| | | IVs lose third Kings Mountain High's junior varsity football team dropped its third straight decision Thursday night at Gamble Stadium, losing to Lincolnton 12-0. Coach John Bumgardner's team never could get cranked up on of- fense as it fumbled the ball 12 times, and lost most of them. "We were our own worst ene- my," Bumgardner said. "Everything we did we did it wrong. We weren't able to hold on- to the football and that will certain- ly tell the tale on you. "We played the poorest we've played," he added. "We made a lot of mistakes. If we're going to be competitive we're going to have to eliminate those mistakes and do it now. We can't keep making them and expect to win." Bumgardner said he did see some bright spots in his defense. Lincolnton scored both of its touchdowns in the first half, capi- talizing on KM fumbles to drive less than 20 yards for both scores.

Black is hit from behind as he attempts to throw a pass. Lincolnton won 12-0. "I can't really say their defense stopped us," Bumgardner said. "We stopped ourselves...completely.” Bumgardner said the junior Mountaineers went back to the drawing board this week in prepa- ration for their first conference game tonight at 7 p.m. at R-S Central. "Out kids are going to have to realize what it takes to be a football team," he said. "It takes commit- ment to play this game. We're start- ing to get some commitment from some players. I hate to say it, but those who aren't willing to make the commitment really don't belong with us.

Or so he says! The Herald publisher, thanks largely to stupidity on the part of Sage Stewart and Bullet Bob Hayes for going too far out on the limb, led the pigskin pickers last week with an 11-4 record. Stewart and Hayes, trying des- perately to catch up, called for some major upsets that didn't hap- pen. Stewart and guest Butch Morrison finished with 10-5 fig- ures and Hayes was 9-6. For the year, the guests lead with a 45-14-1 mark, followed by Austin at 40-19-1, and Stewart and PLAN NOW TO ATTEND THE ROY PEARSON | RALLY, THURSDAY SEPT. 26th, 7:00 at Duke Town & Country Bar-B-Q (Dutch) p Vandy Hayes at 37-22-1. Stewart says he would have led "but I changed some picks so my card wouldn't be the same as the others." Stewart first planned to go with Michigan over Florida State but changed his mind after the oth- er three called for a Wolverine up- set. That one paid off, but the other changes (R-S Central over East Rutherford, Ashbrook over Myers Park, and Arizona State over Nebraska) backfired. Ditto for for Hayes with Duke over Virginia.

"It's time to get serious," said the Big Chief. "The second half of the season will prove that Austin's luck has run out and I'm the real football expert in these parts." Austin, who trails the guests by five, is going for broke in the fifth week of the season. He's going with a host of upsets which will ei- ther put him in the lead or ruin his chances. This week's guest is Joni Blanton, a Kings Mountain postal employee who has delivered some more solid picks for the guest- perts.

Kicking Patriots whip Shelby 2-1 Kings Mountain Middle School's soccer team took over sole posses- sion of second place in the Bi- County Conference Monday with a 2-1 victory over Shelby. Casey Sipe scored from midfield for KM and Chris Wallace added the second goal with a header in front of the goal. Prior to the regularly-scheduled game, the two teams completed a suspended game from a week earli- er. That contest was halted at half- time because of rain. Shelby fin- ished with a 4-2 win. Rusty Putnam and Wesley Bridges scored the KM goals. Kings Mountain plays its final home game Thursday at 4 p.m. against Burns.
