Mountaineers
rout Forestview
to go 5-0 in BSC
(January 27, 2021 Issue)
Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers ran their Big South 3A Conference record to 5-0 Friday at Forestview with an 84-44 rout of the Jaguars, setting up a battle for first place with the 5-0 Crest Chargers last night at KM’s Parker Gym.
Kings Mountain’s girls, 3-1 in the BSC, did not play because of a COVID issue at Forestview and they now have two games – one with Forestview on a date to be determined and another with Stuart Cramer on February 4 – to make up.
After just a brief exchange of baskets early on, it was Mountaineers all night long at Forestview. The Mountaineers finished the first quarter up 19-9 and then turned the game into a rout by leading 46-21 at the half and 61-33 going into the fourth quarter.
Isaiah Tate had another spectacular scoring night for the Mountaineers with 29 points. He also dished out six assists and stole the ball four times.
Zeke Cannedy added 17 points, two rebounds, six assists and one steal, Marcus Odums 10 points, 16 rebounds, four assists and three steals, and Matt Toms 10 points, six rebounds, two assists and three steals.
The Mountaineers also had great production from their bench as reserves added 18 points. Titus Phillips, who just joined the team after having surgery, had eight points, a rebound, an assist and two steals; Maddox James eight points and six boards, Amari Smith two points and a rebound, Zavion Smith four assists, a rebound and a steal and Curtis Simpson six boards and an assists.
Kings Mountain will begin second half BSC action Friday at home against Stuart Cramer. They will also be home on Tuesday, Feb. 2 against North Gaston before heading to Hunter Huss February 5 for a rematch with a very strong Huskie five.
