Kings Mountain's only other re- maining games in the regular sea- son are at first place Shelby on February 23 and at home against winless South Point on February 26. Key foul shooting and good de- fense were the keys for the Mountaineers in Tuesday's win over North Gaston. The Wildcats came from 12 points down in the second half to take a 66-65 lead, but Bryan Leftwich and Marquiz Williams each hit a pair of free throws, and Williamson stole a pass and fed to Marcus Bell for a game-ending layup to give the Mountaineers the victory. Kings Mountain jumped on top early and led by 19-14 after the first period and 33-21 at halftime. But Williamson got into foul trou- ble early in the third period, and with him on the bench the Wildcats were able to get back into the game, Leftwich led the Moungaineer at- tack with 21 points.

The Lady Patriots lost to East Lincoln Thursday 30-24. Kings Mountain jumped out to an 8-4 lead after one quarter and led 18-8 at halftime. "In the second half, we did not play with the intensity we did in the first half, and East Lincoln played well," Coach Candy Albergine said. East came on strong to outscore the KM ladies 22-6 in the second half and take the victory. Kisha ‘Hamrick led the KM scoring with 12 points but was held to just two points in the second half. She fouled out mid-way of the fourth quarter, and without her ballhan- dling skills the Lady Patriots had trouble bringing the ball down- court. Amy Huggins and Jackie Houston played well for the Lady Patriots and scored four points each. Monday afternoon, Kings Mountain fell to league-leading Crest 52-28. "Although you'd never know it by the score, we played a pretty good game against a very tough team," Albergine said. Kings Mountain was down by 21 points in the second quarter but managed to cut the lead to 13 points by halftime. . "The spurt seemed to give us a boost of confidence and we contin- ued to play well in the second half," Albergine said. "We were not able to keep Crest's big girls off the boards and they scored easily on second and third shot attempts." Kisha Hamrick led the KM scor- ing with 16 points and also played a fine floor game. Allene Barron and Dee Byers played tough inside against bigger girls, and the quick- ness of Tamra Webber and Jackie Houston caused problems for Crest. Byers and Barron scored five points each. "Crest easily has more, talent than any team we play, but they definitely know they were in a tough game against us,” Albergine said. Two weeks ago, Kings Mountain lost to Burns 36y-22 and defeated Lincolnton 23-21. Against Burns, Kisha Hamrick led the scoring with 10 points. Two teams. share top The first place Alley Cats lost three of four games to the Flufs, and the Naggers and Tar Pack split a four-game set to move into a tie for first place in Mixed Duckpin Bowling League action Thursday night at Dilling Heating. The Naggers and Tar Pack now have 12-8 records while the Alley Cats dropped to 11-9. The Flufs bring up the rear with a 5-15 mark.

John Caveny bowled a 115 line and 323 set and Margaret Dilling added a 108-299 to lead the Flufs over the Cats. Bob Rathbone led the losers with a 131 line and 319 set. "We were not ready to play," Albergine said. "For the first time this season I was disappointed with our effort and intensity. We were flat out-hustled. I was proud of the way our 'white team' came in and played in the fourth quarter. This group includes Nancy Ely, Katie Subler, Shania Hillman, Kimberly Belt and Kim Parker." Hamrick scored 13 points and Barron had five in KM's victory over Lincolnton. The entire team played great defense and out-re- bounded the taller Lincolnton team. "We played well for three quar- ters and led 23-14 going into the fourth quarter," Albergine said. "In the last quarter we lost some inten- sity and allowed Lincolnton to cut the lead to two points, but we man- aged to hold on for the win."
