Mountain St,
Ledford and Blalock both
received the best free throw
and most valuable player
awards for their teams.
Terry Holland, head
basketball coach at the
University of Virginia and
former Davidson mentor, was
guest speaker for the event.
Trophies were presented by
Ki'-f^s Mountain High
basketball coaches Blaine
Froneberger and Allen Dixon
and wrestling coach Bo
Goforth.
It was the second straight
year for MVP honors for
BlaJock, who has copped
virtually every award passible
in his senior season at KMHS.
A 32.5 point per game scorer,
Blalock was All-Southwestern
Conference for the past two
year, MVP in the conference,
All-State, MVP in the Marion
Civitan Classic and honorable
mention All-Southern.
“About the only honor left
that he could receive is to be
chosen for the East-West
game,” noted Coach Dixon,
“and from what I’ve heard
he’ll get that honor as well.”
Blalock’s scoring average
was the best ever in the 20-
year history of the SWC and he
set school records for most
points in a single season (778),
most points in a single game
(46) and most career points
(1,372).
A 6-2 guard who played
forward most of high high
school career because of the
Mountaineers’ lack of height,
Blalock has already inked a
grant-in-aid with Western
Carolina University. WCU
head coach "Jim Hartbarger
says he feels Blalock is the
best recruit he’s landed since
he’s been al the Cullowhee
school and WCU sports in
formation director Steve
White predicts Blalcok will be
the school’s next Henry
Logan.
Ledford, like Blalock, was
All-Conference two years
running and she finished
second in the conference
scoring race with an average
of better than 14 points per
game. She led the league in
scoring, point-wise, during the
regular season.
Kathy, tagged by Coach
Froneberger as the “greatest
competitor I’ve ever had”,
was held under double figures
only twice and that came
while she was suRering from a
severe ankle injury. “Most
athletes, boys or girls,
wouldn’t have played with as
critical an injury as Kathy
had,” noted Froneberger,
“but that just goes to show you
what kind of a competitor she
is.”
A three-year starter for the
Mountainettes, Kathy also
plays the number two position
for the KMHS girls tennis
team which is in its first year
of SWC competition.
Glass and Terry, the
smallest performers on the
wrestling squad, helped lead
the Mountaineers to the best
record in their short wrestling
history, a 5-6 mark. Both were
All-Conference.
“We don’t usually like to
mention records,” noted
Goforth, “but we’re proud of
this record because it’s our
best evw. We’ve improved
each year since we started the
wrestling program.”
The Mountaineers tied for
second place in the SWC with a
3-2 record.
In addition to the trophy
presentations, all senior
members of the basketball
and wrestling squads were
awarded plaques and All-
Conference certificates were
presented to Blalock, Ledford
and Sandra Byers for
basketball and Glass and
Terry for wrestling. Letters
and-or stars were also
presented.

YOU KNOW ITS TIME
FOR A CHANGE
But Maybe You Don't Know
CHARLES L. PEELER
Candidate For The Office Of Sheriff
Cieveiand County
He is a Cleveland County native — son of a
Deputy Sheriff. At age 40 he is young enough
to be active but old enough to have the
maturity needed for the office he seeks. He is
a graduate of Belwood High School and a
charter member of Aldersgate Methodisf
Church of Shelby. He is a Thrity-Second
Degree Mason, an armed forces veteran and
a member of the American Legion, the
Disabled American Veterans, American
Veterans and Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks. He is married to the former
Joan Propsf. The Peelers have fwo children
and reside at 1315 Wesson Road.
Charlie knows it is time for a change and
he outlines his platform point by point. He
promises to dedicate all his energy and ef
fort toward making Cleveland County a
better, safer and more pleasant place to live.
Platform:
1 — I will give the people of Cleveland County 24-hour,
seven-day-a-week protection with honest law enforcement
2 — 1 will continuously seek the most modern equipment
and the most dedicated personnel available.
3 — 1 will strive for a close working relationship within the
SherifTs Department and a better relationship between the
Sheriffs Department and the citizens of Cleveland County.
4—1 favor the placing of a resident deputy sheriff in each
of the county’s townships to provide more adequate
protecbon for the people of each community. Every Deputy,
will be encouraged to know his community and his people and
will be required to be available at all times.
5—I believe that the duties of a deputy sheriff are full time
duties and cannot be performed by part time deputies.
6 — I also favor using deputies for more ni^ttime patrol
duty. I want the people of this county to feel completely
secure in their homes through the most vulnerable hours of
darkness.
7 — 1 pledge to the citizens of this county more service fcr
tax dollar spent and I will work with the county manager and
county commissioners and all citizens for continual progress
not only in the Sheriffs Department, but in the county as a
whole.
Statement:
I have taken leave from my job to campaign for this important post. I
am paying for my campaign with my own savings and with contributions
from my supporters. I am not campaigning on taxpayer's time nor am I
using taxpayer's equipment. And naturally I do not have a staff of tax
paid workers assisting me, but 1 will devote my full time to the task
ahead until after the election and if elected I will be a full time Sheriff.
YOUR WHOLEHEARTED SUPPORT BOTH NOW AND AT THE POLLS
ON MAY 7th WILL BE MOST APPRECIATED
