ing conference game.
“Our destiny is in our
own hands,” said KM Coach
Monty Deaton. “All we
have to do is go out and
beat the other teams in our
division and try to beat the
ones that aren’t in our divi-
sion, and we’ll come away
with our second straight
title.”
Ryan Leach went the dis-
tance for the Patriots, scat-
tering seven hits, walking
only one and striking out 11.

“He did an excellent job
keeping some good West
Lincoln hitters off balance
and not letting them get
their hits when they needed
them,” Deaton said .
Kings Mountain also
played outstanding defense,
committing only one error
which led the West Lincoln's
first run in the third inning.

The Kings Mountain Herald
Rachels also leaving
KM football program
By GARY STEWART
Editor of The Herald
Kings Mountain High lost its third assis-
tant football coach in less than a week
Tuesday when offensive coordinator Milton
Rachels announced that he would not be
returning this year.
Rachels, who operates the Dairy Queen in
Shelby, had been a non-teacher assistant for
the Mountaineers since the late 1990s. He
served as quarterback coach during the lat-
ter part of Ron Massey's tenure here and
was offensive coordinator /quarterback
coach for three years under Dave
Farquharson.
Rachels was not available for comment.
Coach Farquharson said he wasn’t sure if
the position would be filled since it was a
non-teaching position.
“We just haven't crossed that bridge yet,”
he said. “We'll tinker with it.”
Farquharson indicated that he may call
the offensive plays himself.
“Milton felt more comfortable in our
scheme calling the plays himself as opposed
to being up top (on the pressbox),” :
Farquharson said. “We tried him up top and’
me calling the plays but he felt more com-
fortable on the sidelines. Our coordinating
really came out of our meetings between
myself, Coach (Mike) Willbanks, Coach
(Jon) Fleisher and Coach Rachels. We came
up with the offensive game plan for that
week.
“That was something everybody con-
tributed to and helped that plan along each
week. After our first year Milton said he felt’
more comfortable working on the sidelines
with me than talking to me from up top. He
did the work with our quarterbacks calling
the plays and put someone else up top.”
Farquharson said late Wednesday morn-
ing that he had received four resumes for
the assistant defensive coach position which
will come about with the resignation of
Tony Leigh. Three of the four applicants are
from out of state.
“Football coaches are hard to find,”
Farquharson said
