KINGS MOUNTAIN HER^, KINGS MOUNTAIN. N. C. Thursday, September 23, 1965 leconi lives 1 e Secon Herald Sports By GARY STEWART The Kings Mountain Mountain- (?or.s won their second strai:;ht game of the IDSo season Frioay night in Cherryville, defeating the ironmen 13-6 at Kudisil! Me morial Stadium. The win evened a 26-year-Gld KM-Cherryviilo se ries at 12-12-2. Kings Mountain racked up a total of 211 yards rushing while the Mountie defense held Cherry ville to only To yards on tire ground. Junior halfback Philip Wright led the KM cliarge with 128 yards gained, fullback Jay Powell ciiipped in 93 yards in 17 carries. Tile Mountie defense was head- I ed by defensive end Charles Car- j roll who recovered a Cherryville fumble late in the tliird period to , lead the Mountaineers’ first score, . and then picked up a blockt»U ; punt in the end zone for the I Mounties’ final score of the night, that score coming with 4:51 left to play. Larry Sain and Bill Eaker led Cherryville’s rushing game with 33 and 24 yards respectively. Cherrie quarterback Pele Link tossed the Ironmen’s only touch- Mounties Piay Chase Friday; Gametime 7:30 Kings Mountain’s Mountain eers get their second taste of conference competition Friday night when they travel to Harris, N. C., to take on the highly re garded Chase Trojans of Bob Bush. Gametime is 7:30. Bush, a former coach at Clo ver, S. C., and who did his stu dent coaching at Kings Moun tain, said Tuesday afternoon that - j j Chase “hopes to give Kings ral in homecoming at Chase. Chase and Cherry- Mountain a good game but ed to a 7-7 tie in the final game of the season | knows that KM will be tough tying for seventh-eighth place in the SWC because of the fact that they ' have not lost a conference game since 1962 and don't want to start now.” Chase, which recorded only one win and one tie last season, has won two of the first three games this season, one being a conference win over Rutherford- ^ ton, 21-0 week before last. Only [)able of getting the job done. KM*s defense has I one touchdown has i:een score<l down, witli 21 stv::.!-' u ■ Cherryville battle, which ended in the fir-^t hull. That pa-- in a scoreless tie. But after King a tc end Bill Harver. , Mountain lost the ball on down:; For a while the jame lo'i 'd late in the second period, Cherry like a replay of thi- KM- ville started a late drive from it i 27 yard ll:ie which led "■■.ial ore* of the game.

[Belmont hasn't lived up to any kind of rating lost its first two games, to Davie County 33-0 colnton 39-13. Use has proven that it will be no pushover, and Vvin its first conference championship since the id the SWC back in 1961. ar Coach Bush played mostly sophomores and [lis reason for that was so that he could maybe i team in the next two seasons. This year’s' Ifs made up of mostly juniors—some seniors— Suld be good again next year. ^ ^rojans won only one game last year, defeating Ineers Have Many Weaknesses Mountain has won its first two season’s contests as many wrinkles that need to be ironed out. field is inexperienced and does need speed. quarterback is inexperienced but has shown that - be fair but the offensive line has let many peo- It’s big and should be one of the best — if not '*^^ist — in the conference, but the boys have just not bring off quick enough and are not doing the block- lat they should. ^ 1 Out The Prediction Sheet Last week I missed one. Chase over Davie County, but jvas Davie County over Chase 6-0. I hate to go against igs Mountain and I know that if the boys will get in re and really play hard, the Mounties can win over ase. So, we’ll say Kings Mountain over Chase, 7-6. We’ll md on Jerry Mitchem to pull us through with the ex bint. 1 other games this week, Shelby will be at Lincoln- id Cherryville at East Rutherford, both those games r underway at 8 p.m. Shelby and Lincolnton are icked to be top contenders this season but I think incolnton will be the stronger of the tw'o, so we’ll incolnton over Shelby, 14-0. last Rutherford has won two out of its first three j s, beating Polk Central and R-S Central and losing I /aynesville. The Cavaliers beat R-S Central 19-0 at herfordton last Friday. Cherryville played Kings Mountain a close game last ■**f but everyone at the game knew that Cherryville got s when they counted. Fast Rutherford should have 3uble with the Ironmen so wee’ll say East 20, Cherry- 0.

