Coaches have had almost two
weelis to ()bsci'\p their teams, so
via telephoni* cc.ivorsations I
have found ou: that most coaches
point to Shelby to win tlio con-
feicncc, with Kings .Mountain
and Lincointon offering the most
competition.
Most eoaches say that East
Rutherford will e the dark-
horse this season and that US
Central should field a tougli
team.
SHELBY . . . TACKLE
PROBLEM
Coach Gerald Allen of Sht'lby
seems to think that the Golden
Liens will be a title contender
this season but state.s that a big
gap has been left ai the tackle
positions, and so far, he has
found no one to fill those gaps.
“We will be hurting at the
tackles", said Coach Allen, "but
will be strong at eTost other posi
tions.” Shelby’s quarterback,
Mitchell Self, returns this sea
son as do other ’64 starters, ends
David Di‘Pi'iest and Sonny Davis,
guard Roger -McKee, center Rob
ert Blanton, and fullback Paul
Wright.
Wright took over at the full-
back slot last scas-n after Joel
McKinney sustained an ankle in
jury and turned out to . e one of
Shelby’s lop barks. DePriest is
the team’.s place-kicker and Chip
Cloninger, a ’61 letterman, will
be al one .guard position.
Shelby has 45 boys out for the
squad. The Lions will open the
’65 season at Shelby September
3 against Hunter Huss of Gas
tonia.
Allen points to Kings Mountain
and Lincxtlnton to give the Lions
the most competition.
CHERRYVILLE . . . HOPES
TO IMPROVE
Coach John Livingston is be
ginning his second year as Hoad
Coach at Cherryville and says
that he hopes very much to im
prove his ’64 record of no wins,
nine lasses, and one tic. Cherry
ville battled Chase to a 7-7 dead
lock in the two team’s final game
of the season last year. Chase
and Cherryville tied for seventh
place in the conference stand
ings.
Cherryville has 15 returning
lettermen, nine returniing start
ers. Only 30 boys showed up for
opening day practices so the
Cherries will have no depth.
Quarterback Pete Link is back
for more action this season and
Coach Livingston states that he
and guard Hubert Avery have
'oeen shaping up pretty gO(xi in
early drills.
The teai.Ti is made up mostly of
juniors and seniors but is still
young and inexperienced. “No
boys”, said Coach Livingston,
“with the exception ot Jerry
Randall, had any experience be
fore last year.” Randall, all-con
ference in ’64, graduated.
Livingston stated that the line
is coming along pretty good but
he hopes that the forward wall
will learn to block a little better,.
He stated that the Cherries will
be mosly a running team with
tailback Robert Lankford and
fullback Bill Eaker providing the
speed.
Coach Livingston points to
Shelby. Lincointon, or Kings
Mountain to win the conference
championship.
BELMONT . . . REBUILDING -
Coach Ray Shelton of Belmont
is having his troubles coming up
with a backfield that can com
pare with last year’s. Gone are
halt:acks Tony Mauldin and
Steve Fcatlieisii'ne and quaricr-
hack Richard Aimstrong who
(■allied Belmont to a 5.5 st'a.on
last year, fifth place in the con-
feionce standings.
The only rcluiniing mcmlicrof
that liacktield is fullback Cliarlcs
Orren, who lips the sealt's al 175
pounds. Orren i.s a senior
“We will not be as good as last
.year, certainiy net a title con-
lender,” .said Shel;oii. Of the 15
candidates to show up for open
ing day practicts, ten are lelter-
ren and throe were starters last
year.
Returning starters are Orren,
tackle Rally Farmer and center
Tony Chaney. Gone is Shrine
Bowl end Sidney Jenkins, but in
to lake over liis position is junior
letlerma.i Tommy Tate.
Warren Garrett Is currently
running first unit quarterback
but .Shelton reports that he is he
ing pushed by Mike Bivens. Both
boys are juniors.
■Shelton, wha is beginning his
third year as the Belmont men
tor, points to Shelby, Lincointon.
and Kings Mountain to field the
toughest teams.
CHASE . . . LITTLE BETTER
“It will re a few more years
before we come up with a title
contender,” says Chase Head
Coach Bob Bush, “but wc should
be better than last year.”
