Wesley Dixon capped a 65-
yard drive with a four-yard -
touchdown for a 6-0 lead in the
first quarter.
Kings Mountain drove to the
Lincolnton 18 yard line in the
second quarter, but fumbled.
Lincolnton couldn’t move the
all and had to punt, and the
Kings Mountain's offensive
line, led by Wilder Clark, had
another outstanding game. The
defense, led by Marquiz Norris
and Antonio Feaster, gave its
best effort of the year, Heffner
said.
Chavis Poole and Wesley
Dixon were cited for their out-
standing running.
| BOWLING
From 1B
Evans’ victory gave Kings
Mountain bowlers their fourth
national championship in the
past five years. Irene Ruley won
the women’s singles in 1996
and Allen Myers won the men’s
singles in 1997.
Kings Mountain competed
during the third weekend of the
five-week event. Dilling was the
singles leader going into
Sunday’s action when his top
score was beaten by his two
teammates from Mountain
Lanes Bowling Center, located
in the basement of Dilling
Heating.
Winning is nothing new to
Evans, who literally grew up
with a duckpin bowling ball in
his hand.
A native of the Washington,
DC area, Evans began bowling
at the age of 8 in youth leagues
in northern Virginia. He was
Bowler of the Year one year and
qualified for several national
tournaments during an era
when youth had to win their
state tournaments to make it to
the national event.
He bowled on the duckpin
pro tour for three years before
having to undergo surgery, and
had to stop bowling for nine
years.
By that time he had moved to
Charlotte, and on a trip to visit
his parents an acquaintance told
him about Dilling’s lanes in
Kings Mountain. He checked
into it and began bowling in the
Tuesday and Thursday Mixed
Leagues last season.
He carried the highest aver-
age of all KM bowlers last year,
and won the national champi-
onship in Rhode Island. He al-
so carries a 145 average in the
Virginia Pro Tour, where he
bowls a weekend a month and
is the national points leader at
this time. A 145-average in
duckpins would be the equiva-
lent of a 210 in tenpins, Evans
said. -

“fd ike to see more in North
Carolina,” he said. “Duckpin
bowling is a sport that catches
on real quickly. Like anything, it
can be very-frustrating and very
enjoyable. But it’s perfect for
kids and senior citizens, who
find it difficult to bowl the big
: (tenpin) balls.”
* What's riext for a man who
has apparently done it all in
duckpin bowling?
Winning a third national
championship next year in
"Connecticut would be nice, but
difficult, he says. He would also
like to bowl a perfect game.
“There has never been a per-
his bowling skill and form re-
turned so quickly after having a
spinal fusion in 1990.
“Ijust picked it right back
up,” he said. “But I didn’t ex-
pect to win the national cham-
pionship two years in a row.”
The victory was extra special
because it came near his “old
stomping grounds,” he said.
“It was also nice to bring it
back to North Carolina,” he
said. “There’s not many duck-
pin bowlers in North Carolina.
It’s extra sweet to bowl against
the people you used to bowl
with and come back home a
winner.” fect game, in duckpin bowling,”
Finding time to keep one’s he Said. “But it’s going to hap-
duckpin skills sharp in North ; pen sooner or later.”
Carolina is difficult. The four-
lane Mountain Lanes Center in
Kings Mountain, and the six-
lane Burlington YMCA center
are the only duckpin establish-
ments in the state.
That's really surprising con-
sidering the tremendous inter-
est in the sport in northern
states, Evans said.
‘Winning the points champi-
ping his all-time best 227 single
* game and 552 three-game se-
ries.
