JV Mountaineers bite Wildcats 46-12
By GARY STEWART
Sports Editor
Kings Mountain scored
on all six of its first half
possessions to defeat North
Gaston 46-12 in a JV foot-
ball game Thursday after-
noon at John Gamble
Stadium.
+ The game, originally
scheduled to be played at
North Gaston, was moved
to KMHS as part of a JV-
varsity doubleheader. With
heavy rains forecast for Fri-
day night - and the fact that
two of the last three KMHS
homecomings had been
held in pouring rains - the
schools agreed to. move the
varsity game up a day.
The JV Mountaineers
posted their fifth straight
win, and seventh in eight
games overall. They host
Crest in their final home
game Thursday at 7 p.m.
and travel to Forestview
next Thursday for their final
game.
Kings Mountain shared
the wealth on offense as
seven different players
scored a touchdown apiece.
About the only negative
about the KM performance
was the failure to convert
extra points. The Moun-
taineers missed all of their
kick attempts but scored
two point conversions on a
pass to Philip Quinn and a
run by Alex Castellano.
Castellano again led the
rushing attack with 85 yards
on 14 carries, including a
two-yard touchdown run.
Quarterback Jonathan Clark
picked up 34 yards on four
carries and scored on a one-
yard sneak, and also hit 7-
of-8 passes for 132 yards
and three touchdowns.
Cameron Pittman caught
two passes for 29 yards and
a 17-yard touchdown; Jacob
Lineberger caught two
passes for 52,yards and a
41-yard touchdown; and
Quinn caught a 15-yard
touchdown pass. :
Dontarius Simmons
gained 18 yards on six car-
ries. He scored on a three-
yard run and also caught a
29-yard pass.
Kings Mountain’s final
touchdown came on a 75-
yard kickoff return by Jer-
ick Dabbs in the second
- half. Because of ‘the lop-
sided score, the clock ran
continuously in the second
half.
The KM defense, led by
Jose Sappia, Collins Press-
ley, Kavin Swann, Alex
Toms, James Story, Garrett
Fredrick and Cody Griffith,
didn’t allow a first down in
the first half. They held the
Wildcats to three and out on
three possessions, and re-
covered fumbles on two,
but a breakdown in the
kicking game allowed
North Gaston to return a
kickoff to the 14-yard line,
from which point Brandon
Anderson scored with 6:08
left in the half to make the
score 28-6.
Kings Mountain began
substituting at the beginning
of the second half and lost a
fumble at their own 42 to
set up North Gaston’s final
score on a one-yard run by
Corey Staley with 44 sec-
onds left in the third period.
Dabbs returned the Wild-
cats’ kickoff 75 yards to
round out the scoring. North
Gaston made it to the KM
11 late in the game but a
sack by Matthew Shepherd
and a pass break-up by
Tyrece Crawford ended the
threat.
