MOUNTAINEERS: have a night to remember; KM running back ties school’s touchdown record

Jeremiah Early for a 3-0 lead, and following
that with touchdowns runs of 6, 40 and 8
yards by Guest for a 23-7 halftime lead. The
Cavaliers were successful on just one of their
four first half drives, with quarterback T.J.
Watkins throwing a 13-yard tipped touch-
down pass to Stamey.
Watkins got the Cavaliers back in the
game briefly when he rambled 61 yards
around left end on the first play from scrim-
mage in the third period cutting the margin
to 23-13.
It stayed that way for awhile, but the Cav-
aliers were playing a lot of people on both
offense and defense and they eventually
tired. Watkins left the game midway of the
third period with cramps and the Cavaliers
had to punt from their own 31 yard line after
Mountaineer defensive end Landon Keeter
threw reserve quarterback Austin Hollifield
for a five-yard loss on third down.
The Mountaineers began to blow the
game open when Guest broke through a huge
hole on the right side of the Mountaineer line
and rambled 41 yards for his fourth TD for
the night and-a 29-13 lead.

GARY STEWART / HERALD
East Rutherford receiver Stamey i is about to feel the pain of a hit by Kings Mountain line-
backer Alex Reynolds (5) in Friday’s season-opener at Gamble Stadium.
East rebounded briefly after fair-catching
a kickoff at the 44 yard line. Edgerton broke
a 45-yard run down the sideline before being
chased down by KM corner back Tico
Crocker at the seven. Kalael Hopper sacked
Hollifield for a five-yard loss but McIntyre
broke through’ the line for a 12-yard TD that
cut the margin to 29-19.
Kings Mountain answered with a quick
touchdown sparked by a 22-yard kick return
by Trevin Torres, who was tackled by the
face mask and put the offense in possession *
at the 44. Guest rambled 19 yards on a screen
pass, then tacked on another run of 11 yards
around left end. On a first down gain of 10
yards from the 28, Guest was tackled out of’
bounds and that 9-yard half-the-distance
penalty set up Guest’s record-tying TD, a 9-
yard burst around the left side.
“It was a real good start, as first games
go,” Coach Lloyd said. “It’s much what we
expected. We executed good on offense and
the defense made a lot of stops. We just gave
up some big plays.”
All three East scores occurred on, or were
set up by big plays, but for the game the Cav-
aliers had only five plays to go over 10 yards.
They were thrown for losses or held to no

“Dashon is a good back. He’s a strong
runner and protected the ball.”
