The Patriots try to snap a two-game losing streak. Thursday at Burns. Patriot kickers lose two games Kings Mountain Middle School's soccer team hit a skid during the past week, losing both of its games to fall to 2-2-1 and into a tie for third place in the Bi-County Conference. The Patriots lost to Shelby Thursday 1-0. Shelby scored its only goal early in the first half and the rest of the game turned out to be a defensive struggle. Coach Cheryl Lutz cited Tim Schwantes, Neal Rainey, Carey Caldwell, Hunter Suber, Marty Goforth and Avery Turbyfill for their play on offense and Jon Cooke, Jeremy Wallace, Ben Howell, Caleb George, Kanya Phaengkhamhak and David LaFollette for their defensive play. Goalkeeper Collin Goforth made several crucial saves. "I was very proud of the way our guys played and, most importantly, of the way they conducted them- selves," said Lutz. "Shelby is a very vocal team but we didn't let that bother the way we played." The Patriots fell to R-S Central 3-0 Monday afternoon at R-S. Cooke and Wallace played well on defense for Kings Mountain. The Patriots hope to rebound Thursday when they travel to Burns for a 5 p.m. contest. They return home Monday to face Lincolnton. KM booters lose to North Gaston Kings Mountain High's soccer team gave a strong North Gaston team a tough fight before bowing 6-1 ‘in Southwestern 3-A Conference action Wednesday night at John Gamble Stadium. The Mountaineers held the Wildcats to a 2-1 edge at halftime, but the Dallas-based team broke the game open in the second half. Lance Martin scored all six goals for the Wildcats for a new North Gaston school record. Wesley Bridges got the KM ‘goal with an assist from Andy Ross. "North Gaston is probably the second best team in the confer- ence," said KM Coach Dan Potter. "Our team played very well. We had several scoring opportunities. It was by far our best game of the year." Kings Mountain had several key players injured in the second half as North Gaston broke the game open.

To go out there and play them that good of a game for a half speaks really well of our young players. "We're encouraged about the re- mainder of the season,” he added.

Defensively, the young Mountaineers gave up a lot of ground but plan to turn things around this week. "We invite all the fans to come to City Stadium Saturday to cheer us on against Lincolnton, which is playing its first year in the Greater Gaston Football Conference," said KM Coach Jeff Putnam. "I don't guess a Lincolnton team has played in City Stadium since the high school teams stopped playing down there."
