The New Season
TRONMEN
From Page 5
Wilson's initial Cherryville
squad finished at 3-8. Better
times are expected in 2001 and
Moss and Craft will be right
there in the middle of things.
Last year when the
Ironmen entertained county foe
Bessemer City at homecoming,
coach Wilson invited the three
living members of the original
Ironmen to join
in the toss of the coin at midfield
prior to the start of the game,
and of course, the elder Craft
was there.
Eli Craft, cousin of Wayne
Craft, also played on that crack
1934 outfit that defeated
Lincolnton, Shelby, Cliffside,
Forest City, Rutherfordton,
Morganton and a local all-star
crew while deadlocking NCSD,
Blacksburg and Kings Mountain.
The names of Moss and Craft
have carried on down the years
of Cherryville football and
thanks to two boys named Chris,
the tradition is carried on in 2001
- 67 years after granddads T.A.
and Wayne started it.
Both elders Moss and Craft
actually started playing football
in 1932 and the ‘34 season
marked their senior year.

the road for five games during
