At Bums Thursday Opener 14-6 One game doesn’t make a season but judging from the reaction of the players and fans following Thursday night’s 14-6 victory over Bessemer City, one would have thought the Kings Mountain High jayvee foot ballers had just won the Super Bowl. But, knowing some of the background of their past two seasons, spectators understood why. Members of the team who had played football the two previous years at Kings Mountain Junior High had tasted the thrill of vic tory only once. They failed to win a game as eighth graders and posted a 1-7 record as ninth graders. With nine more games to go, the Little Mounties expect to ex perience the feeling some more. ‘The defense did a real good job,” noted head coach Charlie Burns. “Our offense was off and on. We’ve got a lot more work to do there.” Bessemer City jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the second quarter when a Yellow Jacket defender returned a pass interception 40 yards for a touchdown. The Little Mountaineers took the ensuing kickoff, however, and drove 70 yards for a 6-6 tie. Roy Mathis, who was the game’s leading rusher with 108 yards, covered the final 41. Quarter back Lindsay Davis ran for a two-point conversion to give the Little Mountaineers an 8-6 edge at halftime. Kings Mountain closed out the scoring midway of the fourth quarter when quarterback Tony Childers sneaked in from two yards out. A fumble recovery at the sbt by Jamie Greene set up the score. Chris Champion intercepted a Bessemer City pass in the final seconds to insure the victory. Coach Burns praised the Mountaineers for playing together. ‘They didn’t let the early Bessemer City touchdown get them down,” he said. “They got themselves fired up and played a real good ballgame. “Our defense played a good game overall,” he went on. ‘Tommy Welch did a super job at linebacker. He made a lot of hard tackles...the kind you like to see. Our ends. Max Brooks and Mike Dixon, both did a real good job. Bessemer City couldn’t get around them.” The Little Mountaineers stay on the road Thursday night, fac ing Bums in what should prove to be one of their toughest tests of the year. The jayvees travel to Ashbrook next week and host East Gaston in their first home game on September 18. All-Star Game Is Saturday The Parks and Recreation Department of the City of Kings Mountain in cooperation with Coach Jim Wilce and his Gard ner Webb “Bulldogs” basektball team are having a Charity Basketball game at the Kings Mountain Neighborhood Facili ty Center on Sat.
