Sr re A Thursday. September 1, 1983-KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Page 5A GUESS THE WINNING TEAMS - AND GET THE MOST CORRECT AND WIN *100.00 First Shelby Loss Since 1946 Reprinted from the November 10th, 1955 Kings Mountain Herald. Shu Carlton and the Kings Mountain Mountaineers broke the Jinx of long standing Friday night when they romped on their arch-rivals Shelby by a 26-0 score. It marked the first time since 1946 that the Mountaineers had been able to turn the trick. On the other hand, Shu Carlton had never been abie to top the Lions with a Kings Mountain team. Kings Mountain had the situa- tion well in hand from the open- ing whistle until the final gun. Shelby never threatened serious- ly during the game. The Shelby offense was bogg- ed down all night and the Lions could manage to pick up only 26 yards on the ground. Their pass- ing attack was a little better, but still lacked the scoring punch. They completed four of 13 passes for 29 yards. The Mountaineers, not im- pressed by a big Shelby line, roll- ed for 270 yards on the ground and added another 35 via the air. Jerry McCarter was the big ground gainer for the Moun- taineers, picking up 38 yards in 13 tries. John McGinnis was close behind with 78 yards in 14 carries. Kings Mountain won the toss, the second one this year, and Shelby kicked-off. Harris took the kick back 12 yards to his own 25 and the ball game was under way. Baity cracked for six, Mc- Carter for three, and Harris for one for the game’s first first down. The second first and 10 followed as Baity and McGinnis got four on a pair of runs and McCarter picked up seven. Harris took the first play of ‘the new series and raced 13 yards to the Shelby 40. McGin- nis got two and Baity got 12 on a pair of runs each to place ball on the Lion’s 26. Harris then kept and galloped to the Shelby 5, a jaunt covering 21 yards. On the next play, Mc- Carter hit pay-dirt on a five yard run. Stewart added the PAT and the Mountaineers held a 7-0 lead early in the game. Stewart’s kick-off carried to the Lion’s 27 and was returned to the 40 by Greene. A Greene to Eskridge pass was good, but Shelby was off- sides and the play was called back. Greene was then thrown for a 10-yard loss, and Shelby elected to punt on third down. The punt carried to the Kings Mountain 40 and was returned four yards by Harris. McGinnis got seven and Baity one before a backfield in motion penalty put the Mountaineers back to their own 46. McGinnis failed to gain and Harris kicked on fourth down. The ball rolled dead on the Lion’s 2 yard stripe and Shelby took over. Running plays by Greene and Eskridge picked up nine yards as the first period end- ed. Greene cracked for four more yards on the first play in the se- cond stanza, and Shelby had its initial first down of the game. On the next play, however, Mountain Carpenter fumbled and Layton recovered for the Mountaineers on the Shelby 40 yard line. Baity and McCarter both got off three yard jaunts before Mc- Carter broke loose for 19 yards on a fine piece of broken field running to put the ball on the Lion 15 yard stripe. Two runs netted four yards, but a backfield in motion infrac- tion pushed the pigskin back to the Shelby 16. Harris then broke into the clear for 10 yards, which left the ball a yard short of a first down. McCarter got the one yard and first down on the next play and it was first and goal for the Mountaineers. McGinnis got one, and then broke loose for four to hit the end zone for the game’s second tally. Stewart’s kick was wide and the score was 13-0. Tommy Harrill carried the kick-off back 14 yards to his own 26, but a pair of running plays failed to gain and Shelby punted on third down. Harris returned the punt eight yards to the Kings Mountain 44, and the Mountaineers took over there. McCarter got one and a Har- ris to McGinnis pass clicked for 18 yards to put the ball on the Shelby by 37. McGinnis got loose for 20 yards with a swivil hipped run that had the fans cheering to go to the Lion’s 17. On the next play, Harris hit Keith Layton with a pass that added six more points to the Mountaineers total. Stewart add- ed the point after touchdown and the score was 20-0 Kings Mountain. Jones carried the kick-off back to his own 32, a 13-yard run- back. A 13-yard run by Greene was nullified by a backfield in motion penalty against the Lions. Jones hit Greene with a pass that was good for nine yards, and Eskridge got three on a plunge. A pass fell incomplete and Shelby punted. A clipping play against Kings Mountain gave Shelby the ball back and a first down, as the of- ficials ruled that the clipping oc- curred while the ball as in the air. A Shelby pass got four and a run lost five before Harris in- tercepted a Lion pass on the Kings Mountain 32. At this point, the second quarter ended. Shelby’s offense bogged down as the second half opened and they were forced to punt. Harris fumbled the punt on the Kings Mountain 40 and Gamble recovered for the Lions. A pair of runs netted a loss of five yards, and a Shelby penalty lost another five and the Lions punted.