The first half, which consists of 17 weeks, is ^y six weeks old. Then last week Boyer Murray bowled the highest e game ever rolled at Mountain Lanes, a 177. The -rd line came in the first of three games between Mor- n Loan Co. and Plonk Oil Co. Morrison went on to win J rl dec'is’on o\'er Plonk, with Boyer adding lines of 106 li ■‘■'0 in the f-nal two games. J Lanes Manager C. H. “Cat” Houser said it wnc thp hio^ho^t linp pvpr hnwIpH \i’itL against the Trojan defense, by Davie County, the Trojans losing that game. ^ last week. The Trojans opened the season on September 3 with a 200 win over Salem. Bush has two colored boys in his starting lineup, two brothers, Jimixy and Reggie Jamerson. Jimmy is a sophomore tackle and Reggie is a 160-pound halfback who is probably the fastest back in the conference. He is also Chase’s leading ground gainer. Doug Tate and Ken Hamrick al ternate at quarterback and Tate plays fullback when not direct ing the team. Larry Barnes is at fullback when Tate’s running quarterback. Six senioi^. three juniors, and two sophomores make up Chase’s first offensive unit. Kini^s Mountain Coach Bill Bates said Tuesday that he will probably start senior Philip Bunch at fullback this week and might use Larry Patrick in the place of Ohucky Gladden at right guard. Bates reported that neither Jay Powell nor Danny Kiser will be in top shape bv Friday but stated that thev will both he used largely on offense and deferr?e. “Prwell will start if he does better in practice later this week.” Bates added. Junior Phil ip Wright will probably run first unit offense and defense Friday. He has only been running first unit offensive halfback in the past, but saw aerion on defenre at Cherrw-ille Friday after Ki ser was iniured. Bates said that there are rrany mistakes to’ e collected if Kings Mountain exeects to he'it Chase Friday. He also said that KM'.j e^fen-e will have to play hard all night because of the fact that Cease’s defense has been scored noon only on^'e this year. Davie County is ranked as one of the better 3 A tenr.s in the state this season and onlv beat Chase 6-0.

Kings Mountedn's leading ground gainer ot Cherryville Friday night# coxries to the Cherryville 37 yard line early in the fourth quarter as Ironmen Robert Lonkford (20) and Wade Beom (40) move in ior the kill. to the Mounties, carried the ball to the 27 yard line, picking up Cherryville’s first two. first downs of the night on the way. That drive was climaxed by a' 27-yaid touchdown pas:s from | Link to Barger, but Llnk’.s extra ; point attempt tailed and the ■ Cherries led 6-0 at intermission. Kings Mountain outrushod j Cherryville 121-43 yards in the. first two periods with fullback Jay Powell leading the way with 70. Wright added 41 for Kings! Mountain and Robert Lankford, a ! senior halfback, led tlie Ironmen j charge with 15 yards gained. ' Cherryville took the second! half kickoff and rushed to its 33; before being forced to punt. That punt, off the foot of junior Dar-1 rell Pop^. was taken by Wright, on the Mountie 35 and returned I to the 48. ! From there, the Mounties charged to the Cherryville 24 be fore losing the ball on downs for; the third time of the nigiit. Full-; back Bill Eaker ran the first play for Cherryville, but fumbled the ball, and Charles Carroll rocov- ' ered for Kings Mountain on the Ironmen 22, from which point KM’s initial touchdown drive be gan. Powell, Wright, and Tommy Goforth picked up the first down to the Cherrie 10, Wright carried to the six. Powell to the five, and Wright to the goal line, giving KM a fourth-and-goal situation.' An offside penalty put the, Mounties back on the five, from which point Goforth (Tommy) , rolled out to pass, found no re- ' ceiver, and galloped into the end zone for the score. Jerry Mitchem booted the ex tra point, giving Kings Mountain a 7-6 lead with 37 seconds re maining to play in the llilrd period. Cherryville never threatened again, as penalties kept pushing the Ironmen deep into their own territory. With 4:51 left to play, Pope was sent back, to punt from ins own five yard line. Mountie linebacker Paul Gaffney iush(*d in and blocked the punt, and de fensive end Charles Carroll re covered in the end zone, for the final score of the niglit. Mitchem’s conversion attempt was short, and KM led 13-6. Wright kicked off to Cherry ville with Sain taking the ball on the 18 and returning to the 37. Sain picked up five yards to the 42, a pass lost two yards for the Ironmen and an ineomplc*ted pass cau:sed a tourth-duwn situ ation. Sain was sent back to punt, however, faked it, and picked up a first down to the Mountie 44. Link pa.ssed once incomplete, then his second pass was inter cepted by Denni.s Smith on the 25 and Kings Mountain took pos session of the pigskin for the re mainder of the game. The loss dropped Cherryville under the .500 mark, with its rec ord now one win and two defeats- Chcrr>villc has lost two confer ence games, to Lincolnton 26-12, and to Kings Mountain.
