Mounties Polishing Up For SWC Opener Kings Mountain’s Moun taineers have a lot of polishing work to do in the next three days to get ready for their 1980 foot ball opener here Friday against Bums. Coach Dan Brooks is almost settled on a starting lineup. Unlike last year, when the Mounties two-platooned, many players will be starting both ways. “We found out in our scrim mage at Northwestern last week that a bunch of players aren’t ready to play,” said Brooks. “We’re going to start the other guys who have some experience and work the younger ones in as they get better.” Brooks said the Mountaineers were inconsistent in all phases of the game at Rock Hill. With tough games at the beginning of the schedule, the Mountaineer mentor said he can’t afford to develop players in games. “We don’t have non conference games to get them ready,” he said. “We’ll let them come in for breathers. “We did some good things in the scrimmage but we were real inconsistent,” he went on. “We ?PORT^ would make a real big play and then turn right around and give up a big one. “Northwestern was real strong,” he continued. ‘They’ve really improved over last year. They had 70 people on their var sity and two-platooned all the way.” Brooks said the Mounties this I week will spend a lot of time on timing, pass protection and the kicking game. “We’re also working a lot on conditioning,” he said. “We’ll have to be in much better shape to play people both ways.” The Mounties’ starting backfleld Friday will include Mike Woodberry at quarter back, Chris Wrij^t at fullback, Tony Boyce at tailback and Boo Robinson at flanker. All are let- termen. Up front, the Mounties will have Mark Scruggs at center, Mark Russell or Rupert Stephens at strong guard, Daryl Strong at strong tackle and Markus Hager at tight end. Mark E. Smith will start at quick guard, Wally Davis at quick tackle and Jeff Lineberger or Mark F. Smith at split end. Brooks said Dougy Wright, out for varsity ball for the first time, will get in a lot of playing time at tailback. “He’s really been impressive the last two weeks,” said Brooks. “He did a good job in the scrim mage and since we came back, he’s really hustled.” Lineberger will also see some action at tailback. Brooks said. Carlos Owens will start at nose guard on defense, with Strong at one tackle and either Gary Allen or Keith Pressley at the other. Davis and Mark F. Smith will start at the ends, and Trent Hullender will see a lot of action there. Calvin Hood will start at one linebacker and either Scruggs or Russell at the other. Chris Wright will also play a lot there. In the backfield, Boyce and Tony Rainey will play the cor ners and Hager and Lineberger will be at the safety positions. Friday’s opener will be one which will provide a lot of ac tion. Bums returns its players from a year ago, when the Bulldogs upset the Mounties 16-6. The Bulldogs, according to Brooks, has one of the best quarterback-split end combina tions in the conference in quarterback A1 Floyd and end Marion Crowe. They are ex perienced at the running back positions with 22S-pound fullback Frank Porter and tailback Tim Key returning for their senior year. “If we stop the big fullback and do a good job in the secon dary, and have some consistency on offense, well be allright,” said Brooks.

KIWANIS MEETING Thursday’s meeting of the Kings Mountain Kiwanis Club will feature an address by John Brenner, who has been in Washington Stale at the site of the Mt. St. Helens volcano and will present his impressions. The meeting is at 6:45 p.m. at the Woman’s Club. Kings Mountain High’s girls tennis team opens what promises to be one of its better seasons Thursday at Phillips Center in Gastonia against 4-A Hunter Huss. Veteran Coach Ed Guy has four starters returning off last year’s team, which tied the school record for victories with an 11-3 mark. After those four, the Moun- tainettes are inexperienced but Guy hopes theyll be ready to play when Southwestern 3-A Conference action rolls around in late September. “I’ve been real pleased with the four girls who played last year,” he said. ‘They’re really going to be ready. The others have to work more on their con sistency.” The four returnees are Bridget Glass, Ronda Guy, Jamie Hum phries and Kim Moss, all seniors. Guy expects them to occupy the top four singles positions, but not necessarily in that order. “We started playing off for positions Monday,” he said. “We haven’t worked on our doubles combinations yet. We’ll pro bably work on different com binations in the non<onference matches.” Guy has two girls returning who did not start last year, junior Wanda Witherspoon and sophomore Karen Ledford. Suzanne Thornburg, a senior transfer from Lenoir, will be bat tling those two for the final two starting spots. Newcomers include Heather Crowley, Robin Ramsey, Angela Barrett, Sandra Cobb, Martha Alexander, Pam Crawford, Susan Crawford and Christy King. ‘The first of the season, well depend on our experienced girls,” said Guy. “As the season goes on, we’ll depend on the others to get their games together.” The outlook for the SWC season appears the same as past years, with Kings Mountain bat tling perennial champion Shelby for the championship. “It’ll all depend on what kind of help Shelby gets from their junior high,” said Guy. ‘They lost some good players. We lost to them 54 the past two seasons. With our experience, we should have a real good chance. Everyone else will be a distant second to Shelby and Kings Mountain.”
