Herald rts By GARY STEWART Mounties Play Central Friday Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers travel to Ruthcrfordton Friday night to take on Coach Max Beam’s Hilltoppers, in an 8 o’clock game which will be homecoming for R-S Central. Congratulations To KM Coach — Bates I In 'rup.sciay mornings mail I received a letter from | Carolinas .Shrine Bowl. Inc., a news release telling that the new North Carolina Shrine Bowl Head Coach, Clyde L. Walker of Raleigh’s Broughton High School, had nam ed a 43-man committee to help name the all-stars who will represent the Tarheel State in the annual Shrine Bowl game this year. Mountaineer Coach Bill Bates said that his starting lineups will look almost tlio same, hovv- cvci, added that liis offensive lineup might vary a little with senior fullback • halibaek .lay Powell getting in on more- ttclion. i The committee included one head coach from each Class A, 2-A, 3-A, 4-A conference, each eigh-man team conference, and one coach Irom each conference in the Western North Carolina High School Activities Associa tion. Kings Mountain Head Coach Bill Bates was the one selected irom the Southwestern Conference. That’s a very higli honor to receive, taking into consideration that the SWe i filled with outstanding mentors: V''on Ray Harris of Lincolnton, Bob Bush of Chase, etc. Since Bates became Head Coach at KMHS back in 1962, the Mountaineers have won two conference champ ionships. Going into this season, teams under Bates had posted an over-:ill record of 23 wins, six losses, and two ties. Adding this year’s record (2-5) to that. Bates’ teams have handed him a 25-11-2 mark, going into this week’s game with Ruthcrfordton. That’s a pretty good mark, wouldn’t you say? Foi his tliree completed years at KMHS, ’62, ’63, and ’64, Bates litis tui'ned out 15 all-conference players, and Iasi year had two all-state players. In '62 wiion liie Mounties posted a 4-5-1 record, Mike Huffsticklei', Wally Harris, .lames Hope, and Charles Oood.son were named all conference. In ’63, when the- Mountaineers were co-champs with Shelby, Huffstickler, ■ Pat Mui'phy, ,'immy .Medlin, Warren Goforth, and Fred Dixon were named all-conference. And last year when the Mounties posted a 10-1 record and won the .^WC title, si.x boys were chosen: Murphy,, Richard Gold, Lyn Cheshire, George Plonk, Jimmy Cion-' ingci, and Hubert McGinnis. ; Of the 15 boys, five are now playing college football, I one will l)e hack in action again next year, and two arej playing college lia.seball. Another boy, who did not make, all-conference, is also piaying football in college. i While turning out so many all-conference players. Bates, too. has landed a few honors. For the past two sea sons, he has lieen named as one of the Gastonia Gazette’s “Co-Coaches of the Year”. So. hats off to our best . . . Shelby-KM Same Another Good One Like alw ay.s, last week’s Shelby-Kings Mountain foot- nall game turned out to be a good one. Although Shelby i won by a one-sided, 19-0 victory, the game was still filled' with excilemcnl. i ^hPlby had posse.ssion of the pigskin for the bigger- part 01 the night, as Kings Mountain managed only 341 scrim.mage, 30 running and four passing. On the otiicr hand, the Lions conducted 74 plays from scrim mage. Taking that into consideration, the Mountaineers played an impres.sive game on defense.

Bates .said tlia there is a strong po.ssibility tlia lie will start at halfbaek tid.- week, but if lie doesn't, will hi used largely, both at halfbaek and fullback. “If he over gets healthy, he will go all the way,” Bates said of his senior letterman who lead.s all regulars in rushing witli a 4.1 average. Bates added that he will probably not play too niucii on defense because of the fact that “we want to keep him healthy." Kings Mountain has not won a game in its last five outings and has been shutout for the past four weeks. Kutherfordton posts the same record as the Mounties, 2.5 over all, 1-3 con ference. Both teams have won confer ence games over tlio same team. Cherryville. The Mountaineers de feated the Cherries 13-6 back on September 17, and tire Ililltop- pers beat them by a 21-0 count at Cherryville last week. “We’ve got a strong possibility to catch fire against K-S and Belmont, said Bate.s, "and, if we do, that maybe will get us up for Lincolnton. Now we niighl find out if wo ran play football or not,” he added. Senior Bobby Boline may start at one defensive end this week, with .senior Fred Wright probab ly getting the call at the otlier. On offen.se it will probably agaii be Wright and Scott Cloningci starting at the two slots. Junior center . linebacker San dy Mauney suffered a slight eon cussion in last week’s game wit'- Shelby and will see action only on offen.se this week. The KM starling haekfield will be all senior with the c.xeeption of junior quarterback Tommy Finger, who came into his own last week after having been on second unit for the first half of the season. Finger will al.so be a starter on defense. Danny Kiser will again start at fullback and at the halfbaek slots will he Steve Goforth and Powell or Mike Oofortit. Powell will be alternating at tailback and fullback. At the tackles will again be Chip Bridges and Roy Medlin and at guards will be Paul Gaffney and Chuek.v Gladden. On defense, the line will look primarily the same with J. C, Wright coming in at middle guard. Kenny Plonk, a 26.5-pound junior, will be used a lot at defensive tackle. Senior fullback Mike Gilbert, who sat out the first half of the season with an injur.v, will be the main offensive gun for R-S; PLAYER OF WEEK — Moun taineer fullback Danny Kiser gains "Player of the Week" recognition this week as a re sult of his defensive work against the Shelby Ligtjs Fii- doy night. Kiser also adaed 18 yards gained in six tunning plays on offense.

Kings Mountain high school Head Coach Bill Bates bos been named to represent the WNCH- SAA. Bates is in his fourth year at KMHS, has won two Southwestern Conference titles and, going into this season, hos posted a 23-6-2 over-all record. In essence, each of the coaches will be responsible for passing on to the Shrine coaching staff the names of all seniors of Shrine caliber in their re.spoctive con ference. The coaches have been asked by Walker to view film of the outstanding players, confer with coaches throughout the con ference, and, whenever possible, see the boys play in person. The coaches have been re quested to grade each boy they see, using one of tlie followln; categories: (1) definitely to be considered, (2) possibly to be considered and (3) not capable. Walker, in his letter to the committee coaches, made it clear that their assistance would not entitle them to any speeial con sideration for boys from their schools or conference. “We want you to help us find the best 33 football players in the state,” he wrote. The decision to form a state wide committee was made in an attempt to halt South Carolina's dominance of the game in recent years. The Sandlapper coaches with fewer and smaller schools from which to select their play ers, have won five of the last six Shrine Bowl games, including a 20 to 6 victory in 1964.

On the other hand, KM man aged only 30 running plays and ’allied a net total of .55 yards. The Mountaineers, led by seniors Danny Kiser and Philip Bunch, played a fair game on defense, but ju.st couldn’t move the ball. Kings Mountain drove into Shelby territory oidy three times during the game. After Tommy Dover recovered a Shelby fumble during the early minutes of the first quarter, the Mountaineers drove from their own 41 to the Shelby 47 before a punt situation occurred. Paul Gaffney got off a .36 yard punt which was taken by Shel by’s Terry Goode on the nine and returned to the 21. From that point, Shelby’s initial touch down drive began. The Lions picked up five first downs during the drive, which was sparked by a 16-yard pass from Self to end David DePriesI and by Goode’s Ifl-yard touch down run. DcPrie.st kicked (he point after to give the Lions a 7- 0 load, only three seconds after the second quarter got underway. Shelby’.s second touchdown drive began when DePriest kick ed off to KM.
