Kings Mountain High's wrestlers fin-
ished second in the Southwestern
Foothills 3A Conference tournament
Saturday night.
St. Stephens won the event with
206.5 points. Kings Mountain scored
159, R-S Central 132, Hickory 117.5,
Burns 95.5, Crest 83.5 and Fred T.
Foard 43.
Kings Mountain didn’t win any indi-
vidual championships but placed six
wrestlers in the championship finals
and six others in the consolation finals.
Finishing second for the
Mountaineers were Brandon McClain,
Chris Patrick, Kyle Hargreaves, Blake
Morgan, Josh Yon and Orlando Curry.
Finishing third were Ryan Bolin,
Kyle Smith and Steven Grant.
Finishing fourth were Isaac Proctor,
Phillip Ruff and Brad Camp.
“I'look forward to a great finish this
year with a very young team,” said
veteran coach Alfred Ash. “We have
seven sophomores starting, three jun-
iors and four seniors. The young men
have worked hard all year and have
been steadily improving over the
course of the season. I feel that several
of our guys have a great shot at quali-
fying for the Individual State
Tournament if they keep the pace that
they have set for themselves.”
HM Prior to the conference tournament
Saturday, the Mountaineers defeated
R-S
From 6A
and D.J. Byrd nine points,
five rebounds and four
steals.
“It was a good combina-
tion of inside-out,”
McDowell said. “The big
guys did their job and the
guards did their job.”
The Kings Mountain Herald
Wrestlers second in SWFH
Burns 42-24 to wrap up second place
in the Southwestern Foothills
Conference and earn a berth in the
State Dual Team Tournament which
opened Tuesday night.
The match was rescheduled due to
bad weather last Tuesday night.
The Mountaineers finished the regu-
lar season 5-1 and were 15-6 overall
heading into the State tournament.
Kings Mountain went into the match
needing a victory to wrap up one of
only two SWFH berths in the State
Tournament. A loss to Burns would
have created a three-way tie for second
between the Mountaineers, Bulldogs
and R-S Central. If that had been the
case, a draw would have determined
the State berth.
“Our wrestlers came out and wres-
tled very well,” Ash said.

started playing.”

rugged final three games as
