Baptists honor ‘Bro’ Chip By REG ALEXANDER Special to the Herald A fully-packed church auditorium resounded with laughter, praise, song and celebration last Sunday evening as First Baptist Church recognized the thirty year anniversary of the pastoral leadership of Dr. John “Chip” Sloan. Within the Southern Baptist Convention the average tenure of the pastorate is less than four years. Members of First Baptist
and the church staff alike appreciate the rarity of the three decades of leadership under Dr. Sloan. The service began with a collection of Pastor Sloan's favorite personal-worship melodies sung by the congregation. A special song of tribute written by the Music Minister Emeritus Morris Jordan was a part of the celebration. Rev. Jordan addressed the congregation as the first of six staff members to See BRO CHIP, Page 3A
The Moses of Our Generation By LORETTA COZART Special to the Herald Last week the Rev. Billy Graham passed away at his home in Montreat, NC at the age of 99. Graham was considered by many to be “America’s Pastor”, having counseled U.S. Presidents from Truman to Obama. I remember watching Billy Graham’s Crusades on television when I was young. He was handsome and charismatic. He words were clear; you could feel his passion for the gospel in every word. Thousands flocked to hear his message in stadiums across America … and the world. His message was strong, and people were eager to hear it. According to the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, 215 million people heard him preach and 3.2 million people responded to the invitation to accept Christ. During the weeks and months ahead, countless tributes will be made to Rev. Graham. But, he wouldn’t want any of it. He sought to share the message and the light of Christ with the world and would prefer we focus on that message instead. Graham lived a simple life
BILLY GRAHAM in Montreat with his family. He was paid a pastor’s salary and never wanted anything more. He was only the messenger. It was the message that mattered. In a way, Rev. Graham was the Moses of our generation. He met with leaders and shared the message God gave him. He wasn’t always popular, but he never shirked the responsibility. He was fearless. He spoke from his heart and didn’t worry how leaders might react. He didn’t serve them. When questioned in an interview regarding his own death, Graham paraphrased a quote from Dwight L. Moody, “Someday you will read or hear that Billy Graham is dead. Don’t you believe a word of it. I shall be more alive than I am now. I will just have changed my address. I will have gone into the presence of God.” See MOSES, Page 7A

‘BRO’ CHIP From Page 1A comment on the one known by all members as “Bro. Chip”. He referred to the pastor as one who not only excels in preaching the Word, “he is also one who walks the walk.’ Jordan went on to challenge the Pastor to begin writing a book for ministers about various ways to administer the Lord’s Supper. It has been a mark of Dr. Sloan’s pastorate to perform the quarterly remembrance in a variety of different ways to make it more meaningful to the congregation. Pre-school Director Jackie Fisher recognized the Pastor’s encouraging role in helping her to decide to take on the position as the coordinator for the young children’s ministry. She also noted that "Bro. Chip’s heart for the children is evident,” mentioning varying ways that “his office is always open to the children”. The Pastor welcomes the children to come to his office after Sunday School to say hi to them, quote a scripture passage and get a piece of candy. Rev. Jason Mills is the Student Pastor at First Baptist and spoke of the delightful “partnership in ministry” as being one of the church’s strongest assets. He described Bro. Chip and his wife Martha as a team of “personal servants”. Using his own child’s teddy bear as an object lesson of personal closeness and security, Mills stated that "in action and in prayer, Bro. Chip and Martha are examples of self-less support”. Discipleship Pastor Rev. Shane Doty gave a

