f, If*v .jbMT U. UN M LAUTt More From Stewart (From Page IB) Just one area of the game to specialize In and they all did a good Job with their responsi bilities. ‘ ‘Our boys had more pride them the average kid we’ve been get ting,” says Jones. “If they will work hard between now and next year we can be a contender again. A lot of them have a future In football beyond the high school level.” Although the nucleus of the ballteam returns next year, Jones says the 8-2 season couldn't have been possible with out the outstanding play of the 10 seniors coi the team. Thoae 10 Include: Mike Bumgarner, the team’s quarterback who led the Moun taineers to a 19-0-2 record In his three years as a starter. Hie only other KMHS quarterback to lead the team to three better years was Pat Murphy, who quarter- backed the 1062 - 68-64 MounUes to a 28-6-2 figure. Marie Moore, a three-year starter at tackle whose blocking helped the Mountaineers estab lish one of the best running games In the SWC. Moore was probably the team’s moat dedicated football jdayer. Tim Spicer, one of die most underrated players In the league. He helped hold together a defensive unit adilch was ranked as the best In the (xmfer- ence over the first seven games. William Thompson, a versatile ballplayer, who started at safety but was capable of playing Just about any posltlcn on the field. His booming kickoffs usually put the enemy deep In Its own terri tory and his ability to return kickoffs and punts always kept the opposing defenses honest. Richard Ross, a 168-pound halfback who developed Into the team’s best runner late In the season. His service was Invalua ble as he doubled as a oomer- back and ssifety on defense. Larry Smith, a guard who did a hangup Job on defense. A1 Eddlns, a defensive back who came out this year after not playing football since his fresh man year. But, Jemea says, “we couldn’t have won eight games without him.” Peter Brown, a spUtend that Jones says will be hard to replace. Scott Wells, a guard who could fill In (m either offense or defense, and a young man that made the starters work hard In practice In order to keep their positions. Kennedi McGinnis, a tackle on the specialty teams, and who did a good Job of filling In for the front-line starters. Jones says another big key to the team’s success was the dedication of the managers — Ronnie Tesseneer. Tom Szymborakl, Steve Boggan, Jeff Boggan, and Larry GUI — and the help given by the press box and chain gang crews. “These people dmi’t usuaUy get any recognition for the Jobs they do,” noted Jones, “but they’re always there to help you. We’d be in bad shape If we didn’t have them.” The 8-2 season, as already mentioned, was the best of any KMHS team since ’64, when tbs Mountles won the SWC title with a 10-0 regular season nurk. They then lost to Hickory 6-0 In tbs Western N. C. Hlg^ Schools Activities Association. After that year, the Mountles went five long seasons without winning over five baUgames. They went 7-8 In '70 In their last year under Coach BUI Bates and their best mark since, until this year, was 7-2-1 In ’74 when they finished third behind South Point and Shelby. That year, the Mountles appeared to have a playoff berth sewed up but were upset by Bums hi the season’s finale. In terms of gcunes won and lost, this year’s team was the fifth best for KM since the organization of the SWC In 1964. The only teams to have better records were the ’56 (10-1-1), ’66 (10-0-1), ’60 (9-1), ’68 (9-0-1) and ’64 (10-1) outfits. Thus, the ’76 Mountaineers have a right to be proud of thelf record but the {dayers returning next year also have a responsi bility to better It. An Improve ment of five vlctortes would be a good goal to set. That would mean a 18-0 record and the state 8-A championship.
