£ § eae TOURNEY From Page 2-B son games with the Cavaliers, the Mountaineers lcd at halftime and matched the Cavaliers in ficld goals, but East Rutherford's size advantage and free throw shooting meant the difference in the end. This time, the Mountaineers again grabbed the carly Icad and were on top 31-26 at halftime. Again, East Rutherford staged a second half comeback. But this time the Mountaineers had enough power to hold on. Sipe employed a packed zonc defense which forced the Cavaliers to attempt more shots that usual from the outside. Even when the Cavaliers took the lead in the fourth quarter, Sipe stuck with the defense. Bryan Leftwich gave the Mountaineers their final lead at 65- 64 with two minutes remaining; and sophomore center Sharee Hopper grabbed a couple of key re- bounds, forced a turnover and hit a big free throw down the stretch to preserve the win. Leftwich led the KM scoring with 18 points. Marquiz Williamson added 15 and Justin Jones 10, and Hopper grabbed 10 rebounds. James Miller scored 20 for East Rutherford. B® The zone defense worked so well against the Cavaliers that Sipe went to it again Friday against Burns. And, again, it worked. The Mountaineers grabbed the early lead and held on, even as Burns missed a shot at the buzzer which would have given the Bulldogs the victory. Kings Mountain led 26-23 at the half and seemed to be widening the gap in the second half. But Burns scored on five straight possessions in the fourth quarter to pull within 48-46 with two minutes remaining. Williamson hit a free throw with 1:43 to play go give the Mountaineers a 49-46 lead and Freddie Lovelace scored for Burns with 1:30 remaining to cut the mar- gin to 49-48. Burns missed its final three shots, including the last one with five seconds left when Hopper claimed the rebound to clinch the victory. Burns had beaten the Mountaineers twice by one point during the regular season, includ- ing a gahe in nit Hy when thg Bulldogs scored on a three-point shot from half-court at the buzzer. Williamson led the KM scoring ‘with 15 points. Hopper added 12 points and Marcus Bell contributed nine rebounds. Antwan Phelps scored 12 points for the Bulldogs. HM Shelby burned the nets from the outside Saturday night and ap- peared to be on the way to an easy victory over the Mountaineers. The Lions built a 43-29 halftime advan- tage, but Sipe and the Mountaineers weren't about to give up. "At halftime, I told them not to MAY 1-6, 1993PRICE $489.00 be satisfied just to be here,” Sipe said. "We went back and started playing man to man after playing two and a hall’ games in the zone. | think Shelby got a little shell- shocked and didn't look at the bas- ket. We took some chances by fouling them and putting them on the line and, luckily, they missed." Bryan Leltwich's three-point shooting (he scored six threes for the game) got the Mountaineers back into the game, and Marcus Bell, a 50 percent free throw shoot- cr, canned two pressure {rec throws with 11 seconds left to give the Mountaineers the winning points. Leftwich popped a three-pointer with 35 scconds left to pull the Mounties within 66-65; and after Shelby increased its lead to 69-65 Leftwich nailed another three to cut it to 69-68. Shelby's Robert Williams missed two free throws with 11 seconds left, and Bell grabbed the rebound and was fouled. He hit both to give the Mountaineers the lead. A final Shelby shot failed. Leftwich finished with 20 points, Williamson had 17 points and nine assists, and Jones added 11 points to lead the KM scoring. Robert Moore led Shelby with 18 and Jock Degree added 17. "I don't know if another team will ever experience what we did in those three games," Coach Sipe said. "When you have to beat the third, second and first place teams within four days, that's a big task for anybody. You go back to the size of the heart - the size of the fight in the dog. That's what counts." Sipe said he was especially pleased for his five seniors - Williamson, Jones, Jerry Black, Chad Huntsinger and Lewis Nantz. "This will be something good for them to look back on," he said. "I've talked a lot about the pride that these players have. Last year when they were juniors, we won only nine games, and this year we had won only 11 going into the tournament. I'm glad something like this happened so they can have some good memories of playing basketball at King Mountain High School."
