Greg Evans won the men’s singles for the second year in a row, becoming the first bowler in the 73-year history of the National Duckpin Bowling Congress to repeat as National Champion. And, he had to beat two other Kings Mountain bowlers to do it. Evans bowled a 179-149-148-476 (108)--584 to win by 15 pins over Zeke Rybczyk, who rolled a 150-126-149--425 (144)--569. John Dilling finished third with a Kings Mountain quarterback Matt Ash (7) keeps the ball for some of his 117 yards rushing in Friday’s 28-27 overtime victory over 120-150-134--404 (156) - 560.

The Mountaineers host coun- ty rival Burns Friday night at 7:30 for their annual homecom- ing game, then hit the road to face an up-and-coming R-S Central eleven before returning home for back-to-back games “against perennial SWC powers East Rutherford and South Point. Kings Mountain will be seek- ing its sixth straight victory over the Bulldogs this week. Kings Mountain defeated Ron Greene's charges every year during the Ron Massey coach- ing era, including a 63-7 waltz last year in a game which saw * the Mountaineers score on ev- ery offensive possession and star running back Anthony er Hillman tie a school record with five touchdowns. Burns, which suffered heavy graduation losses, plus had some of its key players transfer to Crest over the off-season, can show only a 1-5 overall record but the Bulldogs have im- proved every week. Two weeks ago, they knocked off one of the, Northwestern 4A Conference's GARY STEWART / HERALD Editor of The Herald Kings Mountain survived a couple of first-half mistakes that led to Forestview touchdowns, scored two touchdowns in the fourth period to force an over- time, then got a big extra point from Matt Bridges following an overtime touchdown by Jamal Byers to edge the Jaguars 28-27 in their first Southwestern 3A Conference game Friday night at John Gamble Stadium. The victory was a big boost for the morale of the Mountaineers, who had gone through some off-the-field dis- tractions and blowout losses to Shelby and Crest in their previ- ous two games. The win also put the Mountaineers squarely into the running for the SWC champi- onship and a state playoff berth. Forestview, which dropped its second straight SWC game after opening the season with five straight wins, closes out its conference slate at home Friday against North Gaston's Wildcats. The Jaguars will then complete their regular season with nonconference games against Bessemer City and Hunter Huss, and then await the outcome of the SWC race to see whether or not they qualify for the state playoffs for the sec- ond straight year. Critical mistakes by Kings Mountain special teams helped Forestview build a 14-6 lead at intermission. The Jaguars scored a third period TD to go up 21-6, but the Mountaineers kept their focus and battled back to force a 10-yard overtime and hand first-year coach Dave Farquharson his first conference win. Winning his first game was important, Farquharson said, but more so for the players. “It felt good for the kids,” he said. “I think it was a win that was very important for them.” Kings Mountain, despite hav- ing two of their starting run- ning backs on the sideline with injuries, had a well-balanced running attack led by senior tailback Jamal Byers, who gained 112 yards in 25 carries and scored the winning TD in overtime, and quarterback Matt Ash, who gained 115 yards in 17 carries and scored on a pair of one-yard plunges in the fourth quarter to tie the game at 21-ail. The Mountaineer defense did a credible job against Forestview’s 1,000-yard rusher, Mario Dye, even though he gained 122 yard rushing and scored two touchdowns. The See Mounties, 3B top teams, Alexander Central, and last week they played a good game against 4A power Crest despite a 36-0 score. “Burns is going to be good,” says KM Coach Dave Farquharson. “They're going to create some turnovers and they're going to try to do some things that’s going to put them in a position to win. They're go- ing to play some good defense.” All-Conference linebacker Calvin Bostic keys the Bulldogs’ defensive charge. On offense, sophomore Troy Goss is coming on strong at quarterback and All-Conference tight end Ben See Burns, 3B Youngsters show their skills in KM kickboxing tourney Students ages 5-15 who participate in self-de- fense training at the Eng School of Self Defense in Kings Mountain showed their skills Saturday morning with a continuous fight/ point karate tournament in the basemen of the Eng School on North Piedmont Avenue. Instructor John Hall stages tournaments every three months for students to compete and show off their skills to their parents. The matches consist of two one-minute rounds, with emphasis on placing kicks and punches to key areas on padded equipment, and not to the face. In the four matches last week, Matthew Turner defeated Michael Johnson, Cody Hensley defeat- ed Andrew Turner, Brittany Radica defeated Justin Watkins, and Colt Coffey defeated Joaquin Minter. After the tournament, students went upstairs ~ and broke boards and worked on their stance, and had a birthday party for instructor Brian Boling, who turned 34 years old. The students also witnessed a first degree black belt ceremony for instructor Basil Shaw. Hall said the self-defense classes stress the ba- sics of plinching and kicking, and learning when and how to react. “We work a lot on this type of fighting - at least once a week,” Hall noted.” Kids classes are nor- mally held each Tuesday and Thursday from 5-6 p-m., but beginning October 31 the age groups will be altered and the kids class will be for ages 5-12, and a teen class from 13-up. “This could best be described as control kick- boxing,” Hall said of the tournament. “It’s based on points, but you just keep going. It’s a continu- ous fight until the end of the period. !
