Kings Mountain sports had a lot;
to be rhankfu! for during the past
year and, as usual, left plenty to be
wanted during ^930.
The high school football team en

ed and fought to a .500 season with
five wins in 10 s;arts. Bob Jackson,
rangy left end, became one of the
few Kings ^fountain players to
make the all -conference football
team. The American Legion Junior
baseball team had a good season,
drew more fans at the gate than
during the previous three seasons
combined. The gramai grade athle
tic program got off to a f tying start
with an excellent coaching staff
teaching the 100-odd players and
more interest was generated in foot
ball, both among spectators and
players, than has ever been eviden
ced here. The high school basketball
team, suffering from lack of tall
players, had a good season but the
baseball team limped through ano
ther schedule. The Mountaineer
Club was organized and should
prove it's worth to Kings Mountain
athletics If members keep the old
shoulder to the wheel. That's just a
few of the good things 1940 brought
Kings Mountain sDorts.
In the wanting category improve
ments to the present stadium or the
building of another athletic plant
for football and baseball heads the
list. Other items that could we'll be
used include a planned recreational
program, a summer baseball league
