Mt. Holly council meeting one of recognition and remembrance By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com
Last week's meeting of the Mt. Holly city council saw two council members sworn in, two outgoing members awarded plaques for many years on the council, a plethora of employees honored for length of service, and former assistant city manager the late Jamie Guffey remembered for his loyal service and engaging personality District Judge Jesse Caldwell swore in council newcomer Charles McCorkle and reelected incumbent David Moore. “The first thing I want to do as a new council member is to become acclimated to what is going on in the city,” McCorkle said. “I want to blend in and work as a team member.” Outgoing council members Jerry Bishop and Jim Hope were given awards and heartfelt words of appreciation as they stepped down. Bishop had served on the council since 2005 and was MHPD chief from 1989 to 1999. Bishop's other involvements in Mt. Holly included serving as a volunteer
fireman for 18 years. As a member of the police department, he led development of the city 911 system, the School Resource Officer program, Bike Patrol, and in car computer and camera systems. Hope led many efforts to improve the quality of life for Mt. Holly citizens including picking up the torch Phyllis Harris lit concerning a greenway in town. Hope was on the council for 25 years. Hope worked tirelessly on the Downtown Streetscape project, expansion of Tuckaseegee Park, Headquarters Fire Department, and construction of the new Public Works Complex and North Fire Station. Prior to the council meeting, city officials past and present, as well as friends and family, of the late Jamie Guffey gathered for a ceremony dedicating and naming the upper floor offices of the Municipal Complex in his honor. Guffey passed away unexpectedly on December 18, 2015. He had been awarded a plaque by the City of Mt. Holly for 15 years of service just four days prior. New incoming Mt. Holly city council member Charles McCorkle was sworn in last Monday by Judge Jesse Caldwell. McCorkle was joined by his wife Angie and family including grandson Channing McPhoto by Alan Hodge See MT.

New K9 team at Belmont PD shaping up to be a great one By Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com
There's a new K9 team at the Belmont Police Department and it's looking good. The dynamic duo consists of Officer Kreston Seigler and his K9 “Max”. The pair have been together now for about a month, getting to know each other, and preparing to serve the citizens of Belmont. Seigler, 26, has been with Belmont PD for 4 ½ years. A native of South Gastonia, he earned his Basic Law Enforcement certificate from Gaston College in 2012 and is working on an Associate Degree in Criminal Justice. He and his Belmont PD K9 handler Officer Kreston Seigler and his wife Anna have been married new dog Max are getting to know each other and grow as just over a year. a top notch crime-fighting team. So, what attracted Seigler to Photo by Alan Hodge

the K9 side of policing? “I've always been interested in K9,” Seigler said. “I had a cousin who was a K9 officer on the Gaston County Police and an uncle who is K9 at Kings Mtn. Police. I went to the previous Belmont K9 officer Kevin Wingate and told him I was interested.” Seigler started with the recently retired K9 “Dutch”. “I went to CMPD and trained with Dutch for six weeks,” said Seigler. “He taught me a lot.” Then Max came on the Belmont scene. His previous owner, Calvin Dixon of Gastonia, had health issues and donated Max to Belmont PD. Max is about a
One of American history's most controversial mysterieswho the biological father of Abraham Lincoln actually washas roots in a Belmont neighborhood. In the early part of the 19th century, Lincoln’s mother, Nancy Hanks, as well as her mother Mandy and sister Lucy, are said to have not only spent time in what would eventually become Belmont, but according to some folks conceive Abe while she was in this part of Gaston County- with someone other than Tom Lincoln, Abe’s “legal” daddy. As a girl in the early 19th century, Nancy and the other girls supposedly visited her uncle Dicky Hanks who lived on land off what is now South Point Rd. To commemorate that time, there’s a stone and bronze marker on the site where Uncle Dicky’s log cabin is said to have stood. The monument is at the very end of Hanks Creek Lane off Dorie Drive in the Pinsto development near South Point High School. The marker was put up in 1923 by descendants of C. T. Stowe, namely Samuel Pinckney Stowe, who at that time

