The Lady Mountaineers were
delighted in a 3-0 victory and
were devastated in a 3-0 loss on
Thursday and Saturday in the
third and fourth round of state
3A playoffs in the KMHS gym.
On Tuesday's semi-final match
against Fred T. Foard, the Lady
Mounties served up a mighty
victory with a dig of success.
They needed to win the best
three out of five games to stay in
the running. The first game was
a close match in the beginning
with points adding up on both
sides. The Foard ladies gained a
six-point lead and the first win
seemed eminent. But the lady
Mounties would not give up.
They pulled out all of the tricks
they had up their sleeves and
like a talented magician delight-
ed the cheering crowd with a
win of 25-22. The first win of the
day, dampened the spirits of the
competing team, but they too
refused to give up so easily.
The first three points of the sec-
ond match were awarded to
Foard, who maintained a point
lead over the Mounties for the
first half of the game. When the
score reached 10-10, the
Mounties were done playing
with their food and gobbled up
points for the remainder of the
match with a final winning score
of 25-16. With two wins under
their belt victory never looked
so attractive. The loyal crowd’s

extra point.

quarterback Alex Reynolds to
Jaylan Watkins into the end
zone for the second touchdown
of the game.
Outstanding on defense were
now,"
cheers grew louder as did the
thunderous stomps in the stands.
Support for the lady Mounties
bounced off of the walls in the
Kings Mountain gymnasium and
‘were soaked up by the team for
energy.
One more win was all they
needed. They felt it. Foard felt it.
The scoreboard showed it. The
lady Mounties maintained a
point lead over the Foard ladies
through most of the game, as the
competition submitted to a loss
of 25-16. The lady Mounties,
after thanking the other team for
the wins, grabbed hands with
teammates past and present.
They formed a large circle and
danced around with cheers for
their success in the middle of the
gym floor. "Reaching this point,
with this team, with these girls is
the highlight of my career right
said Head Coach Bryan
Grant after the Thursday wins.
He said that they played "out of
their minds" on Tuesday and
their success on Thursday was
just another example of their tal-
ents. The Foard ladies played
offense a little differently then
when they saw their match on
Saturday, October 21, he said.
Winning that first match was
very important to the lady
Mounties success, he said. "Enka
is the team that put Kings
Mountain out last year, out of the
playoffs. So we're going to focus
in on that," he said.
Marshia Meeks had eight kills,
two blocks, and five aces during

Wilson, Chad Sanders,

Mount Holly's only TD came

Grant was not sure Thursday
night whether they would have
revenge on Enka or face
Charlotte Catholic in the final
match on Saturday. But an Enka
win showed that they would face
each other once again, this time
on Kings Mountain turf.
Saturday’s final showdown for
the volleyball season was held in
the KMHS gym at 3 pm. The
bleachers on the right side of the
gym were almost entirely full of
cheering fans. Blue, the color of
the Enka Sugar Jets was seen
everywhere on signs and cloth-
in to a loss and worked their way
up the scoreboard to a tie of 23-
23. Battling neck and neck, both
teams fought for a win and the
Sugar Jets walked away victori-
ous a second time with a final
score of 26-24.
The Mountie ladies spirits
grew weary as they could smell
the impending defeat. The Sugar
Jets held the point lead for most
of the third game and Grant
called a time-out when the score
was 16-21, in favor of Enka. After
a much-needed Mountie huddle
and pep talk the ladies returned

They fought their way back up
the scoreboard to a more satisfy-

ing. Although they were away
from home, many of their loyal
fans came with them to the bat-
tle, drowning out many of the
KM supporters.
The best three out of five wins
were all that was needed to go to
the final round of state champi-
onship play-offs. Just like on
Thursday the first three games
was all it took. The Sugar Jets
stayed ahead in points during
the first game as the Mountie
ladies struggled to catch up.
Enka won 25-21.
Kings Mountain ladies started
out with the points lead in the
second game and maintained the
lead for the majority of the sec-
ond game. Enka refused to give
