Kings taken on the 43 by Warrtn Herald Spo r t s By GARY S’TEWART swe Gets Three Shrine Bowl Performers The Southwestern 3-A Conference will be represented by three high school seniors in the annual Shrine game to be played this year on December 3 at „ The Shrine contest, which pits high school football stars from North Carolina' against standouts from South Carolina, is led by N. C. 13-12-4. But in recent contests. South Carolina has dominated the scene, winning the lasi j three and seven of the last eight. | Southwest Conference stars named to play on tne j N. C. squad this year are Gary Dotson, a halfback frorn East Rutherford, Doug Hamrick, an end from Chase, and Steve Cornwell, a Shelby tackle. Last year the SWC was represented by tackle Mickey Mitchell of Shelby and center Martin Eaddy from Lin- colnton. ^ • 1 This year. North Carolina is to run from the single wing. Dotson, a 6-2, 195-pounder, should be able to adjust to that offense without any trouble, or he could be put on the defensive team. Dotson has been the mainstay of the East defense, as well as the offense, for the past two seasons. ^ Last year, Dotson led the Cavaliers to the SWC championship and then past Wilkes- Central in the semi finals of the association playoffs. Dotson is also a basket ball standout at East, having been named all-conference last year in that sport, as well as football. Dotson has played everywhere in the East backfield, quarterback, halfback and fullback. He’s big enough for fullback, being able to power his way up the middle, and, as a halfback, is fast enough to get outside. Dotson is the first player from East Rutherford to be named to the Shrine Bowl team. East has been in existence for four years now and is rapidly becoming one of the toughest 3-A teams in the state. Hamrick, a 6-2, 200 pounder, is Chase’s first Shrine Bowl performer. The big senior is just as valuable on de fense for the Trojans as he is on offense. He has been contacted by several top colleges but has his eyes set on South Carolina. Hamrick was named all-conference last year when he helped lead Coach Bob Bush’s Trojans to their best season in history, a 6-4 overall record and a fourth place finish in the SVVC. j Cornwell, a bruising 206-pound tackle, was named on the Shrine team as a guard. He becomes the 13th player from Shelby to be given the honor. Cornwell lettered last season but is the only one of the three SWC Shrine Bowl ers who did not make all-conference as a junior. N. C. Getting The Best Players A few years back it was said that North Carolina didn’t choose the best material for its Shrine Bowl team, but instead, chose boys who had politics or money back ing them. , . . . V. Tj- The biggest ruckus was raised in 1964 when Kings Mountain folk thought that KMHS had Shrine Bowl ma terial in several boys, such as quarterbacks Pat Murphy and Richard Gold, center Hubert McGinnis, tackle Lyn Cheshire and end Jimmy Cloninger. But when the Shrine Bowl roster was released only one boy’from the SWC was listed and that was a boy who hadn’t shown too much. . .u 4. *u But in the last two years, you have to admit that the North Carolina coaches have selected good material, al Mountain nett^ only 30 yards rushing all night but h$d 97 yards in tAe air for a \2i total 1 yards. R-S Central had 83 yards rushing and 71 passing for a total of 154. .. , I Junior tailback Steve Spencer brought the Mountaineer fans to their feet early when he took the first play from scrinunage around right end for an 18 yard gain from the KM 36 to the R-S Central 46. After Wayne MuHinax gained only one yard on a first-and-ten situation, the Hilltoppers were charged five yards for offsides. In three more plays, Spencer had, a first down on the 33. Kings Mountain then worked the’ ball to the nine yard line ! in eight plays, from whidi point i the -Mounties had a first,-ahd-gbal. i But three plays later, the Moun- ties found themselves on the ' 22 yard llrre with a fourth^and- i goal and aophomore quarterback i Joe Cornwell passed incomplete on fourth down and the visitors took over < . .

