Football Season Opens Friday
It’s Finally Here
That Guy's Back Again
Fantastic Fearless
Picks Wave, Warriors
The endless weeks of practicing In
the scorching heat Is behind them,
and now Kings Mountain's Moun
taineers turn their attention to the
heat of the Southwestern 3-A Con
ference football race, which, ac
cording to most coaches, should be
just as hot, but perhaps more well-
balanced, as ever.
The Mountaineers, hoping to take
great strides In their second year
under a new coaching staff, open
SWC warfare Friday night at Bums
agalns a young Bulldog team which
has a crop of sophomores who have
never lost a ballgame.
Because of tradition and returning
material, the Mountles will rate the
favorite. But head coach Dan Brooks

By FEARLESS
Hi y’aU.
Same column, different
newspaper. Fearless is back
with you again for 10 fan
tastic weeks this fall.
I’ve gotten so much fan
mail already that I've had to
hire a waitress - pardon,
secretary - to handle it all.
This is my umpteeth
season at picking the Friday
night high school football
winners.
When this column ran in
The Gazette for a century,
my batting average hovered
right around the .800 mark
for about 12-13 games eacji
week.
I’m not promising you a
rose garden, however. We
just want to have a lot of
fun. We want you to laugh,
drink and be merry. After
Three-Mile Island, tomor
row may never come. Just
kiddin’, all of you out there
who are pro nuclear energy.
My girl friends have ac
cused me of having nuclear
energy.
Two big helium balloons
sailed over my house side by
side the other day and 1 said
to my next door neighbor,
“Hey, there goes Dolly Par-
ton!”
Do you know what the
Italian girl said when she
banged her knee against the
door of a rented car?
She said, “It’s-a hurts’”
Have you heard the story
about the dumbest football
fans who ever attended a
football game?
Well, this pretty
cheerleader looked up at the
stands packed with cheering
fans, cleared her throat and
shouted: “Give me an F!”
“F,” shouted the crowd
“Give me an I!” she yell
ed.
“I!” yelled the crowd.
“Give me a G!”
“G!” screamed the crowd.
“Give me an H!”
“H!” cried the crowd.
“Give me a T!”
‘T!” screeched the crowd.
“WHAT’S THAT
SPELL?**
COMPLETE SILEJMCE!
It’s the opening games for
many teams this week, in
cluding South Point, East
Gaston, Kings Mountain
and Cherryville.
Who’s going to lose if it’s a
hard-fought, bruising game?
The Blue Cross.
Boy, I went out with a
loser recently. Do you know
what her favorite perfume
was? It was Evening in Arm-
pit!
There’s a new university
in Italy now called What’s-a
matta U.

I purchased a car last
month from a gangster. It
had a hood under the hood.
It also had a beautiful body -
in the trunk.
After reading about the
many deaths recently suf
fered in a yacht race in
England, I still bought a
yacht. It’s called Chicken of
the Sea, and I’ll never set
foot on board. Well, maybe
we’d better get with the
footall pickin’. Since this is
the opening week, we ain’t
guaranteeing you nothin’ ex
cept that all teams will show
up for the 8 p.m. kickoffs.
South Point plays
Ashbrook in the home
opener for the Red Raiders
Friday. Last year, the Green
Wave rolled to a 28-14 win
over the Raiders.
Both teams lost a bundle
of players. However, since
Ashbrook already has a
game under its belt. I’ll go
along with Ashbrook in this
one. Let’s call it 21-13.
The East Gaston War
riors play East Lincoln at
Arrowhead Stadium Friday.
East Lincoln also has a game
under its belt against Lin-
colnton, but my pick is for
the Warriors to beat the
Mustangs by a touchdown,
13-6.
Kings Mountain is going
to be tough in the
Southwestern 3-A Con
ference this year. Coach
Dan Brooks has an outstan
ding backfield to put on the
field Friday against Burns at
Fallston.
The Mountaineers will
start off fast with a 26-6 win.
Cherryville, coached by
Cramerton native Buddy
Bridges, has a tough test at
Charlotte Catholic, a team
which blanked 4-A Olympic
last Friday, 8-0.
The Ironmen will hang in
there for a half, but Catholic
will win the contest, 20-7.
Bessemer City’s Yellow
Jackets, following an open
ing win over Gaston Day
last Friday, has a tougher
rival this week at home
against Charlotte Latin.
The Yellow Jackets will
win a close one, 14-6.
Here’s how 1 see the other
games in the county and
area: Hunter Huss 16,
Shelby 14; South Carolina
School for the Deaf 20,
Gaston Day 12; Lincointon
26, West Lincoln 6; and
Chesnee 16, Clover 14.
See all of you cheerleaders
after the game tonight. Hope
your favorite team wins. If
they don’t, you can count on
me. I’m a winner through
and through.
