At Burns Tonight
Mounties Sweep North
Kings Mountain High’s cagers
continued to build winning
streaks in Southwestern 3-A
Conference basketball action
Friday night at the KMHS gym.
The first-place Mountaineers,
ranked 16th among 3-A schools
in North Carolina, defeated
North Gaston’s Wildcats 45-35
after the KM girls whipped the
Lady Wildcats 63-57 in the
opening game.
The Mountaineer victory gave
Coach John Blalock’s charges a
12-0 conference record and 15-1
overall mark, and was their
seventh straight victory follow
ing an upset by Burns in the
Cleveland County Tipoff Tour
nament January 2.
The victory by the girls gave
them their fifth straight victory
and kept them in a tie with
Burns for third place in the SWC
with an 84 record. The Moun-
tainettes are now 9-7 overall.
The two KMHS teams will try
to add to tlit Wrn'hii^H 'V,
tonight, but It worn be easy, as ^ ^
they travel to Burns to take on a
pair of talented Bulldog teams.
In both contests, the KMHS
teams will be seeking revenge,
the girls for a lop-sided loss
earlier in SWC play and the boys
for the narrow two-point defeat
in the county tournament. The
Mountaineer team defeated
Burns by 22 points in an earlier
conference game.
Friday’s victory kept the
Mounties one-game ahead of
defending state champ R-S Cen
tral in the race for the SWC
championship. But the victory
did not come in the usual KM
form.
After running up a 30-23
halftime lead, the Mounties
went to a delay game in the se
cond half after their leading re
bounder, 6-5 Gerald Byers, was
disqualified for receiving three
technical fouls for grabbing the
rim.
With Byers out of the lineup.
Cake Decorating
Coach Blalock turned the game
over to the ballhandlers, and
they did a good job of keeping
the ball away from the taller
Wildcats in the second half.
The Mounties outscored
North by 64 in the third period
to make it 36-27 going into the
fourth period, and KM
outscored the Wildcats 9-8 in the
final eight minutes.
Carl Smith and Demetrius
Goode led the Mountaineer scor
ing with 10 points apiece. Byers
scored nine before leaving the
floor.
A 22-point second quarter was
the big key for the Mountainet-
tes, who continued to roll up im
pressive victories following a
mid-season slump during
December and early-January.
Sheryl Goode played one of
her best games of the year with
21 points. Diane Williams added
16 and Trina Hamrick 14 as
Kings Mountain’s front line pro
ved too strong for the Lady Cats.
North Gaston led 17-13 after
the first period, but the Moun-
tainettes outscored their visitors
22-10 in the second quarter to
take command of the game. The
Mountainettes were out front
35-27 at the half and 52-38 going
into the fourth quarter.

“Hopefully, we’ll work hard and
be ready for both of them.”

SHOULD YOU CONVERT
YOUR HOME TO GAS HEAT?
Many people now heating their homes
with oil-fired furnaces are considering
converting to gas. *"But the Consumer
Energy Council of America, an indepen
dent group, warns that only about 2% of
homes with oil burners would benefit from
the switch. The council recommends plug
ging air leaks in the house and replacing
antiquated oil burners with new, high effi
ciency types."
Check into all the facts before spending
money unnecessarily.