The front of First Baptist Newsletter February 17, 1988 number of examples of how his years of ministry under Pastor Sloan’s guidance “stretched me out of my comfort zone,” while at the same time “he allowed me to be me.” He highlighted the many opportunities he had to see Sloan in personal ministry, especially in the youth events that Doty had orchestrated (he first came to the church as Youth Minister). “He didn’t just go on our youth trips and teach; he also got out there and played in the recreation with the young people.” Mentioning the value lesson of youth being able to see the Pastor and his wife walking along the beach hand-inhand, Doty stressed the impacting example of family that was evident in the Sloans’ life. Dr. Jonathan Bundon, Worship Pastor at First Baptist, acknowledged the unity of the church staff under Dr. Sloan’s direction. “Such an atmosphere of friendship, community
and family starts with the example of our servant leader.” As with each of the other ministers, Bundon noted times of both great humor and great sensitivity during the days of laboring together. He lauded Sloan’s commitment to the Lord above personal benefit. “You can be sure that he will give you what the Lord gives him. He strives to do what is right, not what is comfortable to him.” The church’s Mission Pastor, Rev. Jeff Johnson, described Sloan as “mentor, leader and father-figure” who “always has my back”. Johnson compared their relationship as a “Paul – Timothy” bond (in reference to the Apostle Paul who took Timothy under his wing to help guide him in the ministry of the early church). Johnson recognized the relationship of “Bro. Chip and Martha” as being of significant influence to all of the church family. “It seems that they should
always be mentioned together because of their example.” With personal commentary of the impact of Dr. Sloan’s ministry, Jay Rhodes, Chairman of the Deacon Committee, handed a gift check to the Pastor and invited
his response to the assembly. As one a bit uncomfortable with public acclaim, Sloan referred to the evening as “It’s like I got to attend my own funeral without having to die first!” Martha observed the fellowship as being “the best church in
America” and attributed the decades of service to “the partnership between you and us and God” As a team, Bro. Chip and Martha stated, “We praise God for these thirty years – and we’re ready for thirty more!"

TODAY’S QUOTE:
God is more interested in your future and your relationships than you are. –Billy Graham
Ronnie Hawkins ‘Number I Sky King” Because Libby Hawkins knew her husband loved to pilot his “Number I Lib Stewart Managing Editor Sky King,’’ she is sponsoring the Little Theatre production of “Amelia Earhart, Flights of Fancy” at the Joy Theatre. Libby hasn’t missed a night during the show and helps out in the box office. Libby’s story about her Pilot husband is included in the Playbill, along with photographs. Ronnie’s love of planes began when Mayor Glee A. Bridg-
es flew around Kings Mountain throwing bubble gum out of his plane and Ronnie began watching Sky King on TV in the 1950s. In November 1982 Ronnie started taking flying lessons and to help pay for them he pumped gas at the Shelby Airport. He got his private license in April 1983 and his instrument rating in 1986. In May 1988 he and his flying partner Ken Riddle bought a Cessna 172. He joined the Civil Air Patrol in 1987, working with the Cadets and flying many search and rescue missions looking for downed planes. Two of the Cadets he took to Civil Air Patrol meetings and flew with them became career pilots, Joseph Maner and Ben Connor. Other missions he helped with included flying a US Marshall
RONNIE AND LIBBY HAWKINS around looking for a fugitive and flying a policeman around looking for drowning victims at Moss Lake. He also took Senator Ollie Harris up in 1989 to look at the tornado damage in Upper Cleveland County. In September 2005 Hurricane Katrina hit Laurel, MS and the city of Shelby adopted that town. Ronnie flew
Ron Schaeffer and Mayor Ted Alexander to Laurel to they could talk to officials and help organize assistance when they returned to Cleveland County. Libby said she and Ronnie were flying to Delaware to visit Jane and Jeff Redmond in November 1998 and the oil pressure dropped to zero and the engine started losing power. Ronnie shut off the engine so he could make the propeller parallel to the ground in case they had to land in a field. Luckily, they were 10 miles from an airport and at 5000 feet altitude so they glided right down the runway and a little off the ramp at Cambridge, Maryland Airport. “We had just flown over the Chesapeake Bay,’’ she said, adding, “We were thankful to be
LETTERS TO EDITOR By BEAUFORD BURTON To the Editor: Personally I may be better off without news. Seriously, BURTON if I could get the news without the commentary I would have peace of mind because I wouldn’t have to hear some of the ridiculous remarks. The school shooting in Florida was an awful event as are all human tragedies. We always want to know how it could have been prevented. The real news is that it wasn’t prevented and it did happen and other tragedies will occur until our Lord calls us home. How to prevent another event like the latest will be debated a long time, yet I can tell you that guns didn’t cause the horrible loss of life, another life caused it because we are prone to evil. Tearing down the school is a waste of money and young people need to face their fear or forever walk in it. I heard one individual say that school age children should be able to stay home and take classes over the internet, doing away with schools and the dangers and on the surface it sounds like a good idea but many
families can’t afford to stay home with their children. If you’re looking for a solution turn to God and allow Him to fight for you. Russians indicted because they interfered with our election, yet they can’t find anyone who voted for Trump or Sanders because of the Russians. Funny investigation, funny outcome. The news was that the Russians helped disseminate information that may have caused distrust in some candidates such as Hillary Clinton. Surely no one would have known that Hillary should be mistrusted from her previous history. As I said, funny. We’ve all heard news of the monies some Congress members manage to acquire over their careers as members and it’s not a trifling amount. I do have an idea of how that can be corrected but no lawmaker will ever offer it and even if they did it wouldn’t pass. My idea is to do make it a felony for any member of Congress to accept money from any source other than their government paycheck and a felony for any of them to invest in anything other than government bonds or mutual funds.
To the Editor: I’m not saying ban guns. Let me state that right off the top but people like me with mental issues shouldn’t be allowed to have guns. Kids should not be allowed to buy guns until they are 21. They can’t
buy cigarettes and beer so why are they allowed to go to a gun show or a pawn shop and buy a AR-15.? A teacher with guns is wrong and dangerous.

