SportSouth signs Hornets for TV The "Bugs are Back" on SportSouth for another five years, it was announced today by SportSouth Vice resident and General Manager Hunter Nickell, and Charlotte Hornets President Spencer Stolpen. The contract ex- tension will keep the Hornets on SportSouth through the 1998-99 season, "The Charlotte Hornets are an aggressive, young franchise who, in just five years, have more than made their mark in the NBA," says Nickell. "This renewal is based on a mutual commitment to expand the Hornets' viewing audience and to provide fans with creative enter- taining presentations of NBA ac- tion." SportSouth is currently in its fourth year of televising a 20-game regular season package of Hornets basketball. Charlotte made the playoffs for the first time last sea- son and advanced to the second round only to be eliminated by a tough New York Knicks team. In addition, the Hornets have led the NBA in attendance five of its last six years, "We've enjoyed a great relation- ship with SportSouth over the last four years and we're looking for- ward to expanding the opportuni- J Jackie Houston, left, of Kings Mountain accepts award from Shellie Pfohl, Coordinator for NC Girls and Women’ s Sports Day, at recent ceremony in Raleigh.

The event was presented by the North Carolina Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Health and NC Health and Fitness Foundation, and sponsored by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina and JC Penney. Jackie Houston of Kings Mountain received the Award for Excellence as the High School Girl Recipient in North Carolina. Houston attends Kings Mountain High School. "We are very proud of all of our award recipients and nominees," said Shellie Pfohl, Coordinator for NC Girls and Women in Sports Day. "By recognizing the outstand- ing girls and women in sports in our state, we celebrate the achieve- ments of girls and women every- where." Girls and Women in Sports Day is a special day set aside in February of each year to focus at- tention on issues involving girls and women in sports. It was started in 1987 by the Women's Sports Foundation as a day to remember Olympic volleyball player Flo Hyman, who died of Marfan's Syndrome. During her lifetime, Hyman had numerous athletic achievements, worked toward equality for women's sports, as well as breaking down the barriers for all girls and women in sports. It has evolved into a day to call atten- tion to the positive influence of sports participation and to recog- nize past and present achievements of all girls and women in sports. Each year the day is celebrated at the national, state, and local levels. Houston was recognized and given the Award of Excellence for her accomplishments in sports. She has been USTA tennis champion for North Carolina for the last three years. She was also the state 3-A high school girls tennis champion as a freshman in 1993. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin W. Stallings. Tri-County Horse Show April 16 in Cherryville The Tri-County Horse Show will be held Saturday, April 16 at Delview Road in Cherryville.
