FOOTBALL
From Page 1-B
Junior defensive back Rodney
Brown tacked on the final two
touchdowns in the fourth quarter -
one on a 26-yard return of a fumble
and the other on a 56-yard punt re-
turn on which he took a reverse
hand-off from Kevin Melton.
Coach Hicks said he was pleased
overall with the Mountaineers' per-
«formance, but added that several |
‘areas of the Mountaineers! game
needs improvement. :
"We were pretty well pleased
with the kicking game,” he said.
“The execution by all of our play-
ers - both the coverage people and
the return people - was exceptional
for this early in the season. There
are a lot of things we can do better,
but to be that far along was good.
"Defensively, I thought our kids
played real sound team defense.
We had a lot of people around the
football and that's always good. As
long as you're getting that done
you can get better at reads and
techniques. We showed a strong
desire to want to get to the football.
"Offensively, overall we were

when he leamed that he would be
sitting on the bench beside of the
gray-haired Brickles, former head
coach at Davidson College.
"The night I got the call that I
was to be the West assistant, I told
my wife, Brenda, that I hoped the
head coach would be somebody I
could learn something from," Sipe
said. "It said, 'wouldn't it be funny
if it were Bo Brickles?' "
Brickles and Sipe have sat
across the gym from each other on
numerous occasions, the most no-
table in the Western North Carolina
championship game in Hickory in
1990 when Sipe's Mountaineers
knocked off the top-ranked Spiders
to earn a trip to Chapel Hill for the
state 3-A championship.
"I think everybody remembers -
pleased but we felt like we weren't
as far along as we thought we
would be. A couple of times we
had the ball in scoring position and
had some breakdowns, but we're an
option football team and we de-
pend on our linemen to do a lot of
reading and picking up assign-
ments to get the quarterback and
tailback on the outside third of the
field. A couple of times we didn't
even get past the tackles, but that
will take sometime." ..... .... °
The Mountaineers got outstand-
ing defensive play from Bron
Smart, Jahi Smart, Sheldon Smith,
David Merck, David Owenby,
Kenny Bridges, Rodney Brown
and Kevin Melton; and excellent
blocking from Travis Smith, Jody
Putnam, Norris McCleary and
Cedric Moore.
BM The Mountaineers face a
much tougher test Friday night
when they travel to Crest to take on
a much-improved Charger eleven.
Crest is fresh from a 13-12 vic-
torv over its arch-rival, Burns, and
Sipe to coach in East-West game
_ that game," said Sipe. "I'm really
looking forward to coaching with
him. He's already been in touch
with me and we'll be going to the
Camcorders Skyline all-star camp
in High Point Sept. 25 to look at
some players." :
Sipe, who has been in coaching
for 24 years and has a 169-95
record in 10 years at KMHS, has
turned out one conference champi-
on, one conferfence tournament
champion, and three Sectional
champions here.
"Being selected to coach in the
East-West game is quite an honor,
but it's a result of all those good
basketball palyers that I've had
here these last 10 years," Sipe said.
"You get recognition by having
good athletes."
is regarded as a serious contender
for the Northwestern 4-A
Conference championship.
While Kings Mountain's defense
was outstanding against East
Gaston's running game, its pass de-
fense was not seriously tested. That
won't be the case this week,
though, because Crest is one of the
top throwing teams in the area.
"They have a wide open attack,"
said Coach Hicks. "Their quarter-
back (D!Andre Hopper) has alot of
ability. They get in a one-back set,
or run and shoot, and throw the
ball about 90 percent of the time.
We'll be looking for at least four
wide receivers on every snap of the
football."
Defensively, Hicks said the
Chargers line up ina 50 defense,
but do a lot of stunting and try to
* create confusion for the opponent's
offense. "Their whole defense is
geared to get penetration, and we're
an option football team. That's not
a real good match-up for us, but if
we're going to be successful we're
going to have to take care of it."
