GARY STEWART / HERALD
Kings Mountain defense tries to run down Forestview’s Jarkeevus Alexander (24) in JV
game Thursday night at Gamble Stadium.
GOODE
From 1B
and, forced with a third and
ten, handed the ball to
Goode on a delayed draw
right up the gut of the
Forestview defense and he
went untouched into the
end zone and Will Franks
added the PAT to make the
score 44-37.
Forestview started its
four-play series with an
inside counter to Floyd, who
gained five yards. Kings.
Mountain sent Goode in to
play defense. After C.J.
Cooke pressured Barnett on
second down and forced an
incomplete pass, Forestview
tried the counter again but
this time Goode slammed
Floyd to the ground for a
five-yard loss. On fourth
and ten, Barnett overthrew
Rod Mack in the right cor-
ner of the end zone.
“It was a hard fought foot-
ball game,” Coach
Farquharson said. “I
thought the kids did a good
job. They pulled together
and they didn’t quit, and
that’s important.”
On the downside, Kings
Mountain penalties helped
Forestview tremendously.
For the game, the
Mountaineers were flagged
13 times for 97 yards,
including one penalty that
erased almost half of a 95-
yard kickoff return by Javon
Potts, and two others that
led directly to Forestview
touchdowns. Prior to
Forestview’s final score in
the first half - a five-yard
run by Terrell Harris - KM's
defense had stopped the
Jaguars at the ten yard line
and forced a 24-yard field
goal by Lyon. However, the
Mounties roughed the kick-
er and gave the Jaguars new
life.
Kings Mountain returned
the kickoff to midfield, and
Antwan Ross gained 20
yards around end and
McClain hit Marable with an
8-yard pass to set up a 40-
yard field goal by Franks.
Leading 27-24, the Jaguars
drew the Mountaineer
defense offside on a fourth
and four at the KM 35, giv-
ing them a first down.
Barnett got loose on a 20-
yard keeper and then threw
a 9-yard TD pass to Floyd
for a 34-24 lead
Kings Mountain missed
two other good scoring *
opportunities, one when
Franks’ 40-yard field goal
attempt barely missed left,
and again when

“Crest is a good football
team,” Coach Farquharson
said. “I imagine they're
going to be more than ready
for us. They're going to be at
home and are going to be
excited. They're going to
look to break into the win
column. I expect them to
come out and play as hard
as they can play.”
Kings Mountain will be
looking for consistency on
offense and a much
improved. defensive effort.
“I think the key is the
same for us every week,”
Farquharson said. “We're
going to have to play good
defense and we're going to
have to be able to move the
football. We have to move
the ball and take advantage
of some field position if we
get it.”