Mountaineer (vridgraph PLAYER OF WEEK — Pictured above is Junior end Stanley Laughter who was named by the Kings Mountain high school coaching stoff os plccyer of the week after he played on outstemding gome against R-S Central Friday night. Laughter currently ranks third in pass receiving and has also done an outstanding job on defense for the locals. Stan Laughter Player Oi Week Junior end Stanley Laughter was named by Kings Mountain high school football Coach Bill Bates as this week’s player-of- the week after Laughter played an outstanding game both on of fense and defense against R-S Central Friday night. Laughter, a 6-0, 162-pounder, on offense, caught four passes good for 42 yards and on defense made several tackles to head the Mountaineer defensive squad. Bates said that the Mountaineer defense was the best this past week since the Concord game. Laughter ranks thifd on the only . three yards in three tries. The team then exchanged kicks twice before 'the Moiintaineers got another drive . going. Toihmy Lane punted-friom the Central 36. to the KM :27 where the boot was ’ taken by -Rocky 'Brown,and retprhed to the 31. Cornwell picked up two yards before Central was taxed five yards for another offsides pen alty. Spencer was then thrown for a four-yard loss but the vis itors were charged 15 yards for holding and the Mounties got an automatic first down oh the 49. Central was then penalized 15 more yards for tackling by the face mask and the Mounties got an automatic first down on the R-S 39. Cornwell was dropped for a two-yard loss on the first play and Wayne Mullinax car ried the pigskin back to the R-S 35 before Cornwell passed in complete on third down and the Mounties had to punt. Paul Gaffney’s punt went into the end zone and the Hilltop pers got the pigskin on the -20, but could move It only to the 38 and had to punt again. The punt rolled dead on the KM 24 and the half ran out before the Mounties could get' a' drive go ing R-S Central still couldn’t get KM R-S 3 14 12 9 30 83 97 71 127 154 , 22 9 10 4 -• 0 0 . . ..0 0 „15 '•TO 7-35.4 7-^.9 i Bbb Hemdbii Holds ; Mixed Bowling Lead j Bob Herndon rolled a 146 line I and a 382 .set Thursday night to , • -By-BOBBY BOLIN j lead his team into first place . • . . i after four vVeeks of action in the i! local Jayoee-midget fofri-|iot.ai mixed bowling league. , lo^m, brought its season Herndon rolled identical 118 Ciameiton, 26-7 Raiders Have Never Beaten Kings Mountain Kings Mountain’s Mountain eers have an all-time record to uphold Friday night when they visit Davis Park in Belmont for a conference match with Coach Ray Shelton’s Belmont Red Raid ers. ' The Mountaineers have never been beaten by Belmont in the 13 yerirs that they have been op ponents. Kings Mountain played Bel mont only once, in 1945, before the Southwest Conference was* formed, and the Mountaineers won that jjarnCj^ 6-0. The SWC was formed in 1954, the year that the two teams battled to a 7-7 deadlock. Since 1954, the Mountaineers have won every game, including a 14-0 victory last year when the Raiders thought they had the material to stop the Mountain eers’ undefeated string against I them. ' Kings Mountain has never had too much trouble with Belmont except in 1954 when the two I teams tied. Only two other Bel- I mont - KM clashes have been I decided by less than two touch- ' downs. The ’45 score was 6-0 and ' in 1956 when KMHS won the i association championship, the I score was 18-12. The ■ 1956 battle was the only one that KM had to come-from- behind to win. The Mounties trailed that one, 12-6, niidway through the final period but halfback Ken Baity scored two last quarter touchdowns to give record to 3-31 fast Thursday [ lines in the'first two games and ' the Mounties the victory. over i came back >in the third match ' Kings Mountain’s biggest mar- to post his 146 to lead his team 1 gin of victory over the Raiders ■ j was in 1960 when the Mountain eers won 32-7. In 1964 the Moun taineers built up a 21-0 first period lead and cruised to a 35- 13 win. Belmont’s 13 points were scored against KM’s third and fourth defensive units.
