CHESHIRE
YARBRO
MAUNEY
Pat Che.shire, Stan Yarbro,
nd Jeft Mauney are tlio
hrec senior players on the
lings Mountain High School
loll team. Cheshire is cur-
ently playing in the number
ne position lor the Mountie
nksmen. Yarbro is pushing
l-heshire hard for his starting
osition, while Mauney is
anging on to third.
The Mountaineer golf lotim
.s composed of the top eight
.olfer.s in tho school. Their
I )ositions on the team are de-
1 ermined by the scores that
hey shoot (lowest to high
est).
Coach Don Parker is still
at the reins of the linksmen,
after many years ol service
that position. Parker
oached 1 h e 1967 Kings
ountain High School bas
ketball team to theii first
lerfect conlerenco season,
that feat was matched by
lob Hussey a year later as
he Mountaineers- rolled lo a
.’,>1 record. Parker, before
taking over as Title I direc-
to!. was also a Mountaineer
H fiootliali coach.
’'Vj Other goiters rounding out
|thc top eight arc, in order:
*Tommy Grayson, Dana Sarv-
is, Mike McDaniel, Don
Bridges, and Charles Alltm.
Let’s take a look at each
of the Mountaineer golfers.
Cheshire, better known as
"Shane” oi the best drc.ssed
golfer on the Mountaineer
squad, is averaging 37
strokes per contest this sea
son. He is the only three-
year letterman on the Moun-
iaineei team. He played in
the second position last si'a-
son, first being hold by his
teammate Yarbro, aiyl aver
aged 39 strokes per match.
This .season, Pat has match
ed sti'okes with Yarbroi^and
taken over the ‘number' one
position on the squad. His
best match was played
against East Ruthcriord. A
contest in which he shot a
one under par 35. Cheshire
scored the second eagle in
the history of the Kings'
Mountain High School Golf
team. He recorded it on-The
number eight, par five hole,
at the National Golf Course
in Gastonia. That hole total
ed 515 yards. He averages
275 yards per drive and re
gards putting as his onlyi
problem. Iricidently, Jay!
Powell was the only other
player to eagle a hole in'
KMHS golf history.
Yarbro, playing the num
ber two position on the
Mountaineer .squad. He trav-,
eled to the Association
Match last season and
should, along with Cheshire,
be going again this year. He
averages 37 strokes per con
test tliis season and averaged
that same total a year ago.
His best game was a 35, one
under par. He averages 250
yards per drive. "Ski”, a
nickname given him by his
teammates, plans to attend
Wake Forest Universit.v, aft
er graduating from Kings
Mountain.
Mauney, better known as
“Doc”, is the number three
man on the team. Jeff aver
ages 44 strokes per contest
and labels his main problem
as approach shots. Mauney
was manager for the Kings
Mountain Football team and
is planning to attend the Uni
versity of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill. He regards his
best game to be against
Cherryville. A contest in
which he recorded a 40. Last
season, "Doc” averaged 41
strokes per tilt. He also gain

ance.