Bush begins his second seas :n
as Chase Coach and tliinks that
his team, which is made up of
mostly sophomores and juniors,
will be a little better than last
year.
Coach Bush points to either
Kings Mountain or Shelby to win
the conference. "I don’t care if
Kings MoU’ntain did lose a lot of
boys,” said Bush, “they’ll be
tough. The reason I say that it’ll
be either Kings Mountain or
Shelby is that .both places are
football towns and both 'earns
are well coached.”
Chase now has 12 lettermen.
Nineteen boys were awarded
monograms last j’ear but seven
did not show up for opening day
drills. There are 35 varsity can
didates and 25 junior varsity
candidates at Chase.
Ends Sid Silvers and Doug
Hamrick and halfback Larry
Barnes will form the nucleus a-
round which this year’s Trojan
team will be centered. Other
boys who have been showing
progress are guards Al Silvers
and Charles Hicks.
Ken Hamrick, a senior, will be
the starting quarterback with as
sistance coming from junior
Doug Tate. Bush, who coached
for six years at Clover, S. C., and
who did some student coaching
under Everett "Shu” Carlton at
Kings Mountain a few years
back, is joined by AI Snider and
Harold Clark at Chase.
Chase opens the season with
Salem on September 3, at Mor
gan ton.
LINCOLNTON ... NO
RESERVE STRENGTH
Lincointon Coach Von Ray
Harri.s reports that his team
will have 12 returning lettermen,
four returning starters, and two
returning all-conference players.
The two all-conference players,
halfback Steve Brackett and cen
ter Martin Eaddy, will be joined
by seniors "Bo” King, quarter
back, Ted Mullen, tackle, and
Terry Hager, end, five other sen
iors, and junior guard Dale
Martin in forming Lincolnton’s
starting offensive team.
Harris .says that Lincointon
would liave a pretty good firs'
I unit, but will have little rc.scivi'
strength.
I Lincointon will be witlioiu the

ity assi.stants Don Pack, Roy
! Turbyfield, and Perry Brown,
until they go off to school next
month. Tliosc boys, Stexe War-
' ren, Don Powei-s, Mike Hollificid.
and Bill Morris, are past Lin
: colnton stars and Coach Harris
states that he is pleased to have
them on tlio staff for the sum-
m.er.
’’Boys like these really help the
team out,” said Harris, “and, in
so doing, got experience for
themselves, too.”
HUniERFORDTON . . .
NO EXPERIENCE
"Wc’ll have a tough time
breaking even this year,” says It-
S Central Coach Max Beam.
“We had only seven lettermen to
ixtturn, one quit, and our only
returning starter, fullback 5Iikc
Gilbert broke his ankle,” Beam
added.
Beam points to Shelby to win
the conference and says that
Lincointon and Kings Mountain
will be right up at the top with
Chase and East Rutherford pro
bably being the darkhoi-ses.
Out of the 50 candidates at
Central, only five of the boys
are seniors, and Beam reports
that several of the starting of
fensive and defensive positioti^k
will be filled bv S-tphomores. ^ ^
Beam states that the boys are
not aggressive, won’t run on of
fense, and won’t strike on de
fense.
Juniors Walter Dalton and'
Warren Goforth have been work
ing out at the quarterback posi
tion and one of them will be dir
ecting the tea-n when it opens
the season against Marion on
fseptembor 3 at Marion
EAST RUTHERFORD . . .
SMALL BUT QUICK
East Rutherford Coach Boh
Setzer points to either Shelby or
R-S Central to win the confer
ence but states that his hoys will
certainly be a title contender this
year.
His small-but-quick team is
made up mostly of sophomores
and juniors, but don’t let that
count them out. Ea.it Ruther
ford’s junior varsity team won
the conference championship last
season and Coach Setzer report.s
that there are some fine athletes
coming up frcin that team.
.Sophomore I-owis Jolley will
probably be at one halfback slot,
junior Gary Dodson is showing
progress at halfback, and senior
Jimmy Clement, 195-pounds, all
muscles, will be al fullback,
John Gamble, a senior, will be
the quarterback.
Of the five colored boys out
for the team, Setzer states
three of the boys will be .starii/ J
on either offense or defense Ale
three :boys, Alfred Mapp, Jeny
Rogers, and Roy Wright are
backs.
East has eight returning let