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Christmas through a Child’s Eyes by Lisa Harper In the pace of the race, a child sees a Christmas shop window. While mother is talking, quietly he goes. In a snowy window pane there was the most wonderful Christmas scene to behold. There are only a few days until Christmas, and we are busy decorating the house. Putting up a tree with a child is both fun and challenging. They want to help with everything! But, all of it is worth the work when they wake up Christmas morning to find that one toy that they have been dreaming about for months. Although our son is all grown up, the excitement and anticipation of Christmas is still just as strong. As we decorated our tree this afternoon, it stirred up many emotions from years gone by. I look back now on the many Christmas celebrations when I was a child. I can picture my grandmother, uncle, and mother scrambling around the kitchen, trying to move even a muscle with all the food and extra people strolling in and out. The sheer volume of food that could come from our kitchen was amazing. It was a time of year that my sister and I got to see many family members that lived far away. While there have been many years between now and the times of my favorite holiday memories, they are as vivid as the day they occurred. Sadly, most of the people in my memories no longer grace this earth with their being. Yet the memories that I have; the ones that I hold so near and dear, are memories that I hope every child in this world could experience. Not one of these memories involves a present, in the traditional idea of a toy or clothing, but both were always plentiful. My memories revolve around the people, the sheer number of them, the noise, the tree, the food, and most importantly the feeling of togetherness on one very special day. Please remember that while the “perfect gift” is always anticipated, the memories of the time shared together are forever. So make the most of that time because, take it from me, memories warm the soul and ease the pain of loss- something a material object will never be able to do. During this holiday season, love your families, experience each moment, and remember what makes the holidays so special to you. As a child you never think about your childhood memories until you’re all grown up and you start to reminisce. As I prepare for another Christmas, I know that it will bring more special memories yet to come. So as you celebrate this season, may the smile of a child bring to you a reminder of what this special time of year is truly all about. Maybe it would benefit all us adults if we step back from our strict schedules, written out itineraries, and other items that cause us stress and just sit back and enjoy. That’s right, step back and enjoy the holiday for what it is to you. Enjoy the family and friends you are spending the holiday with as it is happening. Remember that once the moment is gone you will never get it back again. The excited chatter of children, Give the home a joyous sound. They love their life at Christmas, and wish it could last year round. Merry Christmas to you….
For the 68th year, McAdenville’s Yule Log Parade and Ceremony, was held Friday night December 15. Each year, residents and visitors follow the Yule Log which is pulled by children on a sled through town to Legacy Park located on Elm Street in downtown McAdenville. Once the log is positioned in the open fireplace it is ignited. Following the lighting of the Yule Log, the Christmas Town Festival begins. The festival is a fun night for all, filled with music of the season provided by area schools, church choirs and the Gaston Symphonic Band. And yes...Santa was in attendance too. Lighting the Yule Log this year was L – R Joyce Henkel, Dick Roberts Catherine Ann Carstarphen and Steve Rankin.For more information about Christmas Town USA... www.mcadenville-christmastown.com./ Photo by Roxann Rankin

LINCOLN from page 1 owned the land where the cabin was situated, and features the bas relief of a cabin and rail fence. Words inscribed on the plaque read, “This stone marks the site of the log cabin home of Dicky Hanks, an uncle of Nancy
Hanks, mother of Abraham Lincoln. Nancy spent much of her girlhood with her uncle.” The rock that forms the base of the monument was supposedly dragged to the spot by mules and, according to author and historian the late Minnie Stowe Puett, was placed where the chimney to Uncle Dicky’s cabin was located.

