| men’s soccer feam opens its
season next week with non-
conference games against
. Cleveland County rivals.
The Mountaineers. will
battle the Burns Bulldogs
! Monday at Burns and will
travel to Shelby on Wednes-
day.
Second-year head coach
; Dan Potter has 17 players
, returning from last year’s
| team and is optimistic about
, seeing the team improve on
, its 2011-12 record.
“We have seven seniors
this year and it’s time for
them to shine,” Potter noted.
Kings Mountain didn’t
win that many games last
year, but the Mountaineers
have worked hard during
the off-season to put them-
selves in a better position to
be more competitive in a
strong Big South 3A Con-
ference.
The Mountaineers return
their top two scorers, Jere-
miah Early and Chase Hul-
lender. Potter expects both
to have a good season.
_ says
“Jeremiah and Tyler
Herndon are both kicking
for the football team along
with playing soccer,” Potter
noted. “We look for Hullen-
der to have a good season as
well. We will miss Adam
Bridges, our senior captain,
and Durham Harmon, who
did a great job. in goal last
year.
“But we have a very
solid group of players,” he
added. “We expect them to
do well. We’re at least look-
ing for a .500 season.”
Potter looks for C.J. War-
ren to be a big contributor,
especially on defense, and
co-captain Andrew
Buchanan is a “fantastic
leader and will be very
strong this year.”
The team also welcomes
back Jon Mark Smith, who
is concentrating on soccer
again after spending last
season on the football team.
“He’s really going to help us
out,” Potter noted.
The Mountaineers have
lost two players to injury al-
ready. Isaiah Cole broke a

The KMTD is beginning
its sixth year and to date has
raised well over $125,000
for weight equipment, uni-
forms, helmets and other
needs of the football teams
and other athletic teams.
The club is currently
holding a $800,000-plus
fund drive to build a new
field house at John Gamble
Stadium. Donations and
pledges to date are slightly
less than $600,000 and the
club foresees being able to
break ground for the build-
ing this fall. Once the field
house project is funded, the
club will begin raising funds
to build a new press box and
concession stands.
Coach Dan Potter
bone in his foot at basketball
camp and will be out several
weeks, and Jack Zyble suf-
_ fered some torn ligaments in
the spring and could miss
the entire season.’
“We’re limping into the
season but with a lot of ex-
citement,” Potter said.
Potter believes the hard
work the players spent with
new assistant coach Ted
Trahan in the weight room
this summer will pay big
dividends.
“He started with the
players in the weight room
on June 13 and many of
them were in there four and
five days a week even
though it’s not mandatory,”
Potter noted. “We can al-
ready see a big difference in
their conditioning and their
* 40-yard dash time and verti-
cal leap. They have put in a
lot of pre-season work and
they’re excited to get on the
field, finally. The guys have
worked exceptionally hard
and it’s really helped a lot.”
The Mountaineers will
scrimmage in a jamboree
Friday at Burns. They will
play seven non-conference
games before opening Big
South play on Monday,
Sept. 10 at home against
South Point.
Potter looks for Ash-
brook and Forestview to
battle for the conference
championship, with South
Point and Crest also fielding
good teams.
“We find ourselves on
the lower part of the path,
but we’re going to win some
games this year,”
said. “There’s no doubt
about it.”

KMHS launches $5K
raffle to support athletics
In an effort to re-focus all of the fund-raisers held by nu-
merous athletic teams, Kings Mountain High School’s ath-
letic department and the Kings Mountain Touchdown Club
have joined forces to begin a $100 raffle ticket sale which
will result in $5,000 being given away at two football games
this fall.
One ticket entitles you to a chance in both of the draw-
ings. $5,000 will be given, away at the homecoming game
against Ashbrook on October 5 and $5,000 will be given
away at the final regular season home game against Crest on
October 18.
Athletic director Dustin Morehead hopes the raffle will
become an annual event and will help upgrade athletic facil-
ities and channel the numerous fundraisers teams conduct
each year.
No athletic teams will have individual fund raisers, but all
of them will benefit from this one big fund raiser based on a
percentage of each ticket sold.
“It is my hope that we as a Mountaineer Nation will join
together in support of all our teams to create an empire of
champions,” Morehead said.
Raffle tickets are already on sale. They can be purchased
at the.school office or from-any coach or athlete.
