and KM finally got on the score-
board.
The tone for the slaughter was
set on the second play of the
- game when an apparent early
snap from center caught KM
quarterback Michael Roberts
looking around and the ball
sailed over his head into the end
zone. Eric Howell of the
Bulldogs fell on it and with only
a minute and 15 seconds gone off
the clock the ‘Dogs were ahead
7-0.
Moments later, Harvey Kee
rambled 51 yards around right
end on Burns’ first offensive play
~ from scrimmage to make it 14-0.
“We came out and had some
turnovers and miscues and did-
n't handle that very well,”
Farquharson said. “The snow-
ball effect took. place and we
couldn't keep up.
“It was one of those situations
where we couldnt do a whole
lot of things right and a good
team capitalized on the mistakes
that we made. You can’t do that
in big games like that. You can’t
make those mistakes and expect
to be in the ball game.”
Lance Camp threw a 32-yard
touchdown pass to Tee Howell
and scored on a 31-yard run to
put Burns up 28-0 after one quar-
ter. The score ballooned to 49-0 at
the halfway mark following runs
of 51 and 24 yards by Camp and
a six-yard run by Brian Scott.
Burns marched the second half
kickoff in for a 20-yard field goal
by Martin which made the score
52-0.
Roberts scored on a five yard
run in the third period, and
Antwan Ross had scoring runs of
five and nine yards in the fourth
quarter for the Mountaineers.
About the best thing that could
be said of the Mountaineers’
effort was that Ross finished
with 107 yards rushing to push
him over the 1,000-yard mark for
the season; and Roberts hit 11 of
.25'passes for 48 yards to surpass

the 1,000-yard passing mark.
However, on this night, most
of his completions were “long
hand-offs” as Burns completely
shut down Kings Mountain's
deep passing game.
“They came in and were able
to match up and play man-to-
man, and when you do that you
have to feel pretty comfortable
with the athletes you're doing
that with,” Farquharson said.
“That allowed them to bring a
little more pressure on us and
took away the deep threat.”
Despite the losing record,
Farquharson said he was pleased
with the Mountaineers’ effort
this year. ; si png
“IL think for the, changes we
made coming in both on offense
and defense, that the kids played
well,” he said. “We had to learn
on the run with a lot of youth. I
was proud of their effort and
their desire to come in and play.
They came in and had to have a
win against R-S Central and did.
“Mistakes and turnovers
seemed to be the big difference
for us this Season,” he added.
“We were trying to get a handle
on that and get that corrected
each week, and that made the
difference in a lot of ball games.”
Farquharson said many of the
KM athletes will be moving into
winter sports and working in the
weight room.
“We look forward. to the spring
and getting out and start work
ing again,” he said. ¢
