Kings Mountain running back Aaron Bolton (22) runs hard up middle in Friday’s game at Fred T. Foard.
GOODE TIMES
Sophomore running back sains 211 yards,
scores four TDs in 44-12 Mountaineer win
By GARY STEWART
Editor of The Herald
A quick start and a concentrated
effort for four quarters made the
difference for Kings Mountain's
Mountaineers Friday in Newton as
they rolled to a 44-12 victory over
Fred T. Foard in their Southwestern
Foothills 3A Conference opener.
After four losses to tough non-
conference competition, the
Mountaineers came out motivated
and ready to turn their fortunes
around. :
Kings Mountain rolled to a 28-6
halftime lead and scored at least
one touchdown in each of the four
quarters.
Fred T. Foard, which fell to its
fourth straight loss after an opening
season win over 2A West Lincoln,
tried to establish a passing game
but Kings Mountain's blitzing
defense wouldn't allow it to be
effective. Even though quarterback
Samy Shreitah, who had passed for
796 yards in the Tigers’ first four
games, hit on 16-of-25 for 119 yards
most of his damage came in the
middle of the field. Foard managed
only a pair of first half field goals
and a short second half touchdown
drive following a KM turnover.
The big story of the game offen-
sively for Kings Mountain was the
strong 1-2 running punch of sopho-
mores Sidney Goode and J.J.
McClain, Goode, the tailback in
KM’s Pro I, had a career high 211
yards on 17 carries and scored four
of the six KM touchdowns. Even
though he didn’t score, McClain
had 17 carries for 86 yards and did
another outstanding job of blocking
for Goode. Quarterback Montrell
Banks added 84 yards in five car-
ries as the Mountaineers rolled to
426 yards rushing and 448 yards
total offense.
“I thought we came out and
played with a little bit more intensi-
ty and played with a little bit more
sense of urgency,” said KM Coach
David Farquharson. “We executed
well, and for the most part I was
pleased that we put together four
quarters of football. We came out
and looked a little rough at the start
of the second half, but we settled
down and played well.”
Kings Mountain fumbled the
opening kickoff but then held the
Tigers to three and out. They then
rolled 43 yards in just four plays
with Goode scoring from 11 yards
out for a 7-0 lead with less than

Mad ‘Dogs here Friday
By GARY STEWART
Editor of The Herald
A top ten football team that is
probably going to be growling will
be coming to Kings Mountains John
Gamble Stadium Friday night in
search of its first Southwestern
Foothills Conference win.
The Burns Bulldogs, pre-season
pick to win the SWFH and the third-
ranked 3A team in the State, was
upset by Gastonia Forestview 36-35
in a non-conference game last week
at Burns. That was the Bulldogs’ first
loss after four straight wins to open
the season.
Kings Mountain, on the other
hand, had experienced four straight
losses against top-notch non-confer-
ence competition before defeating
Fred T. Foard 44-12 in its opening
conference game.
With Kings Mountain's continued
improvement in the running game,
Coach Dave Farquharson said he |
likes the Mountaineers’ chances of
handing the Bulldogs a second
straight defeat this week.
Since lop-sided losses to East
Gaston and South Point to open the
