Scnior Sheldon Thompson returns at wing along with junior Justin Joncs. "This is going to the the shortest tcam and the strongest schedule we've cver had," says Sipe. "We open up December 3 at Concord and then come home to play Hunter Huss. Butch Blalock (Former KM player and new Huss coach) is looking forward to bring- ing a team back to Kings Mountain. We hope we're not fod- der that night." The Mountaineers will battle Concord, Huss, Lincolnton and Clover twice each in non-confer- ence action, and will also compete in an eight-team Shelby Star The girls will scrimmage from 5-7 p.m. and the boys from 7-9 p.m. Kings Mountain's boys will host Independence of Charlotte in a scrimmage at 1 p.m. Sat., Nov. 23. "Independence has a guard (Bill Canty) who has alrcady committed to Wake Forest," Sipe said. "If the Kings Mountain folks want (0 scc a future ACC player in action this is a good opportunity. These scrim- mages arc usually an exciting game. The players rcally get up and down the floor." sk kok Coach Leigh had an unexpected surprise during the off-scason when four players, including two who probably would have been starters, transferred to other schools. Now, he has only three players who saw action last year. "We're going to be very young, I mean extremely young," he said. "We have 13 out for the varsity and 10 out for jayvees and only three of and they're looking pretty good. Next year we will be looking at 2() 10 25 people on the varsity." Leigh said the KM ladics won't be as big as they were last year, but may be quicker. "We don't have the Suzette Feemster-type athlete in- side, but these girls have a good at- titude and a desire to win and they'll get after it." Leigh will take his team to West Lincoln next Monday for a scrim- mage, and then participate in the scrimmage on Friday of next week at East Gaston. Looking to the conference race, Leigh predicts East Rutherford will be the team to beat. “East is going to be very tough," he said. "They have most of their team coming back. North Gaston should be right up there too. We were hurt when two of our retumn- ing starters transferred. I was ex- pecting four returning starters back this year, so that put a lot of burden on our JV girls coming up. But they worked hard in the summer. We're going to make up for our lack of size and ability with hustle and desire." BRIDGES. - HARDWARE AND HOME CENTER 100 S.

Sipe hopes a full-court press and a quick transition game will help make up for his team's lack of height. "Without a proven inside scorer, we're going to have to get the ball in the open court to Williamson and Jones and try to score some easy buckets before the defense gets set up,” he said. "But this is the style of basketball the kids like to play. We won't be ranked that highly in the conference so this ought to be a fun season. When I told the players we were going to push the ball up the floor they all got good smiles on their faces. That's how they like to play.” Sipe looks to Shelby to be the team to beat in the conference with Burns running a close second. "Shelby will be real strong," he says. "They haven't had a real strong team since Chad Holbrook was a senior. They've been down about three years but George Hall has some good athletes this year. He has fine perimeter people and good inside players too. "I'd have to pick Shelby first, then probably Burns because of their inside game. If Burns finds a guard or two to go with those big kids they'll be a strong contender." After those two, Sipe predicts, the conference will be balanced. "It looks like there's a changing of the guard," he said. "Every team had big losses due to graduation." Sipe will see his team under fire for the first time November 22 with a scrimmage at East Gaston. k EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT ¢ 7:00 PM DOORS OPEN AT 6:00 PM .

Dawn Hardin and Toscha Tate, both seniors, and sophomore Amanda Halmess all started at times last season. They'll be count- ed on for leadership for the younger players like juniors Christy McCleary and Holly Goforth, sophomore Natalie Barnes, ninth grader Tamika Anderson, Rebecca Champion, Tonya Barnette, and others. "Everybody with the exception of Dawn, Toscha and Amanda played on the JV team last year," Leigh said. "The JV team was suc- cessful so those girls are coming up here with a desire to win. They have good attitudes." Leigh said he won't measure the success of this year's team by wins and losses, but by intensity and im- provement. "Last year we set a goal for 10 wins and we achieved that goal," he said. "We were real pleased with last year's performance. This year we're basically going to try to do | the same thing, and that is get after it and try to improve. "Our program is headed in the right direction," he added.