To the Editor: There are times when some attack me when they have not fully analyzed the issues. One of those times KELLY arose when HASTINGS we debated eliminating part of North Carolina’s Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard (REPS), which was law long before I became a representative. In short, it requires a small percentage of electric power sold to retail electric customers to be from “renewable” sources. Eliminating REPS while the Obama administration was still in place could have been disastrous. The following can be attributed to a then-senior legislative analyst: Representative Hastings, This email follows up
our conversation earlier today. Based on my understanding of both the timing and application of the federal Clean Power Plan (CPP or Plan), I believe it is fair to say that the proposals to repeal the State’s REPS could interfere with North Carolina’s ability to fulfill the mandates in the CPP. I would note that on February 9, 2016, the U.S. Supreme Court stayed the implementation of the Clean Power Plan pending judicial review. When H681 was debated in April of the 2015 Session Regular Session, the proposed rules for the CPP were still being finalized so any changes to REPS could have impacted North Carolina’s implementation of the Plan. Please feel free to contact me if I may be of additional assistance. I did not vote in favor of the original H.B. 681 See HASTINGS, Page 7A

■ MEDITATION
Searching for a Lost Child I believe the will of the Father, Son, and Spirit for us is that we would know what Jesus knows, that we would see what Jesus sees, and that Rev. we would Jill Rhinehart experience Pastor Central United what Jesus Methodist Church experiences when he looks his Father in the face. - C. Baxter Kruger, Ph.D, The Shack Revisited The Shack Revisited is a book written by C. Baxter Kruger. In the book Kruger delves into the theological aspects of
the book The Shack written by William Paul Young. I would highly recommend the book and especially recommend it as a book to read as a group so that each chapter can be discussed. It has a lot of great discussion topics. In The Shack Revisited, Chapter 4, Kruger tells of a time when he was separated from his parents at age 12 while visiting the city of New Orleans, LA. For several hours, he could not find his parents. Kruger talks about the fear of being lost and the panic that engulfed every aspect of his being. It took the entire day until finally in a distance, Kruger hears his father’s voice yell, “Baxter!” In that small moment great joy, peace and relief
filled him. Kruger knew he was safe again. He knew he was no longer lost. Kruger goes on to explain that this is the same way God calls out to us in our own lives when we feel separated from God. We experience fear, sadness, and uncertainty of our future. We search for purpose, worth, and meaning but within the trials and tribulations of this world we struggle to hear the voice of God calling out our name. Some people even give up or no longer remember what their father’s voice sounds like anymore. Yet God never stops calling and searching for a personal relationship with each one of his beloved children. God desires for us to have that same unity and security Jesus has with
God. When my daughter Kinsey was a little girl, I took her to Belk’s for a dress. While we were there, she wandered off by herself without me noticing. I remember it only took a moment and she was gone. I panicked! At first I began searching close by calling out her name in a normal voice, trying not to sound afraid. I couldn’t believe she had gone so far away in such a short time. I hoped she was only playing with me and hiding in one of the clothes racks. So I searched and peeked in all of the clothes racks as well as underneath them. I hoped I would see her feet. I wanted to hear a little giggle or her to call out, “Momma.” But there was only silence. The longer I looked, the more panicked I became. Horrible thoughts kept going through my mind. I told myself that I was a terrible mother for allowing her to wander off. I ridiculed myself
Page 5A for not protecting her. I knew that she must have been terrified, unable to find me as well. In each moment that passed, my voice got louder and louder, hollering her name, “Kinsey – Kinsey, where are you?” We were only separated from each other for a few minutes but it seemed like hours to me. Finally, over the loudspeakera in the store I heard a man announce that a little girl named Kinsey had been found and she could be picked up in the store office. When I heard this, a feeling of great relief came over me and I ran to the office. To my dismay, the office had moved and I had no idea where it was. While I searched for it, again feeling horrible that I could not get to my daughter, I heard over the speaker that I should go to the cosmetic department. There Kinsey sat, coloring. She was surrounded and protected by a few of the Belk’s staff. I was, to put it lightly, relieved. As I thought of Kruger’s story of being lost and the relief he felt when he was finally found
by his father, I also thought of the how I felt when my child was lost. No matter what I did, I could not find her. The desperation, fear, and panic that coursed through my body was overwhelming. Through the story and my experience, I understood how God must feel when we feel separated from our creator. God calls out and for some reason, we do not hear him. We may even walk in a totally different direction to be still further away from God’s perfect love and embrace. “The truth is that Jesus has crossed all worlds to find us.” (Kruger, The Shack Revisited, pg. 49) Yet, we have to allow ourselves to hear the voice of God calling our names. God will never lose hope for a close relationship with each one of us. Open your heart so you may hear the voice of God calling out for you to come home. Luke 15:6b “Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.”

