Page 3B Déja v Draughn hands Mountaineer spikers third loss in three seasons in SMAC As Yogi Berra would say, it was like Déja vu all over again. Kings Mountain High’s women’s volleyball team has lost only three confer- ence games since joining the South Mountain Athletic 2A/3A Conference in 2013. All three have been to Draughn High School. The Lady Mountaineers saw the host Lady Wildcats come back from an early 2-1 deficit to post that third vic- tory, 19-25, 25-18, 14-25, 25-22, 15-10 Wednesday in Valdese. Draughn improved to 4-0 in the SMAC and shares the early season lead with its closest rival, East Burke, which is located just across: 1-40 in Icard. Kings Moun- tain fell to 2-1 in the SMAC and 3-1 overall heading into a game with Cleveland County rival Crest Monday at Parker Gym. Kings Mountain fell be- hind early in the first set before Draughn grabbed the lead late and held on to win. With the .match, tied at 1-all, the Lady Mountain- eers closed out the third set with a 16-5 run to win by 25-14. But Draughn wasn’t to be outdone on its home floor. The Lady Cats led all the way in set four to tie the match at 2-all and fought from behind four times to finally grab a 10-9 lead and hold off the Lady Moun- taineers in the deciding fifth game. i a i Kings Mountain’s Sara Pasour sets up a teammate for a point in last week’s volleyball game with Shelby at the KMHS gym.
