Gerald Byers scored his only basket of the night on a tip-in at the buzzer to give Kings Moun tain’s Mountaineers a 40-38 vic tory over R-S Central in Southwestern 3-A Conference basketball action Friday night at Spindale. The victory, KM’s second two-point decision over the Hilltoppers this year, clinched at least a tie for the SWC cham pionship.

The Moutaineers slowed the tempo Friday after Byers and Terrence Blalock got into early foul trouble. Both finished the game but had four fouls. The lead see-sawed back and forth thrughout the 32-minute contest and both clubs searched for a last-second shot after Paul Ingram of the Mountaineers hit a pair of free throws to tie it at 38-all with 3:28 to play. Kings Mountain gained its last possession with 41 seconds to play when junior forward Demetrius Goode blocked a layup attempt by the Hilltoppers 6-6 center, Chris Michaels. The Mountaineers used two time outs during the final 41 seconds and set up point guard Carl Smith, whose last-second shot whipped R-S 69-67 earlier in the year, for the shot. Smith penetrated the lane with six secodns left and put up a soft jumper. It fell off the rim in to Byers’ hands, and he tipped it in as the final second ticked off the clock. R-S Central Coach Stacy Lail protested that the shot came after the buzzer, but referee Jerry Carpenter, who was sta tioned underneath the basket and with a good view of the clock, ruled it good. Blalock led the Mountaineers in scoring with 14 points and Smith added 10. Johnny Smith scored 13 and Michaels II for the Hilltoppers. Kings Mountain’s girls battled back from a 14-point deficit in the fourth period to pull within five oints, but R-S cashed in on several free throw opportunities in the final minute to win going away. The loss broke an eight-game winning streak for the Moun tainettes, who, despite the loss, remained in sole possession of se cond place.
