"Monday night, Shelby really exposed our biggest weakness," Sipe said of the 73-49 loss to the Golden Lions. "And that's in the backcourt. We knew coming in that losing an all-conference backcourt was going to be a weak spot. Of course, Shelby's going to expose a lot of weaknesses in teams they heers lose two to Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. Shelby's girls erased a 15-12 first quarter deficit to build a 37-28 halftime lead before Kings Mountain began slicing away at the deficit late in the third quarter. Even though they never regained the lead, the Lady Mountaineers cut the score to 48-46 after three quarters. Shelby used some clutch free throws to get the lead back to five points but Kings Mountain cut Mountaineers drop pair at Clover Kings Mountain High's varsity basketball teams dropped a pair of games Friday night at Clover. The girls lost their fifth straight game, 67-33, and the boys lost for the second time to the Blue Eagles and the third time in five games overall, 72-53.

"I was really disappointed in our half-court offense against Shelby," Sipe said. "I though we were disci- plined enough to get into a half- court offense but Shelby's quick- ness took us out of it. "And it was evident that we're not getting the perimeter game we need,” he added. "We have to have . Shelby to develop a strong inside game. "But," he added, "it takes awhile to get kids to play together. It takes a while to find the way that best suits you to play the game, and we're going to find a way to win." Sipe said the North-South Doubleheader gives the teams a chance to play teams their fans don't ordinarily see, and it's a good chance for the players to improve before beginning conference play after Christmas. "I appreciate Carolina State Bank for doing this, not only for the teams but for the schools, 100." Sipe said. "It's a chance 10 play two games and it's a chance for the kids to understand and realize that this is something done especially for them. "These past two years, Carolina State Bank, Jay Rhodes and all of the employees down. there have gone out of their way to take care of the kids that come in as far as feeding them and supplying them with extra momentocs of the North-South Doubleheader." . goal by Ramey cut the margin to it to 61-59 on a three-point goal by Anna Ramey.