Hanks Creek runs near the monument and prompted Puett to describe the pastoral scene. “At the foot of the hill, under the spreading beeches, still bubbles the family spring where Nancy often quenched her thirst,” Puett wrote. Uncle Dicky was said to often quench his thirst too, but not with water, and is referred to in some texts as a “shiftless sort of fellow.” The tale of Nancy’s activities in our area is as tangled as the whiskers in her son’s beard and the fate of the cabin likewise. As far as the cabin goes, in his book “Between Two Rivers”, author Ross Yockey quotes Puett as saying the cabin was bought by a man named Sam Ewing who used the logs to construct a granary. In turn, the granary was torn down and the logs recycled by C.T. Stowe for a cotton shed. Legette Blythe’s book “Robert Lee Stowe: Pioneer in Textiles” declares that the cabin was moved from its original spot on “Uncle Sammy” Stowe’s to land at another Stowe home where it sat for years before eventually being sheltered by a shed. An undated, black and white photo of what is purported to be the cabin appears in Blythe’s book. Then there’s Nancy’s Belmont area love life. As far as Nancy and the possibility that she became pregnant with Abe during her Gaston County days, that tale too has taken on folkloric proportions. One theory is that Adam Springs of McAden- Belmont author and historian Jack Page remembers camping near the Hanks ville is the father of Abe. Folks that follow that line monument when it was in the woods long before any houses were built of thinking point out that Springs and Abe bear a nearby. photos by Alan Hodge striking resemblance to one another and that Nonetheless, the story of a girl named Nancy Nancy had often visited Springs to do chores- and Hanks and her Belmont days is an intriguing one. whatever else the days might have brought. For those interested in digging deeper, and comBilly Miller’s book “McAdenville, Spun ing to one's own conclusions, a trip to the Main From the Wilderness” declares, “The story goes Gaston County Library’s NC history room will on that she was forced to leave the area because provide plenty of food for thought on the subject, of her relationship with Adam, and was taken in and a trip to actually see the Hanks monument, by Abraham Enloe of Rutherfordton, NC. When the icing on the cake. it became evident that she would bear a child, the wife of Abraham Enloe insisted she leave.” Miller’s book contains photos of Adam Springs and Lincoln and readers can draw their own conclusions. Local author and historian Jack Page, one of the founders of the Belmont Historical Society and co-author of “Images of America: Belmont” is familiar with the Hanks tale. “I used to camp near the stone monument long before there was a housing development there,” Page said. “I even tried gold panning in Hanks Creek and found a few flakes.” But Page has done research on the Hanks story and says he believes it is not as iron clad as some folks think. “My reading uncovered the fact that in the time period that Dicky lived in the cabin that there were about a dozen girls named Nancy Hanks between Gaston and Rutherford counties,” Page said. “I don't want to offend anyone but there is a lot of evidence to the contrary that the Belmont Nancy Hanks might not have been The Hanks momunent on Hanks Creek Lane in the one that was Lincoln's mother.” Pinsto was erected in 1923.

Can’t Wait for Tomorrow! Rev. Trent Rankin Salvation Church Gastonia, NC salvationchurchnc.org salvationchurchnc@gmail.com
Each year at Christmas when I was a child, I could not wait for Christmas morning. On Christmas Eve I was so excited that night that I could barely sleep. Early that next morning on Christmas Day, I ran down the hall, and into the living room to find what Santa had brought me the night before. As we look at our world today, it seems we are often looking toward tomorrow. Many times we are seeking a brighter future, an easier time. Our politics, society, and culture have become so turned upside down, that we long for a new day. What we are longing for, is hope. Luke 2:25-38 tells the story of a man named Simeon. Simeon was a devout man of God. The Holy Spirit had told him he would not die until he had seen the Lord’s Christ. One day, after the events of the first Christmas, Joseph, Mary, and the young child Jesus had come to the temple in
Jerusalem. According to the Law of Moses, the parents of a male child had to sacrifice two turtledoves or two young pigeons to God. The Holy Spirit had led Simeon to the temple that day. While there, it was revealed by God to Simeon that the young Jesus with his parents, was the long-awaited Messiah. Simeon took this precious child in his arms and blessed him. Simeon prayed to God, thanking him for allowing him to see Jesus. Simeon said, “Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, According to your word; For my eyes have seen Your salvation” (Luke 2:2930, NKJV). Although this is a lesser known part of the Christmas story, not as familiar as the angels, shepherds, and wise men, it is vitally important none the less. Simeon’s part of the story speaks to perhaps the greatest theme of Christmas, hope. Simeon had been waiting for a long time to see Jesus Christ. Israel had been waiting hundreds of years for their Messiah. Israel as a nation had experienced slavery, oppression, and conquering armies. They had been waiting for a new day. Today, many people
Come See What We've Rounded Up!
are looking for a new day, a better future. Unfortunately too many people are without hope, with no future. Their hearts are empty, and their future is bleak. Instead of God, they have filled their lives with drugs, alcohol, and other things the world offers. Just like Simeon and Israel, people are in desperate need of hope. Hope was born on that first Christmas morning. Simeon held hope in his arms. Hope is found in Jesus Christ. That precious child born in that stable in Bethlehem would go on to suffer, die on the cross, and rise again for us. Jesus Christ ascended back to the Father in heaven, and one day He is coming back for us. This friends, is true hope! We have hope today in Jesus Christ. Do you find that your life is empty, with no future in sight? If so, give your life to Jesus Christ, because He gave His life for you. You have hope in Jesus today. Christian, you have the hope of Jesus in you. Tell someone without hope today the good news of Jesus Christ. There is a better day coming, a hope for tomorrow, and that hope is Jesus Christ.