BIBLE VERSES OF THE WEEK “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” Mark 11:22-25

EARHART From Page 1A no proof of Earhart’s fate exists. In a letter to her husband, written in case a dangerous flight proved to be fatal, she said, “I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others.” The director has weaved her story expertly with flashbacks Amelia has flying in a small and cramped cockpit for 15 hours in a storm from her girlhood in Kansas ( played by Ana Faithe Allen) her alcoholic father played by Kevin L. Burke (who directs the next Little Theatre show) and her mother played by Autumn Bolton and sister played by Leanna Cook Daley to famous figures
GRAHAM From Page 4A gate for just a bit.” The longer I stood there touching that gate, the more tears filled my eyes. My thoughts were, “Oh God if I could just be one percent of the person that Billy Graham is then I would be hundred times more and better than I am today.” I have to say it was a profound moment of my life. Finally I backed away from the gate, got in the car and we drove quietly down the mountain road. What was it about Billy Graham? He was one single person who impacted the planet by everything that he said and did. Many years ago, there was another great preacher by the name of Dwight L. Moody. Moody was said to have shaken two continents for Jesus Christ. Moody is often remembered for saying, “The world has yet to see what God can do with a man fully consecrated to Him. By God’s help, I aim to be that man. By God’s grace I will be that man,” he said. I believe history will attest that Moody became that man. Graham in every way, and even more, became that man Moody aspired to be as well. The Bible tells a story of a woman who had been sick for many years. She had heard that Jesus would be passing by. She did everything to get close to Jesus because she just wanted to touch him. When she did, she was healed and Jesus knew that power had gone out of him to heal the woman. Jesus said, “Your faith has made you well.” Millions of people have had life changing experiences because of Billy Graham. Yet,
she met and funny scenes with a Keystone Cops type chase and women in Roaring 20s costumes, famous women pilots, including one who called her “a fake” and her wedding scene and landing in a Mexico town where she meets a 13-yearold who idolizes her (Mary B) played by Hannah Hood. The story of the great American icon for women is directed by Jim Chandler, who has directed productions in Gastonia and Shelby. As an actor he has been in 120 productions in various venues and has appeared as an actor in more Little Theatre of Gastonia productions (56) than anyone else in Gastonia Little Theatre history. Audiences will quickly see that “Amelia Earhart, Flights of Fancy” is not an easy production to stage. Chandler and all the stage
Graham would be the first to declare that he was simply the messenger. He had a message of pointing people to Jesus Christ. In essence what made Graham so attractive was that he pointed people to the one far greater than he. He preached a simple Bible message of God’s love and about an old rugged cross where Jesus died for the sins of the world. He preached about a wonderful place called heaven. Because of Graham’s simple message and beautiful Christ-filled life he became America’s pastor who many of us grew up loving to hear. I heard Graham preach several times in Cincinnati, Louisville and Atlanta. My oldest son and I heard him right after he had a fainting spell in Toronto. Word about his failing health was spreading. Graham came on to Atlanta to preach where about 8,000 of us where gathered in the Georgia Dome. He was 80 years old when he marched into that stadium and strongly stood on that platform and powerfully brought his inspiring message. What a day, what a day that was. What a day it will be when Jesus we shall see. What a day it will also be whenever I get to meet Billy Graham. If anybody is in heaven it surely is Billy Graham. By God’s grace and mercy, when I get to heaven I’m going to try again to find him and shake his hand. Of course I will try to find his famous singer George Beverly Shea and also shake hands with him. Dr. Glenn Mollette is the author of 12 books. His syndicated column is read in all 50 states.

