Their numbers are small, but they play good, hard football and sometimes that’s the best scenario. “They're not a bad throwing team,” he added. “They can hurt you throwing the ball, and they've also got some speed. Their quarterback is pretty good.” Farquharson’s main goal this week may not be so much in containing Ogle, but in getting his team re-focused. Because of a rash of injuries and disci- plinary problems, the first-year coach is looking at a number of personnel changes. First off, the Mountaineers must come up with a new quar- terback to replace All- Conference senior Matt Ash, the team’s second leading rusher, who sprained a shoulder joint in last week's game. Farquharson has three op- tions. He can start senior Renaldo Tate, who started the first half last week; call fresh- man Derek Smith up off the JV team; or move Tyler Adams, who has seen action at wide re- ceiver and running back, to quarterback. “We'll take a look at all of that this week,” Farquharson said. “We're going to have to shore up our starting quarter- back and back-up quarterback.” Ash is expected to miss the next two games. Also on the injured list are starting defensive standouts Daniel Mason (dislocated shoulder) and Justin Early (knee). All-Conference offensive line- man Javorous Wilson has missed the last two games, and will likely miss the next two. He will be undergoing a heart catheterization later in the week, but according to Farquharson if all goes well “he should feel like a million bucks when he walks out of the hospi- tal” and be able to play the fol- BURNS From 8A second half when KM was trail- ing 17-7, put some spark into the offense, going 21 yards around end as the ~~ Mountaineers worked the ball into Burns territory. But the Bulldog defense rose to the oc- casion and stopped a KM fourth down attempt at the 37. On their next possession, - Burns linebacker Rocky : Lawrence stripped the ball fro Ash at the KM 39, and picked it up and rambled to the three yard line to set up Burns’ clinching TD, a three-yard run by sophomore Nelson Woods, who finished the game with 136 yards rushing and three TDs. Woods had scored on a sev- en-yard run in the first quarter for a 7-0 Burns lead, and later added a two-yard TD run. Kings Mountain tied the score briefly on an 11-yard run by Ash in the second period, but Burns sophomore Calvin Miller returned the ensuing kickoff 70 yards to the KM 20 to set up Woods’ second TD. Burns kicker Cline Ingle then became a very important part of «the Burns’ upset effort. He nailed a 39-yard field goal with 40 seconds left in the half to ig the Bulldogs on top 17-7, and all of his kickoffs went into the end zone, resulting in the Mountaineers having to start their drives at the 20 yard line. Despite turning the ball over on half of their possessions, the Mountaineers were in scoring range on two other occasions. An 80-yard pass reception by Joe Leach in the first half gave the Mounties a first down at the Burns five, but the Mounties . missed a short field goal at- tempt. A 47-yard option keeper off the right side by Ash gave the Mounties a first down at the Burns 14 with 2:28 remaining in the third quarter. But Ash suf- fered a shoulder injury on the play, and on the next play the Mounties fumbled the ball. That would be the final time the Mountaineers touched the football, as the Bulldogs used the inside running of Woods, Tijuan Griggs, Calvin Bostic and Lawrence to hold onto the football for the final 14 minutes of play. “Between our penalties and turnovers, we basically put Burns in a position to win the game,” Farquharson said. “They're a good enough ball team that, if you do that, they're more than capable of taking ad- vantage of it. “We did not carry out our blocking assignments, and we lacked intensity on both sides of the football.” Farquharson wouldn't use the disciplinary action and the y Joounting injury problems as “excuses. “The disciplinary action that took place were some individu- al situations where people didn’t behave in the school building,” Farquharson said. “It’s one of those situations that you have to have rules and you have to have consequences. If football means enough to you you'll put the team first and do what you're supposed to do. This team has to realize that you have to make adjustments and move on. “The adjustments we made were good, we just were not fo- cused and we were not intense and, by no means were we lowing week. Defensive lineman Steven Blanton and defensive back Chad Anderson are out for the season with a knee and thumb injury, respectively. Defensive lineman Derek Dixon (shoul- der) is also probably out for the season. Farquharson hopes running back Cortney Smith, who suf- fered a knee injury in the Crest game two weeks ago, will be ready to play this week. Regardless of who's on the field, Farquharson and staff have to do something to get the Mountaineers back to playing like a traditional Kings Mountain football team. “We've got to find a way to get some intensity as a team,” he said. “We're not out of the picture by any means, but we're in the conference and if we don’t play like we're capable of playing teams that we should beat are going to beat us.” Despite a 0-2 conference and 3-3 overall mark and a lack of depth, R-S Central has enough experienced athletes to cause the Mountaineers a lot of prob- lems. “We're going to take a look at what we've got on the field this week, and we're going to chal- lenge some kids to step up and play and try to find a winning JVs beat Burns, host R-S tonight Kings Mountain High's JV football team ran its record to 3- 3 Thursday night with an 18-13 victory over Burns.