Meditations
How do you handle troubles? My trainer gave me 15-pound dumbbells and said, “Combine a deadlift with a bent over row.” I executed one row and shook my head. The weight was too light. It did not challenge me. He replaced the 15-pound with a 20-pound dumbbell. I shook my head, too light. My trainer was all too eager to raise the weight. He brought me a 25-pound dumbbell. I said, “Now this is a challenge.” My trainer’s next words gave me food for thought. He said, “If it doesn’t challenge you, it will not change you.” If I continued to use the easy 15-pound dumbbells my muscles would not continue to strengthen and tone. Sadly, when challenges come our way most crumble under the storm. We say we trust God, but as long as we remain untested. Life is a set of challenges which we can allow to weaken or strengthen us. How do you handle testing in your life? Do you fight, run, or embrace the opportunity for growth? “Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through as if something strange were happening to you. Instead, be very glad for these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it is revealed to all the world.” I Peter 4:12-13 NLT. No one enjoys suffering, but there will be challenges that sometimes lead to suffering. God does not cause the suffering, but he can fulfill a divine purpose in the midst of our pain. “Dear brothers and sisters, when
troubles come your way, consider it an Rev. Angela Pleasants opportunity for great District joy. For you know Superintendent that when your faith of Catawba Valley is tested, your endur- Methodist Churches ance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.” James 1:2-4 NLT. When troubles come, James does not mean we jump up and down and cheer. James teaches us to view the trial from God’s perspective. As unpleasant as it may seem, discover the lesson God is teaching us in the midst of the trial. Instead of asking God to change the circumstance, consider praying for God to change you in the midst of the situation. When needing direction, ask God for his wisdom. When trials come, and they will come, draw close to God. Just as my muscles are shaped by the pressure from the weight, God can use trials to shape and mold us into Christlikeness. God matures us into becoming people of integrity and devoted to him. When life throws us a curveball, do not go into isolation. Keep praying, worshiping and trusting God. Seek out mature Christians to pray with you. And, most importantly, keep serving God. When we persevere, we bring glory to God.

Last week, representatives from the Gaston County chapter of United States Marines Corps Reserves Toys for Tots program were greeted with a mound of donations at Belmont-headquartered manufacturer Wilbert Plastic Services. Employees participated heavily in the annual drive, now in its sixth year regionally and at the company. Pictured in the attached, Gaston County Toys for Tots coordinators Glenn Perkins (left) and David Jackson (right) meet Wilbert's Chief Financial Officer James Melton (center) to ensure dozens of toys make their way into the hands of boys and girls across the area. Marines across the United States have collected millions of gifted toys for children each year since the program's founding in 1947. Gaston County's chapter marks its sixth year this holiday season, including six years of participation at Wilbert Plastic Services. The Wilbert Santa and an elf (Nathan Grant and Amy Howell) visited the East Gaston Adult Day Care Center workforce is proud to partner each Christmas with this worthwhile, local agency and looks in Catawba Heights last week.

Small Business Optimism Near All-Time High Not since the roaring Reagan economy has small business optimism been as high as it was in November, according to the recently released National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) Index of Small Business Optimism report. “We haven’t seen this kind of optimism in 34 years, and we’ve seen it only once in the 44 years that NFIB has been conducting this research,” said NFIB President and CEO Juanita Duggan. “Small business owners are exuberant about the economy, and they are ready to lead the U.S. economy in a period of robust growth.” The Index gained 3.7 points in November, a sharp increase over what was already a near-record performance the previous month. Eight of 10 components posted gains, including a stunning and rare 16-point gain in Expected Better Business Conditions and a 13-point jump in Sales Expectations. State-specific data is unavailable, but NFIB State Director Gregg Thompson said, “Our members are really hopeful based on what's happening in Washington.” “This is the second-highest reading in the 44-year history of the Index,” said NFIB Chief Economist Bill Dunkelberg. “The NFIB indicators clearly anticipate further upticks in economic growth, perhaps pushing up toward four percent GDP growth for the fourth quarter. This is a dramatically different picture than owners presented during the weak 2009-16 recovery. “The change in the management team in WashCongratulations to Town of Stanley Firefighter Honeycutt and Firefighter Fuller for completing their training.

