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. We were hap-
py to be able to do that in the play-

poll following last weekend's high
school and college football game
and is projecting that Bullet Bob
Hayes will be the winner of the
pickin’ and grinnin' football contest
this year.
With only two weeks remaining,
the Top Cop has opened a four-
game lead over the editor, and is
now running out the clock.
Hayes went 10-5 last week to
give him a season's mark of 81-39.
Stewart slipped to 8-7 and 77-43

down a notch or two. He said he

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.

dous,” he said. "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."
