JVs beat St. Stephens, at Hickory for final game By GARY STEWART Editor of The Herald Kings Mountain bounced back from an early deficit to defeat St. Stephens 28-12 in junior varsity football action Thursday night at John Gamble Stadium. The victory improved the Mountaineers’ record to 8-1 overall and 5-0 against Southwestern Foothills Conference oppo- nents. The Mountaineers will travel to Hickory tonight for their final game of the season against a Red Tornadoes team that is also unbeaten against conference competi- tion. This will mark the second time in the past three years that the Mountaineers and Red Tornadoes have played for the mythical SWFH JV championship in the last game of the seasOn at Hickory. Si Bea gaz 26.1 The loss was only the second of thé yeat:! for St. Stephens, which earlier fell to Hickory. The Indians drove the opening kickoff 55 yards to take a 6-0 lead on a one-yard quar- terback sneak by Patrick Johnson. The lead was short-lived, however, as the Mountaineers drove the ensuing kickoff 71 yards to take the lead. Quarterback Ryan Burton scored on a 24-yard run and Brian —Kies kicked the extra point for a 7-6 lead. Kings Mountain running back Antwan Ross circled left end for an apparent 58-yard touchdown run early in the second period, but the score was nullified by holding. Johnson then intercepted a Ryan Burton pass and returned it to the Kings Mountain 35 yard line. After a sack by Demarius Grier and Tyrone Cannedy the Indians converted a fourth and 11 situation and later scored on a six-yard Johnson touchdown pass to Corey Bowman. Again, the lead was short-lived as the Mountaineers drove the ensuing kickoff in for a 14-12 halftime lead. Nate Marble caught a key pass to keep the drive alive, and Ross circled left end for a 10-yard score with 47 seconds left. Ross returned the second half kickoff to the St. Stephens 34 yard line, and Johnny Phillips went the distance on a reverse on the first play from scrimmage to, give the Mountaineers a 21-12 lead. The Indians had only one serious scoring opportunity in the second half as KM’s defense, led by Ryan Skibo, Jarod Rainy, Cannedy, Avery Jordan, Corry Branham Marquiz Norris, C.J. Cooke, Michael Cline and Grier kept them in check. The Indians recovered a fumble at the KM 36 with 7:34 remaining, and a pass from Johnson to Darren Sherrill gave them a first down at the KM nine yard line. But Rainy intercept- ed a pass in the end zone and returned to the 29 yard line.
