Johnny Phillips (21) scores after catching pass in JV game with Fred T. Foard
JV Mounties blank Foard,
battle Burns away tonight
By GARY STEWART
Editor of The Herald
Kings Mountain recovered from losing a
fumble on the first play of the game to roll
to a 27-0 victory over Fred T. Foard in junior
varsity football action Thursday night at
John Gamble Stadium.
The win gives the Mountaineers a 1-0
Southwestern Foothills and 4-1 overall
record heading into a game tonight at 7
o'clock at Burns High School. Kings
Mountain returns home next week against
Crest.
After the fumble, the Mountaineers
stopped Foard on downs at the KM 19 yard
line and then reeled off touchdowns on
three straight possessions for a 21-0 halftime
lead.
After a keeper by quarterback Ryan
Burton for a first down, and two straight
first down runs by Johnny Phillips, Burton
pitched to Antwan Ross on a sweep around
left end and Ross rambled 34 yards for a
touchdown. Derrick Marble’s PAT from
placement gave the Mountaineers a 7-0 lead
with 4:16 left in the first quarter.
Following a Foard punt, George Mayes
reeled off a 28-yard run up the middle to set
up a 14-yard touchdown pass from Burton
ta Phillips for a 14-0 lead with 32.4 seconds
left in the first period.
Chase Gibson's sack of the Foard quarter-
back forced Foard to punt again on its next
possession from its own seven yard line,
and KM gained possession at the Foard 29.
Burton hit Phillips with a 23-yard pass for a
first down at the six yard line, and following
two penalties Phillips swept left end for a
21-yard touchdown run and a 21-0 lead
with 7:22 left in the half.
Demarius Grier sacked the Foard quarter-
back on the Tigers” opening possession of
the second half, forcing a punt which
Phillips returned 30 yards to the Foard 38
yard line. On first down Nate Marble caught
a 38-yard touchdown pass to give the
Mountaineers a 27-0 lead.
After that the Mounties began substituting
freely, and eventually all 38 members of the
team saw action.
Foard’s threatened to score twice in the
second half. Midway of the third quarter the
Tigers drove to the KM 41 yard line. On
fourth down, they had a receiver open in
the end zone but KM defensive back Jarod
Rainy made a spectacular play to tip the ball
away from the intended receiver.
Late in the game the Tigers recovered a
fumble at the Mountaineer 23 and worked
their way to a first and goal at the one. But
KM'’s Michael Cline recovered a fumble to
end the threat.
