The “Y” will hold a grand opening Thursday at 1:30 pm and everyone is invited. Kings Mountain YMCA to officially open today ALAN HODGE Staff Writer Fat is flying and muscles are building in the new Kings Mountain YMCA exercise room. Just stocked with over 30 brand new pieces of state of the art exercise equipment, the sec- ond floor at the YMCA has been transformed into a health club par excellence. “We have 16 cardio exercisers and 14 weight machines ready for members,” said YMCA di- rector David Ozmore. “The up- per balcony of the gymnasium has been converted into a free weights area where people can visit 18 stations.” Complimenting the new equipment are sparkling clean surroundings, piped it in usc, the great deal the “Y” is offer- ing on membership. About 80 new memberships are still available at one-half off. “Our members range in age from teens up to senior citi- zens,” Ozmore says. “Several husbands and wives are using the exercise equipment as well as mothers and daughters.” A perfect place for the family to get together and get in shape, the new Kings Mountain YM- CA exercise facility will send those holiday pounds packing. The YMCA also wants to invite everyone to a grand ribbon cut- ting there Thursday at 1:30 pm. The “Y” is located at 211 Cleveland Avenue in the former Community Center.

As many as 170 new families have joined- 20 in a single day. That works out to over 600 heads al- together. Part of the reason for the influx of new faces has been Mounties second in S.C. tournament Host Boiling Springs, SC hit three key free throws in the fi- nal seconds of the second over- time to edge Kings Mountain's Mountaineers 64-61 for the championship in the annual Ramada Inn Holiday Basketball Tournament Thursday night. The Mountaineers finished 2- 1 in the eight-team field, defeat- ing Wade Hampton in the open- er and Bamberg-Earhardt in the semifinals. Kings Mountain led much of the championship game before turning ice cold in the third and fourth quarters. “We were in control until the final five minutes, even though we didn’t put but 21 points on the board in the third and fourth quarter,” said KM Coach Larry Sipe. “We kind of hit a dry spell there.” Boiling Springs caught the Mountaineers at 50-all with a . minute to play. Regulation end- ed in a 52-52 tie. John Haywood, who finished with a game-high 24 points for the winners, scored all seven of Boiling Springs’ points in the first overtime, which ended with the score tied at 59-all. In the second OT, Qwenshon Goode put back a missed shot to give the Mountaineers a 61- 59 lead, but Haywood hit two free throws to tie it for Boiling Springs. Kings Mountain had a turnover and got into a fouling situation, and Boiling hit three of four free throws down the stretch to ice the victory. Fabian Williams and Blake Buchanan added 14 points each for Boiling Springs. Qwenshon Goode scored 16, Kevin Henderson 15 and Vince Young 12 for the Mountaineers. “Our kids played well enough to win,” Sipe said. “We had 26 field goals and Boiling Spring only had 15, but the in- ability to get to the free throw line, especially in the second half, hurt us.” For the game the Mountaineers attempted only 12 free throws, and only four in the second half and two over- times. They hit only 6-of-12 and Boiling Springs hit 14 of 23. In the semifinals Wednesday night, Young scored 18 points, Goodel5 and Joe Williamson 10 to lead the Mountaineers to a 73-54 win over Bamberg- Earhardt. Tony Brown scored 20 for Bamberg, most of them from downtown. Kings Mountain scored 30 field goals and hit 11 of 18 shots from the foul line. “We were able to push the ball up and down the floor,” Sipe said. “We got into our press and we really shot free throws well.” Sipe, whose club now pre- pares for a rugged January schedule in the Southwestern 3A Conference, said playing in the tournament was a great ex- perience for his youngsters. “It was a good atmosphere,” he said. “Boiling Springs did a tremendous job of putting it on. It was good to see some differ- ent teams and play against some folks you don’t ordinarily get to play against.” Goode and Young of the ~~ ‘Mountaineers both averaged in double figures for the three games and were named to the KM girls win, boys lose in conference opener at Kings Mountain High's varsi- ty basketball teams split their Southwestern 3A Conference opener Tuesday at R‘S:Central.