ington has dramatically improved expectations,” he continued. Job Creation plans increased six points last month, providing more evidence of a strong labor market. The number of owners who said it’s a Good Time to Expand rose four points; Inventory Plans increased by three points; Inventory Satisfaction increased by three points; and Actual Earnings Trend moved up two points. “Job creation faded, but hiring plans soared, primarily in construction, manufacturing, and professional services,” said Dunkelberg. Finding qualified workers has been a persistent problem all year for small business owners, a reliable sign of growing economy. Last month, it was the second most important problem facing small business owners. Only taxes polled higher. “Small business owners are paying very close attention to what is happening in Washington,” said Duggan. “They continue to list taxes as their number-one problem, but they now have clear expectations that Congress and the President will address that problem. “As long as Congress and the President follow through on tax reform, 2018 is shaping up to be a great year for small business, workers, and the economy.” To view the entire NFIB Index of Small Business Optimism, please visit www.NFIB/sbet.

THE SAVIOUR IS BORN
We Celebrate Christmas
Luke 1 The Birth of Jesus Foretold 26 In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” 29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. 31 You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.” 34”How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?” 35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called[c] the Son of God. 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. 37 For nothing is impossible with God.” 38”I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it be to me as you have said.” Then the angel left her.

Mary Visits Elizabeth 39 At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, 40where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. 41When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! 43But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!” Mary’s Song 46 And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord 47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 48 for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, 49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is his name. 50 His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. 51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. 52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. 53 He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. 54 He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful 55 to Abraham and his descendants forever, even as he said to our fathers.” Luke 2 The Birth of Jesus 1 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2(This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to his own town to register. 4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

The Shepherds and the Angels 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ[a] the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14”Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.” 15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” 16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

Mountain Island moves to 7-1 with 68-59 win over Queens Grant By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com
In a game that featured intense action on the court and some spirited crowd involvement the Mountain Island Charter men’s basketball team beat Queens Grant 68 to 59 last week. The win improved the Raptors record to 7-1.
Both teams started the game with aggressive pressing. Each defense attacked the ball as soon as it was in play. Queens Grant scored the game’s first point off a foul shot. Gabriel Stephens scored Mountain Island’s first points off a jumper. At the 5-minute mark Ste-

phens hit a 2-pointer to put Mountain Island up 9-7. For the most of the period both teams kept pace with their opponent’s scoring. At the end of the first Mountain Island pressed Queens Grant hard. The effort paid ioff with four points in 30 seconds, most of which came off of turnovers. The period ended with Mountain Island up 21- 20. The pace of the second started slower. The first points didn’t come until 3:34 when Demetrius Washington went 2 for 2 from the foul line. The defense styles of both sides shifted in the second. Both squads pressed a bit less and started playing more zone. It also looked like both teams were trying to psych the other out. At one point a MI and Queens Grant player had a stare down near midcourt. Both athletes stood just a few inches away from the other’s face. Neither backed away, neither blinked. That 10 second encounter reflected the intensity on the court and in the stands. In many ways the crowd action was almost as exciting as what was going on down on the court. The Mountain Island cheerleaders frequently engaged a very loud MI student section. At times the cheerleaders and students would go back and forth with alternating
cheers. The student section was full of some rather colorful characters. Many of which were decked-out in Christmas garb. One student even sported a abominable snowman business suit. It seemed that Christmas time had descended on Mountain Island Charter in full force. Back on the court, Mountain Island slowly started to build a lead. At 2:45 the Raptors were up 31 to 27. In the final two minutes of the half the pace picked up again. Queens Grant made a concentrated effort to get back in it. On the other side Mountain Island did what they could to push the Stallions back down. With 24 seconds left in the period Washington hit a nice 3-pointer to put Mountain Island up 40-33 at halftime. The halftime activities reflected the Christmas atmosphere. Mountain Island’s dance team, the “Ladybirds” entertained the crowd with a holiday routine. The ladies kept things light hearted by sporting an assortment of ugly Christmas sweaters. The girls got the crowd into their number with a creative performance complete with Rockette style high kicks. When the dancers left the court the student section entertained themselves with quirky cheers to pass the
time. The second half opened up with both sides struggling. The pace of the previous two periods looked like it had taken its toll. MI got back in it when the Raptors hit 5 Points in 10 seconds to put the score at 45-35. MI’s first double-digit lead of the game. At the end of the 3rd Queens Grant started to pull it together. The Stallions responded with 4 unanswered points so at 3:20 MI was only up 47 to 41. That quick scoring burst by the Stallions started a trend. Slowly Queen Grant started to cut into the Raptor lead. With 2 minutes left in the 3rd the Raptors were only up 47 to 45. At 1:30 the game was tied up 47-47 In the final minute of the period the Stallions tried to hang on to the ball looking for open shots. The period ended with the score still at 47-47. The fourth period started with Queens Grant trying to replicate what they did at the end of the 3rd. The Stallions tried to control the tempo with a disciplined offensive effort. The game play may have been more controlled but neither side could generate any points in the early going, At 5:54 Jalen Thomas
broke the tie with an inside layup. Thomas then went on a small tear scoring seven points in 50 seconds. As good as Thomas’s effort was the Stallions responded. Both teams were back to going shot-for-shot. At 3:40 left in the game MI was only up 54-52. With 2:25 left in the game the Stallions tied the game again at 54-54. For about a minute and a half both teams went back to pressing and looking for opportunities to get the ball and score. At 1:28, MI was up 5955. The Raptors then shifted gears and tried to protect the lead. With 58 seconds on the clock Washington hit a 3-pointer that put the Raptors up 62- 55. That shot pretty much sealed the deal. MI went on to win 68-59. Washington ended the game as the Raptor’s top scorer with 20 points. Jalen Thomas had 16 points. This week the Raptors play Cabarrus Charter Academy. Then MI will travel to Charlotte to playing in the the Queen City Jingle Bell Shoot Out.

