All four of the leaders will advance to the state tournament unless a team that finished low- er than fourth wins the tourney. . In that case, the #4 seed will stay at home. The Mountaineers got off to a quick start against Burns and ran their overall record to 14-7. Marlon Byers hit three 3- ga pointers and a two-point ficld goal to score 11 of the Mountaineers’ first quarter points as they broke out to a 19- 14 lead. KM was on top 34-23 at halftime and 46-39 going into the fourth quarter. Byers led the scoring with 18 points, Alex Burris came off the ‘bench to score 16 points and block three shots, and Bryan Odums added eight points and a game-high 12 rebounds. Sidney Crocker.-had a big game with four points and four assists, Burris had two steals and Jawan McCree blocked three shots. _ The Mountaineers weren't up to par defensively and at the foul line. KM hit only 34 per- cent of its free throws (8 of 22) while Burns hit 56 percent (10 of 18). "Our free throw shooting was horrendous," said Sipe. "That's something that hasn't been a constant for us. We've been up and down. "But we did good offensively. Marlon Byers got us off to a hot start, and then we went to the bench and brought in Alex Burris'and he had 16 points. He has really been a big spark for us in the games that we've won. To be able to go to the bench like that and bring an offensive player in." The Mountaineers’ starting point guard, Marcus Smith, had to leave the game with an injury in the fourth quarter, and Burris was sidelined with four fouls, and Sipe moved forward Joseph Bell to the point guard. "He did a great job running the point for about a two- minute stretch until we could get some time off the clock and get Alex back in the game, Tepe said. BW Kings Mountain got off to a slow start in the girls game and dropped a 53-48 decision de- spite playing a tremendous sec- ond half. Burns led 25-15 at intermis- sion but Kings Mountain came back to cut the margin to 34-32 at the end of the third quarter. The Lady Mountaineers took the lead with four minutes to play but Burns iced the game at the foul line. "We played them close the second half," said Coach Tony Leigh. "If we had played four quarters like we did the third and fourth it would have been a different ball game.” ~ Narissa Lockhart ot Burns led all scorers with 29 points. KM had one of its most balanced scoring attacks of the season with Jacquie Hall scoring 19 points, Nikki Ingram 12 and Kisha Hamrick 10. The loss left Mountaineers alone in fifth place in the SWC standings. They will have to win the SWC tournament to qualify for the state playoffs.
