‘| than 21 a day - go out about Wednesday, April 28, 2010 KM place for Lloyds Football season is still four months away but it’s again time to get excited in Kings Mountain. The Mountaineers have been going through weight training for several weeks and now are beginning to get outside to work on skill development. Small groups - no more three times a week. Before long it will be time for mini-camp, then summer 7- on-7 competition, and fi- nally, on August 1, official practice will begin. It’s good to see the Mountaineers outside, and it’s good to see head coach Greg Lloyd out there, too. As most of you know by now, Lloyd’s alma mater, Crest, lost head coach Roy Kirby to Dutch Fork, SC about a month ago and since that time there has been speculation that Lloyd could be the Chargers’ next coach. Lloyd ended that speculation last week when he de- clined an offer from Crest to succeed Kirby as the Chargers’ head coach. That had to be a tough decision for Lloyd since he grew up in the Crest community, played sports there and was an assistant coach there for several years. Lloyd was the offensive coordinator for two Crest state championship teams before landing his first head coaching job at East Gaston in 2005. Lloyd recently completed his third year with the Mountaineers and that short stretch has already pro- GARY STEWART Sports Editor Mountaineers finished 11-4 and fell just one game short of playing for the state championship. Lloyd is excited about the prospects for the Mountaineers in 2010 and well into the future. ’ As it should be, Crest made Lloyd its number one priority in its coaching search. Lloyd was willing to in- terview because he will always love Crest and has all’ the respect in the world for the people there. He was of- ficially offered the job last Wednesday. He and his fam- ily discussed the matter for a couple of days, and on Friday Lloyd declined. It had to be a gut-wrenching time for the popular KM mentor and his family, but the Lloyds have grown to love Kings Mountain and Kings Mountain has grown to love the Lloyds. Lloyd said there was a time when he would have said yes to Crest. Now is not the time. “It’s the only job I would ever consider leaving Kings Mountain for,” he said. “Crest is first class and does things right. But Kings Mountain is the best place for Greg Lloyd and his family.” We wish Crest the best as their search continues. They will land a good coach and their football tradition will continue. But, as far as I’m concerned the big win- . | ner in this coaching search is Kings Mountain. duced one of the best teams in school history.
