Gaston’s Warriors, who
capitalized on KMHS mistakes
and routed the Mountaineers
24-0.
Both Kings Mountain and
East Rutherford are 0-2 in the
SWC. The Mounties are 1-2
overall and the Cavaliers 0-3.
“I thought we were mentally
prepared last week,” said Coach
Brooks. “We played real well in
the first quarter, and then got a
break and drove down to the 20,
but didn’t get anything. After
that, we lost our concentration.”
The Warriors, fired up after a
37-yard field goal attempt by
KM’s Tony Boyce fell inches
short, got their offense going and
scored three touchdowns in a
span of just over two minutes.
“We’re just so young and are
not being able to stay in close
ballgames with experienced
clubs,” said Brooks. “We have a
lot of seniors but most of them
are inexperienced. We’ve got
some seniors playing that should
be in the ballgame and we’ve got
to have those people step up and
be our leaders and keep the other
players and each other going.”
Brooks said had the Moun
taineers scored on the field goal
try and gone ahead, the outcome
of the game could have been dif
ferent.
“We let East Gaston have the
ballgame in three minutes,” he
said. “1 don’t feel good about it.
We all played well for awhile in
the first quarter and then we ail
played bad. East Gaston certain
ly showed it’s a lot better than
0-2.”
Brooks said most of the
Mountaineers need to “grow
up.”
“It’s going to take mental con
centration if we’re going to com
pete in the Southwestern Con
ference,” he said. “Bad things
happen when you let up. 1 guess
well have to put more pressure
on the players in practice and tell
them they’re going to have to
grow up now. 1 feel like we have
a lot of players who don’t believe
in themselves. That’s the main
thing we have to work on.” t-
The Mountaineers made a
number of turnovers, including
four fumbles and two pass in
terceptions. They had two drives
halted deep in East Gaston ter
ritory (one on the missed field
goal and another one at the two)
and other mistakes led to three
of the four East Gaston
touchdowns.
"This is a tough game,” said
Brooks, “and you have to get
tough every week to compete.

You have to believe and when
you get behind you have to play
that much harder.”
Looking to the East Ruther
ford game Friday, Brooks says
the Cavaliefs'and Mountaineers
are similar. Both are young and
inexperienced with only 10 let-
termen returning from last year,
but, he adds, both teams are bet
ter their records show.
“This conference is as even as
I’ve seen it,” says Brooks. “A lot
of the teams are the same.
