East Rutherford BOB HAYES Thursday, November 12, 1992 -THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Page 5A Mountaineer booters eliminated from playoffs Kings Mountain High's soccer team accomplished another first last week. The Mountaineers won their first-ever state playoff game with Wednesday's 4-2 win over Franklin at Gamble Stadium. : However, Dan Potter's two-time Southwestern Conference champi- ons went down to defeat in the sec- ond round Saturday night at Enka, 1-0. The results left the Mountaineers with a final record of 15-4-3, with 15 victories representing the most ever in a single season. The Mountaineer offense played an outstanding game Wednesday at home despite a soaked playing turf. The Mountaineers built a 4-0 lead before turning the game over to the * second unit early in the second half. Clay Corry scored a hat trick, getting two goals in the first half and another in the second half. Sarimaha Rithiphong scored the other KM goal. "Franklin was not as skilled as we were, but they played with a lot of heart," Coach Potter said. "We were able to put a lot of young players in the game.

Hayes is going with the sure winners _this week while Stewart is frantically calling for a number of major upsets in a last-ditch effort t& catch up. We called upon another member of the KMPD - DARE officer Alan Hardin - to try to knock Bullet Bob down a notch or two. He said he doesn't know all that much about football, but it's obvious Stewart and Austin don't either! “Laura Hewat —TOTAL BODY CARE SALON = THE NEWEST IN MATRIX PERMING & MATRIX COLORING offs. Our young guys weren't ac- customed to playing in that kind of weather and they were a little ner- vous playing in a state playoff ‘game. "That was a very monumental win for us,” he added. "It was the first time we'd won a state playoff game, so we have accomplished another goal." Saturday at Enka, the Mountaineers out-played the state's 10th ranked and only unbeaten 3-A team, but fell 1-0 on a second half goal. . The Mountaineers battled well despite almost freezing conditions, but Coach Potter was disappointed in the treatment his team received from its host. "We wanted to play in the after- noon, but they would not agree to it," Potter said. "They had a heater on their side of the field, but did not provide us one, and at halftime their players went into a locker - room and did not provide us one. I thought they were really taking ad- vantage of the situation and I was really upset with the manner in which they treated us.

"We had a great game. We out-played them. They hadn't seen a loss this year, and we had been told by the Franklin coach that they were onc of the dirtiest teams around. Their fans were very unaccustomed to being out-played. "After they scored their goal six minutes into the second half, they . played a one and out game," he said. "Their technique was much like a four-corners in basketball. They were trying to run the clock out. Our players would pass the ball and move it up and down the field, and when they'd get it they'd kick it all the way down field. We were frustrated. They were content to sit back with a 1-0 lead instead of playing soccer. We ended up try- ing to push our players into an of- fensive attacking mode, which gave them a couple of good scor- ing opportunities. We had four real good opportunitics but none of them fell in." Brad and Damon Putnam did an excellent job of defending the goal, Potter said. "I'm real proud of all of our players," he said. "The ones who have been with me four years have dome some remarkable things in a short period of time. It's a real trib- ute to them because they are not year-round soccer players. It's a tribute to their willingness to work hard and follow instructions. They play a real intelligent game." oe YelcontC Hardware Duck Tape 2" x 60 yd. roll of strong, sticky, waterproof all-purpose tape. 40402 Cat Ox? 11.00 am to 2:30 pm MONDAY - FRIDAY "Eagle" Corn Broom Tough fibers resist breakage & shedding.
