MOUNTIE PRESSURE - Kings Mountain defenders Jody Champion (78) and Wayne
Brazzell (75) put the pressure on Hunter Huss quarterback Neil Cochran (10) in Saturday’s
game at Hunter Huss. Huskies won 9-7 in the mud.
Mounties Lose To Huss 9-7.
Go To South Caldwell Friday
A first half safety was the
difference Saturday night as
Hunter Huss scored a 9-7 non-
conference victory over
Kings Mountain’s Moun-
taineers at the Huss stadium.
The game, postponed from
Friday because of last week’s
heavy rains, was played on a
muddy field which resulted in
a rash of fumbles and missed
assignments.
The Huskie kicking game
and defense were responsible
for what turned out to be the
winning points midway
through the second period.
The Huskies punted after a
drive stalled at midfield and
the punt was downed at the
one yard line. Two -con-
secutive mishandled snaps
resulted in fumbles, and on
the second Kings Mountain
quarterback Ryan Hollifield
was tackled in the endzone to
give Huss a 2-0 lead.
Kings Mountain’s free kick
traveled only to midfield and
the Huskies drove that one in
for a score, with Pete
Lipscomb scoring from five
yards out with 4:50 remain-
ing to make it 9-0.
Kings Mountain’s offense
never could get untracked in
the mud, managing only one
first down. It came in the first
half when the Huskies were
flagged five yards for being
offsides.
The Mountaineers,
however, were still in a good
position to win the game late
in the fourth quarter. Monty
Deaton picked up a Huss fum-
ble and raced 23 yards for a
score, and Todd McDaniel’s
PAT from placement brought
the Mountaineers to within
9-7.
After that, the Moun-
taineers got the ball three
more times in Huss territory,
but couldn’t advance it. The
closest the Mounties could
come to scoring was when a
halfback pass from Anthony
Hillman was intercepted at
the five.
Kings Mountain’s only
scoring opportunity before
the fourth quarter came
following a Huss fumble at
the 25. On a fourth and 10
situation, Kings Mountain at-
tempted a field goal but the
snap was off target and
McDaniel attempted to pass
for a first down. He hit Brent
Bagwell but the gain carried
for only six yards and shy of
the first down.
Kings Mountain’s offense,
playing without senior
fullback David Leadbetter
who was nursing a back in-
jury, managed only 40 yards
on the ground and only eight
in the second half. :
The Mountaineer offense
looked strong at the beginn-
ing of the contest. Deaton
went off right tackle for gains
of two and four yards on the
first two plays of the game,
and on the third play, he
rambled for nine yards but
fumbled and Huss recovered.
“For some reason, our of-
fense just got in total disar-
ray after that,” Coach Denny
Hicks said. ‘“The defense