HART From Page 4A on Friday, February 23. “The Hush” is another big risk for Hart because it breaks two significant traditions or rules of writing that have guided his prior work. First, until now there have been no sequels to his books. Each was independent from the others. They held together as a series only in their common geography. All took place in the real Rowan County or a fictional, but very similar, Raven County. “The Hush,” however, is a real sequel to “The Last Child,” a book Hart declares to be his favorite of all his prior books. “The Last Child” featured 13-year-old
HASTINGS From Page 4A in 2015, but I voted for the consensus language that was negotiated and inserted into the then-regulatory reform bill; the compromise made more sense at the time because I did not want to provoke the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which was controlled by then-President Obama, to take over our state’s energy policy. As set forth in the federal Clean Power Plan (CPP) policy, they could have taken control if we did not have a plan in place. It is worthy of note that the state Senate did not move forward with a complete repeal of REPS either. Their attorneys, staff members and members of the Senate

Johnny Merrimon, whose unrelenting search for his missing sister made him an admired but traumatized hero. The Johnny that readers meet in “The Hush” is 10 years older, still tough and determined, but now living alone and isolated on a 6,000-acre tract of swampland, which he loves and protects from outsiders. Hart says that “The Hush” stands on its own, but that readers of “The Last Child” will have an enhanced experience. Hart still takes the small risk faced by every sequel writer that new readers may miss some important connective links from the earlier book. The second and greater risk that Hart takes with the new book involves the swampy land where Johnny lives. Johnny owns the
6,000 acres, but cash-wise he is broke. His title to the land is being challenged by an African-American family who lived on the land for many years and whose claim is based on a deed from 1853. Johnny turns to his buddy Jack from “The Last Child” to help. Jack is a new lawyer in a large firm that discourages his connection to Johnny, especially when Johnny is suspected in unexplained deaths on his property. The land has a troubling history and dangerous powers, inexplicable ones that become core features of the book and its ultimate resolution. In a word, think “supernatural.” All of Hart’s prior books have followed strict rules used by many mystery and
thriller writers. The deaths and crimes in their books, when solved, have natural explanations and do not rely on the intervention of some spiritual or unreal power. Hart is betting that the richness of his characters, his compelling storytelling, and the story’s supernatural landscape will hold his thriller fans despite breaking his old rules. Taking this risk, he hopes, will expand his appeal and share his storytelling talent with an even wider audience. The complex and rich stories in “The Hush” and the book’s supernatural but satisfying conclusion suggest that he is on the right track. D.G.

