periods. KM led 11-10 after the first quarter and Shelby led 18- 17 at the half and 27-26 going into the fourth quarter. Kings Mountain caught up again at 33-all on a Carmen Smith jumper with 4:20 remaining, but it was over two minutes before the KM ladies were able to score again. Shelby's pressing defense produced steals on three of four KM trips down the floor and Shelby's Smith rebounded a missed shot and put it back in to give the Lady Lions a 39-34 lead with 2:02 left. Suzette Feemster hit a jumper from the lane and Smith added a free throw as KM cut the differ- ence to 39-37 at the 1:26 mark but Coach Ronny Funderburke's ladies never could get any closer. Smith hit a basket and Shelby added three foul shots down the stretch to seal the victory. Tangela Black led the Shelby scoring with 15 points. Smith was held out of action during the first 3 1/2 quarters. She scored six of her seven points in the fourth quarter. Feemster led KM with 12.
