King finished their regular season with a 9-6 overall record and an 8-6 conference record. The two programs have face each other twice this season. A closely-contested matchup in Tigerville resulted in a three point victory for the Tornado. NGU outscored King in the first three quarters and led by as much as 23 late in the 3rd quarter, but a ferocious comeback by the Tornado in the 4th was just enough for King to complete the comeback victory with a final score of 65-62. The second matchup in Bristol, North Greenville's third game in a five day span, saw King pull away with big 2nd and 3rd quarters. The Crusaders did outscore the Tornado in the 4th, but the end result would be a 71-53 win for King.
