KM kickers to open season
___ GARY STEWART
Sports Editor
Kings Mountain High's new
men’s soccer coach, Daniel
Wydo, is putting out a plea for
more players.
Not that he is not pleased
with the ones he has. They are
good athletes that are progress-
ing well. But, there's just not
enough of them.
Wydo, whose team opens its
regular season Monday night at
6 p.m. against Hunter Huss at
John Gamble Stadium, has only
14 players. Although he’s confi-
dent he can put a good team on
the field, over a 20-game regu-
lar season, especially if injuries
set in, depth will be a problem.
Wydo welcomes all high
school boys to come out for the
team, either by showing up at
practice each weekday after-
noon at 6 p.m. or by contacting
the school to get his telephone
number and giving him a call.
He said players are also wel-
come to come out after school
starts on Monday, August 25.
Wydo, who has seven years of
coaching in Gaston County, has
only three seniors from last
year’s KM team that qualified
for the state 3A playoffs. Nine
seniors graduated. Most of this
year’s players so far are fresh-
men.
Four players that either start-
ed or saw a lot of playing time
last year are Tony
Chanthaphaeng, Brannigan
Wheeler, Kyle Jarrell, and
Tanner Deaton. Those four,
along with senior Max Dove,

will be looked upon to provide
outstanding play and leader-
ship.
Joining the team this year is
sophomore Jonathon Brucker,
who played at Hope Christian
last year, Matthew Hord and
sophomore Reggie Pina, who
moved to Kings Mountain from
Florida. Other members of the
team are Adam Bridges, Jordan
Stowe, Derek Thammavosonga,
Durham Harmon and David
Dettloff.
“We're very young,” Wydo
says. “We will be limited in a lot
of things. We have such a small
squad. We have only 14 players
and we're interested in picking
up a few more. Being a new
coach it’s hard for me because I
don’t have any teaching experi-
ence at the school and don’t
know who to ask to come out. I
want everyone who's interested
in playing to know that they
can still come out for the team.
“I've talked to the boys
straight up,” he added. “We
know it will be a rebuilding
year. But we have a good solid
starting squad. It'll be hard to
tackle a 20-game schedule with
14 players. The key to our suc-
cess will be if we pick up some
more players. I believe we have
a pretty solid lineup but if
someone goes down to injury
he will be hard to replace. We
need to pick up three or four
more players.”
Wydo fully expects his team
to improve as the season pro-
gresses. By mid to late season,
after he’s had the opportunity
to work with the younger play-
ers, he says the Mountaineers
could be a very good squad.
The Mountaineers should
have one of the top players in
the region in .junior Tony
Chanthaphaeng. Wydo calls
him a college prospect.
“He's an amazing player, def-
initely one of the best players in
our region. He’s one of the best
I've seen. He's very solid,”
Wydo said.
Brucker also is very solid, and
in time Wydo said he will also
be a college prospect.
“From coaching in Gaston
County for so long, I know all of
the players over there,” he said.
“Tony's definitely right up there
with them.”
The Mountaineers will get a
tough test at home on Tuesday,
Sept. 2 when they host
Ashbrook, then they will play
away games against Hunter
Huss, South Point and Crest
before returning home on
September 22 to host Chase in -
their first Southwestern
Conference game.
