Liven though Coach Denny.
Hicks isn't overjoyed with his
team's 1-2-1 mark, he still feels
they have the potential to contend
for one of the three state playoff
positions available to SWC teams.
R-S Central opened its confer-
ence season last week with a 20-10
loss to arch rival East Rutherford,
but the Hilltoppers are 5-1 overall
and, as usual, are highly explosive
on offense.
Veteran Coach Jack Huss pre-
dicted before the season that his
charges would be able to light up
the scoreboard but their defense
would be vulnerable, and those
predictions have proven true. R-S
has beaten Polk County, East
Burke, Chase, McDowell County
and West Caldwell, and the
Hilltoppers scored 51
against West Caldwell.

The offense failed to click for
the first time last week against Fast
- managing only 99 yards total of-
fense - but still scored 10 points
against one of the best defensive
teams in the area.
"Offensively, they are pretty
much a running team,” says Coach
Hicks. "They like to run the option
and they had great success putting
points on the board going into the
East Rutherford game. Like every-
body else, they're in the SWC now
and everybody better play good de-
fense if they're going to have a
chance to win. They ran into a real
good defensive football team in
East Rutherford."
As usual, R-S has an exciting of-
fense. Tailback Warren Barnes is
one of the quickest backs in the
SWC and Huss has an experienced
quarterback in 6-2, 210-pound
Rich Meador, who can run and
pass.

Mooresville over Mountaineers
ings Mountain's Mountaineers
failgd on two early scoring oppor-
tunities, Mooresville grabbed the
mothentum and rolled to a 23-8
nontconference football victory
ot night at KM's John Gamble
Stadium.
The Mountaineers, sparked by a
65-yard run by Shane Logan, had a
first and goal from the five on their
firgt possession, but they were
stopped a foot short of the goal af-
terifour straight carries into the
middle of the line.
On their next possession, the
Mountaineers came up short on a
46-yard field goal attempt by Brian
Lefevers, and that opened the door
for the 2-A Blue Devils to score on
their next three possessions for a
23-0 halftime lead.
The Mountaineers actually held
the upper hand in statistics, gaining
217 yards rushing to 199 for the
Blue Devils, but the missed scoring
opportunities and penalties at the
most inopportune moment killed
the Mountaineers’ chances for vic-
tory. Kings Mountain had only 50
yards in penalties for the game, but
had a 20-yard touchdown pass
from Lamont Littlejohn to Kevin
Melton and a 75-yard fumble re-
covery return for a touchdown by
Eric Tate nullified.
Mountaineer mentor Denny
Hicks said failing to score on the
first drive of the night was crucial
and it gave the Blue Devils the im-
petus they needed to get their
offense moving.
"We got down there and they put

"We had worked on that during the
week but didn't block it correctly.
That was going to be our bread and
butter play when we got down
there. When you take the play
you've worked on for that situation
and don't execute correctly it takes
some wind out of your sail."
Still, Hicks said, a good football
team will face such adversity and
must rebound from it. ]
"If you play this game there are
going to be challenges and you
have to accept them," he said. "It