probably understood what I understood. Completely eliminating REPS, or approving the original version of H.B. 681 in 2015, could have goaded the federal EPA to figuratively put their boots on our necks. On or about October 10, 2017, the EPA controlled by our new president filed a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, in the Federal Register, proposing to rescind former President Obama’s CPP. This filing started a 60-day public comment period. EPA based the decision to rescind the CPP on three significant grounds. They maintain that CPP is inconsistent with the 1970 Clean Air Act, that the CPP violated states’ authority to decide the best mix of power generation within their borders, and that enforcement of CPP would
have a devastating effect on jobs and hike energy costs while having virtually no effect on “climate change.” Their reasoning is basically the same as mine. On a related matter that affects municipalities in our area and ElectriCities of North Carolina, Inc., we asked if a similar transaction like the acquisition of the North Carolina Eastern Municipal Power Agency by Duke Energy Progress would be feasible. This could help lower the power bills for customers in Shelby, Cherryville, Gastonia and other cities. It is possible, but there must be a willing buyer and we are not aware of a buyer for the relevant power agency in our area. As a former chairman of the Energy Independence and Alternative Fuels Committee, former
member of the Environment Committee, and current member of the Energy and Public Utilities Committee, I listen to many experts about energy security, exploration, and other related issues. Everyone can rest assured that I am fighting for common-sense energy exploration and environmental policies that are based on science, not emotion. To protect our state’s rights, meaning the people’s rights, I could not support H.B. 681 in its original form. At the time, my vote helped ensure lower energy prices and protected North Carolinians from a federal takeover by then-President Obama’s EPA. Rep. Kelly Hastings The 110th House District of North Carolina

Town Planner visiting businesses Ministers meet “Your solution for downtown is not like any other cities but Kings Mountain has potential,’’ Rick Flowe, town planner, said at a meeting Friday morning of representatives of the Main Street and outlying areas. Flowe said he will be visiting every business in the area and talking one-onone with business owners until sometime in June. He was walking and visiting in the downtown area all day Friday but you may see him on a bicycle too. “You need a blueprint and doing nothing is not an option,’’ he said. Jewel Reavis of Southern Arts Society at the Depot and Stella Putnam wanted to know how non-profits are included in the overall plan for downtown development
and revitalization. County commissioner Susan Allen, along with Bob Daves of the Cleveland County Chamber, Jackie Sibley Newton of Cleveland County Tourism, and Mayor Scott Neisler were among guests. “The process of one-onone with business owners will give us answers to what we cab do to beef-up downtown and also let us know how they feel about the Main Street program,’’ said the mayor. Retired planning director for the City of Kings Mountain Gene White asked about the successes of In Focus Planning & Design which Flowe represents and Flowe said Forest City was a success example and mentioned other cities.

KM falls to Smith, ends year 24-6 Zeke Littlejohn’s three pointer gave Kings Mountain a quick 3-0 lead, but it was all Ben L. Smith after that as the Mountaineers saw their season end in an 85-65 loss to the Golden Eagles in the third round of the state 3A playoffs Saturday night in Greensboro. The loss ended one of the
Mountaineers’ best seasons ever with a 24-6 overall record, falling two wins short of the school mark. It was the second 20-plus win season in the past three years for Coach Grayson Pierce’s charges, who were 20-9 in 2016. The Mountaineers went 19-10 last season, giving them 63 wins over the
past three seasons. Before going 2-1 in this year’s playoffs, the Mountaineers ran through the strong Big South 3A Conference with a 13-1 record and then took three more victories over BSC teams to win the conference tournament. They defeated Piedmont and Concord in their
previous two state tournament games. At Greensboro, the Mountaineers ran into one of the tallest and hottest shooting teams in the state. The Golden Eagles went into the contest as the eighth ranked team overall (including all classifications) in the state. They carried a sea-
son record of 27-3 into last night’s battle with Hickory for a berth in the Western Regional championship. Smith’s size was a determining factor, but its shooting accuracy was also a big killer. The Golden Eagles hit 14 of 23 shots from three-point land and 18 of 30 of their two-pointers.
Leading the way was 6-6 Isaiah Bigelow, who had five threes included in his game-high total of 30 points, and Jacob Crutchfield, whose five threes accounted for all 15 of his points. Kings Mountain placed all five of its starters in See KM FALLS, Page 2B

