Roberts had a game he'll likely never forget, scoring all three KM touchdowns and accounting for 145 all- purpose yards. Roberts caught eight pass- es for 97 yards, carried the ball three times for 13 yards, and had three kick returns for 35 yards. His two-yard touchdown reception on the last play of the first half cut Shelbys Cedric Roberts scored all three KM touchdowns in 20-14 middle school win over Shelby Wednesday lead to 14-6 and gave the Patriots momentum for the final two quarters. He scored on a 12-yard reverse in the third quarter, and Shariff Burris caught a two-point conversion pass to tie the game at 14-all. Kings Mountain Coach Monty Deaton admitted the Blue Devils “just wore us out” in the first half, but the second half was a totally different story. The Patriots spread their offense in an effort to get the ball into the hands of their “athletes,” and that also helped open up the running game for some big gains by Burris and Tyvegas Goode. Also, the KM defense made some major adjustments and shutout the Shelby offense the rest of the way. Kings Mountain's first half touchdown was impressive for a middle school team. After gaining possession of the ball at the 50 yard line with a minute to play, the Patriots went to what Deaton calls their “fast break” offense, a no huddle with the plays being called at the line of scrimmage. They worked the ball to the two with seven seconds left and threw an incomplete pass to stop the clock. Quarterback Michael Roberts hit Cedric Roberts on a hitch route for the touchdown. “That was big, because it gave our kids some confidence coming into the half,” Deaton said. “Until that point Shelby had been wearing us out. When we'd get a drive going we'd have a penalty. They were a lot bigger than us and were just pounding the ball on us.” Kings Mountain held the Blue Devils on their first posses- sion of the second half and drove down field behind some big runs by Burris for a first down at the 20 yard line. Cedric Roberts made an athletic play on a a reverse, using his quick feet to get around one Shelby defender and break- ing two tackles just before crossing the goal line.
