Little leagues need sponsors
Kings Mountain Parks and
Recreation Department is asking
local businesses and industries to
sponsor girls and boys baseball and
softball teams this season.
Because the department receives
no money to Sponsor teams it must
raise $35,700 to outfit all the teams
and purchase necessary equipment
and pay umpires.
Over $20,000 has been raised
thus far, but the department is far
short of its needs as the season
rapidly approaches. Recreation
Director Bruce Clark said other
teams must have sponsors within
the next two weeks.
KM golfers fourth in SWC
Kings Mountain High's golters
finished fourth in the Southwestern
3-A Conference tournament which
concluded with an 18-hole round
Monday at Cleghorne Golf Club
near Rutherfordton.
The first round was held last
Monday at Kings Mountain
Country Club.
The Mountaineers were in sec-
ond place behind champion R-S
Central going into the final round,
but their score ballooned to a 685.
R-S won with a 311-312--623.
South Point came on strong to fin-
ish second with a 343-332--675,
and North Gaston was third with a
336-342--678.
_ Kings Mountain shot 333-352--
685, followed by Bums 347-344--
Clark said approximately $850
is needed to sponsor and outfit a
team. After the initial year spon-
sorship costs will decrease to about
$250 to $300 because uniforms
will not have to be purchased every
year.
"l don't understand what has
happened in the past, but it really
doesn't concern me," he said.
"What I'm concerned about is that
we get-good sponsors and have
them feel good about us being re-
sponsible for their equipment and
uniforms in the future so that once
the initial fee is over the yearly
sponsorship cost will decrease.
691, Shelby 362-338--700, and
East Rutherford 368-374--742.
Jason Harrill of R-S Central was
the individual champion with a 77-
77--154. For his performance, he
will be recognized as SWC Golfer
of the Year.
The Hilltoppers dominated the
event with the lowest four scores.
Following Harrill was first round
leader Shane Dotson with a 76-80--
156, John Fenton with a 79-77--
156 and Greg Owens with a 79-78-
-157.
Kings Mountain's Brad Leonard
finished fifth with a 79-80--159,
followed by Steve Denton of North
Gaston 80-82--162, Josh
Fortenberry of South Point 81-81--
162, and Hill Hudson of Shelby
"I think this is a great service
that businesses can provide for
young people and it serves as a
great advertising tool for their
companies."
Clark said many businesses are
sponsoring both boys and girls
teams this year, which results in
about $1,500 of support. "It's very
much appreciated and it would cer-
tainly be nice if others would con-
sider helping these young boys and
girls with recreation activities for
the summer."
Anyone interested in helping
sponsor a team may call Athletic
Director Dale Greene at 739-9631,
or Clark at 734-0449.
85-78--163.
The top eight individuals earn

Kings Mountain's individual

Leonard 80, Chad Huffman 86,
Blair Williams 91 and Sage Fulton
95.