Five in double figures in win over Piedmont Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers saw one of the best players they’ve seen this season when 6-8 Piedmont senior and Clemson recruit Hunter Tyson and his teammates came to town Tuesday for the first round of the state 3A playoffs. Tyson gunned a threepointer from behind the key to get the Panthers off to a quick 3-0 lead and continued the strip the nets for 39 points, but they weren’t nearly enough as the Mountaineers rolled to an 87-68 victory. While Piedmont had only one other player in double figures – Camden Baucom with 15 – the Mountaineers put up a balanced attack that saw all five of their starters hit double digits. The Mountaineers as a whole were
just deadly as Tyson from the field, hitting 21 of 37 two-point field goals (57 percent) and 12 of 20 threes (60 percent). From that early deficit the Mountaineers got threes from Adrian Delph and Dontavius Hughes to tie the game at 6-all, and Eli Paysour with a bucket under pressure for an 8-6 lead that Kings Mountain never relinquished. The Mountaineers went on to lead by 21-11 after the first quarter, 39-27 at the half and 59-49 going into the fourth quarter. Piedmont did mount a rally in the final period, slicing the Mountaineers’ lead to 68-63 with four minutes remaining. But freshman Kobe Paysour and his teammates decided that was close enough and the Mountaineers went on a
21-5 run the rest of the way to turn the game into a rout. Paysour scored 12 of his 17 points during the run, including 3-of-3 from the floor and 4-for-4 from the foul line. He also stole the ball several times and grabbed three of his six rebounds. He also finished with eight assists. Delph also came up big at the end, hitting 4-for-4 from the line and playing an excellent floor game. He finished with 17 points, seven boards and eight assists. Joining them in double figures were Zeke Littlejohn with 18 points, Hughes 15 and Eli Paysour 12. John Harmon Melton came off the bench to help battle Piedmont’s big men inside and he also contributed See FIVE, Page 2B
Kings Mountain surprised Concord with a full-court press to open the game and rolled to a 77-43 victory in the second round of the state 3A playoffs Thursday night at Parker Gym. Zeke Littlejohn stole the ball and raced in for an old-fashioned three-point play on the first play of the game, and Adrian Delph came up with two steals and buckets for a 7-0 lead. The Mountaineers did hit a cold spell that lasted for over four minutes, but still managed to lead 17-16 at the end of the first quarter. That’s as close as the Spiders would come as the game quickly turned into a blowout in the second quarter. With Eli Paysour hitting 10 of his 12 points in the second period, and Delph adding eight for a first half total of 19, the score ballooned to 41-19 at intermission. By the end of the third period it was 62-30, Mountaineers. With reserves in the game much of the second half, the score continued to skyrocket

ting average. He led the Wildcats to four victories, including a 3-1 win over Wake Forest. Three of his hits were home runs, including one grand slam, and he drove in 17 runs which is a school record for a single week. Jones moved to catcher – his natural position – after playing third base last season. He was one of the leaders of the Wildcat team
that ousted favored North Carolina from the NCAA playoffs. Jones hit two of his home runs in the Wildcats’ double header sweep of Georgetown. His first collegiate grand slam came off the Hoyas’ All-American Cape Cod League reliever. Jones’ multi-homer game was his third as a Wildcat. Jones and his teammates set a school re-
cord with seven home runs in a single game. Jones drove in two runs against Wake, three in Friday’s game, five on Saturday and seven Sunday. Jones was selected to the 2017 A-10 All-Championship team and fell one shy of the tournament record with a 1.308 slugging percentage and a .556 onbase average. Davidson won all four
of its contests by a margin of 38-15 in running its overall record to 6-1 heading into a game yesterday at Greensboro A&T. Jones leads the league in RBI, is tied with teammate Brett Centracchio for the league lead in homers, is second in slugging percentage (.870) and is ranked in the Top Ten with a .391 batting average.
Patriots make TC playoffs Kings Mountain Middle School’s boys basketball team defeated East Lincoln in a special playoff game Thursday to advance to the Tri-County Conference championship playoffs. The Patriots were at Crest Tuesday for a first round battle. The winner will advance to the championship Thursday against the winner of the Shelby-North Lincoln game. In earlier games last week, the Patriots defeated a scrappy West Lincoln team 57-31 to go into the playoffs with a 7-3 Eastern Division and 7-7 overall record. The KM girls defeated West Lincoln 38-32 to wrap up their season with a 6-4 division record and 7-7 overall mark. Khalia King had her best game of the season with 22 points to pace the Lady Patriots attack. Andrea Melton added nine, Aaleyiah Byers five and Monica Head two. Playing well on defense were Austyn Dixon, Alayna Patrick and Tyasyia Bell. The Patriots fell behind 8-1 to the West Lincoln team but rallied to trail by only 9-8 at the end of the first quarter.
Kings Mountain tied the game at 12-all in the first minute of the second quarter, then finished on a 19-4 run to lead 31-16 at the half. The third quarter saw the Patriots extend their lead to as many as 25 points and they led 50-25 going into the final period. Leading the way for the Patriots was Isaiah Tate with 24 points, which included 7-for-13 from twopoint land and 2-for-3 from beyond the arc. He also contributed four rebounds and three assists. Zeke Cannedy scored 19 points, including four threes, and he also grabbed three rebounds. DeAndre Hoyle had seven points, 10 boards and five steals; Rashaard Brooks five points, eight boards, for assists and two blocks; Jermaine Delph two points, AJ Richardson four rebounds, and Jake Lloyd and Dylan Platt to steals apiece. Kings Mountain stole the ball 16 times and grabbed 36 rebounds.

