Central and fayvee Grid Games
Wll Be Flayed At City Stadium
Remaining 1972 football games
for Central Junior High School
and the Kings Mountain High
jayvees will be played at City
Stadium instead of John Gamble
stadium.
A spoke'sman for the school
system said that Bob Hamrick, a
consultant for Porter Brothers of
Shelby, which developed the sta
dium grass system, has recom
mended that the stadium be used
only as much as necessary for
the next year.
The Bermuda grass whirfi
makes up the playing turf did
not develop a good root system
when It was sown and completely
died out last year.
Since the gate for the high
school home games is used for the
entire athletic program, it is
necessary that the varsity games
be played at John Gamihle stad
ium, since Its seats twice as many
people as City Stadium. But
Hamrick advised that no other
games be played there.
The school system Is in the
process of developing the lower
practice field at KMHS for game
use. The field is already devel
oped except for goal posts.
