Page 2B Mountaineers split at R-S, go to Burns for season finale Kings Mountain's girls clinched at least a tie for second place in the Southwestern 3A Conference with a tough 53-42 victory over R-S Central Tuesday night in Rutherfordton. : Kings Mountain's boys, who were given new life last week when they picked up a forfeit win over South Point, slipped back into a tie for fourth place with Forestview after losing to the Hilltoppers 76-46. The Mountaineers now may be in a situation where they have to defeat third place Burns in the final regular season game Friday night at Burns, or win the upcoming SWC tournament to wrap up fourth place and a possible state playoff berth. Kings Mountain and Forestview go into the last ‘games of the season Friday with 6-5 conference records. Only the top four teams ad- vance to the state tournament. Girls coach Kevin Moss said his team was “fortunate” to win. :Tuesday’s game. The Lady Mountaineers ran their record to 9-2 in the conference and 15-4 overall. “We didn’t play well at all,” Moss said. “We made too many unforced errors and careless fouls. I don’t think we were mentally prepared to play and that is something that really concerns me heading into the conference tournament and playoffs. We really need to bounce back on Friday against Burns to close out the regular - season.” Despite their sub-par perfor- mance, the Lady Mountaineers managed to hold the lead most of the game. KM led 12-7 after the first period, 22-12 at half- time, and 33-25 going into the fourth quarter. ~ Shonda Cole continued her ‘magnificent play inside, leading all scorers with 27 points, in- cluding 16 in the second half. ~. She hit 7-of-8 free throws, in- _ cluding six straight when the game was on the line in the fourth quarter. Anna Ramey contributed 11 points. Gerth led R-S with 13. R-S Central went on a 19-9 scoring run in the second quar- ter to turn a close game into a rout and defeat the Mountaineers in the nightcap. The second place Hilltoppers led 15-14 after the first quarter _ but increased the margin to 34- ‘23 at halftime and 59-36 going into the fourth quarter. .

Kings Mountain won both games to stay in the thick of the battle for state playoff berths. Mounties sweep South Point By GARY STEWART Editor of The Herald It was a “Double Goode” win for Kings Mountain's Mountaineers Friday night when they defeated South Point’s Red Raiders 54-50 in overtime in the final regular season Southwestern 3A Conference game at the KMHS gym. The victory increased the Mountaineers” SWC record to 6- 4, thanks in part to a forfeit win they picked up from South Point the day before. South Point had beaten the Mountaineers earlier in the sea- son ir Belmont, and Red Raider Coach G.C. Harrill found out last week that one of the Raiders that played in that game was ineligible. Thus, KM'’s conference record im- , proved from 4-5 to 5-5, and + Friday’s win over the Raiders put Danny McDowell's team in position to grab one of the four SWC playoff berths. The Mountaineers can hope . that the recent forfeit turns out _ to be as meaningful as a South Point forfeit of a football win over the Mountaineers in 1985. tS KING STREET NATIONAL GUARD MOUNTAIN STREET ARMORY Kings Mountain (3) YORK ROAD That forfeit put the Mountaineers into the state football playoffs for the first time in 21 years, and they went three rounds before being elimi- nated. Heading into a game Tuesday night at R-S Central, the Mountaineers shared third place in the SWC with Burns. East Rutherford and R-S al- ready have the top two seeds locked up. But, just a game behind KM and Burns was Forestview with a 5-5 mark, and the Jaguars were scheduled to play South Point on Tuesday. Despite losing several players recently to injuries, including top two scorers Chris Insley and Devon Lowery, the young but scrappy South Point five stayed right with the taller and more-experienced Mountaineers. ; Harrill went to a ball control- type offense, and the Raiders used back door cuts and high percentage shots to hold the lead for most of regulation. The Raiders led 34-31 at inter- mission in a game that was filled with mistakes by both teams. Combined, the Raiders and Mountaineers committed 58 turnovers. Behind the inside scoring and rebounding strength of 6-5 se- nior Qwenshon Goode, the Mountaineers battled back to take a five point lead with four minutes to go. But South Point's David Mitchell scored with four seconds left to send the game into overtime. Goode’s jump shot from the paint put KM on top 51-50 with 30 seconds left, but South Point turned the ball over on its next possession and Goode nailed two pressure free throws with 18 seconds left to put the game on ice. Goode finished with 17 points and Jamal Byers added 14 to lead the KM scoring at- tack. Matt Camp scored 11 points and Blake Powell 10 for theRed Raiders... =. = = . Kings Mountain's girls “moved to within'one game of" wrapping up second place in the opener by dominating the Lady Red Raiders 61-38.. 7 The Lady Mountaineers went on a 20-2 scoring run in the sec- ond quarter to turn a close = game into a rout. KM led 32-10 at halftime and 50-25 going into the fourth quarter. Sophomore center Shonda Cole led the way with 20 points, and Anna Ramey and Ashley Leigh scored 15 points each. Cole had only seven points at halftime, but scored 10 points in the third quarter. The Mountaineers did a good job defensively on South Point's all-time leading scorer, Whitney Robinson. The Mountaineers limited to junior star to zero field goals in the first half, and 12 points total for the game. Two long-range 3-point field goals accounted for half of her points. Brittany Watson added 10 points for South Point. “The team really played well,” noted Coach Kevin Moss. “This was the first game in a while where we played well from start to finish. We had a good balance of inside and out- side play, and we also played well on the defensive end.” “01 1OGIRLS GAME 11KM (61) - Ramey 15, Thomas 2, C. Cole 1, E. Moore 5, S.