Cramer kicks off Big South conference going 1-1 By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com
Last week the Stuart Cramer Storm opened up their Big South Conference 3A basketball schedule with a tough 72-64 loss to Kings Mountain and a hard-fought 59-56 win over Crest. Those games put Cramer at 4-4 on the year and 1-1 in conference play. Against Kings Mountain, Dezure Moulden shined. The 6’ senior accounted for almost half of the Cramer scoring with 29 points. Moulden was Cramer’s top scorer as well in the Crest win with 22 points, 6 boards and 7 steals. Against Crest, Zy Murrell had 10 points, 7 rebounds and 4 steals. So far this year the Storm has battled some pretty good teams. Their record may not truly reflect what this team can do. In non-conference play, Cramer took on the South Point Red Raiders, Mount Pleasant Tigers, East Gaston Warriors and East Meck Eagles Cramer played East Gaston and Mount Pleasant twice. The Storm beat the Eagles, swept the Tigers and lost to the Warriors and Red Raiders . The East Gaston games were gruelling. “We feel like we are better than our record shows,” head coach Brad Sloan said. “We had two close games with East Gaston.” On both nights the East Gaston games went down to the
last few seconds. On December 1st the Warriors edged out the Storm lost 47-46. A few days later the Storm lost their second match up against EG 68-66. Two games decided by 3 points. “We lost a buzzer beater at their place,” Sloan added. “We lost a game decided by free throws at home with less than 10 seconds.” Coach Sloan is prepping his team for what he believes will be a tough conference schedule. Right now it’s hard to say who the top teams are in the Big South. Ashbrook, Kings Mountain, North Gaston and Cramer all look good at this point. Sloan feels that the play in the Big South is going to be rough and tumble. The coach believes the conference may be one of the toughest in the area if not the state. “This conference is night in and night out tough,” Sloan stressed. “Everyday I see in the paper it seems that we are beating up on each other. We need to be ready to play every night. I think whoever wins our conference will be battletested for a playoff run.” This week the Storm will take on another Big South team, the Burns Bulldogs before going on holiday break. During the break Cramer will travel to Lincoln County to participate in the People’s Bank Holiday Tournament. The tournament will be held at West Lincoln High School December 27th to the 29th. Eight teams from Gaston, Lincoln and Catawba Counties will duke it out for the tournament title.
Officers with the Gaston County Police Department also participated in ‘No Shave November’ and transitioned the event into ‘Don’t Shave December’. Officers paid $25 per month for the privilege of being temporarily exempted from the department’s grooming policy. Over 50 officers took part in the fund raising effort, which netted a total of $2350. The money has been evenly distributed to the Gaston County chapter of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program and the Gaston County DHHS ‘Gaston Gives’ program. Gaston County PD photo