goal and the Mountaineer lead was suddenly 36-22. Piedmont had brief rallies after that but the KM lead stayed at nine points or more until the fourth quarter when the Panthers managed their one last rally. KM (87) – Delph 17, Littlejohn 18, E.

After Littlejohn’s opening basket, the Golden Eagles went on a 9-0 run to take the lead for good. A three by Eli Pasyour and two Littlejohn free throws got the Mountaineers to within 9-8 before the Eagles widened the gap to 22-16 after the first period.

Organization seeks to serve foster care families Foster children in Cleveland County now have a new resource. Least of These Carolinas (LOTC), an organization that started in Gaston County, has expanded services into Cleveland and other neighboring counties to provide a source of hope to children entering the foster care system. “Our largest program in Cleveland County is the Bag of Hope Program,” says Landon Bailey, LOTC special projects director. A “Bag of Hope” is a duffel bag filled with a variety of items and given to a child in foster care. “When the child comes into foster care we are given that child’s first name and a list of items they need or want,” says Bailey. Each bag is specifically designed for that particular child and includes an age-appropriate Bible and a special note from an LOTC volunteer. “Our goal is to get these bags ready within a week of a child coming into care,” says Bailey. “These bags are just a start in restoring hope and giving back a piece of what the child has lost.” Local foster families and anyone interested in learning more about LOTC are encouraged to attend a special event called “Night of Hope” at Aldersgate United Methodist Church on Friday, Feb. 23, 2018 from 6:30-9 p.m. The event costs $25 per ticket and includes a buffetstyle meal, a silent auction and live musical entertainment, along with keynote speaker Dr. John DeGarmo, an international foster care expert and consultant. “Guests will also have the opportunity to hear the background story of our organization told by those we have directly affected: foster-care youth and fostercare parents,” says Bailey. Least of These Carolinas was formed in the fall of 2012 when Susanna Kavanaugh and Michelle Buchanan united to be a voice for a child in foster care. “They realized shortly thereafter that God had brought them together not for one child, but for many,” says Bailey. “These women both have a passion and a heart for the hurting children and families involved in foster care.”
In March 2013, the Least of These Gaston Inc. was founded, and in May 2015 the organization began doing business as Least of These Carolinas as the group expanded its reach into other counties. For more information about LOTC, visit the group’s web site at www.lotcarolinas. com. Anyone interested in attending the event should call the LOTC office at 704215-4344.
Patriots edge East 48-47 KM kickers lose opener to advance to playoffs Kings Mountain High’s women’s soccer team opened its season Monday night at home with a 3-2 loss
30-23 heading into halftime. In the 3rd period East Lincoln made a run by out-scoring the Pats 16-10 to only trail 40-39 going into the final session. The fourth quarter saw both teams feeling the pressure of the elimination game, as game was locked up at 46all with 35 seconds to go. The Patriots decided to go for the last shot and with 1.4 seconds to go KM’s Isaiah Tate was fouled on a three point shot. He made one to give KM victory. Leading the way for KM was Isaiah Tate with
18 points (3 rebounds, 3 assists), Zeke Cannedy 18 points (5 for 8 shooting, 3 for 6 from 3’s, 5 for 5 from free throw line, 4 rebounds, 2 steals), Rashaard Brooks four points (9 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 steals), DeAndre Hoyle seven points (7 rebounds, 2 steals), AJ Richardson one point.
