a Page 2B The Kings Mountain Herald | www.kmherald.net August 22, 2012 Mountaineers face Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers face a much tougher test Friday when they travel to Fallston to take on the defending SMAC champion Burns Bulldogs. The Bulldogs have won the SMAC the past two seasons and look for a threepeat. They fell to county rival Crest 14-13 last : week but probably should have won that game as they gave Crest eight points (a fum- "ble recovery in the end zone and a safety) . and then failed on a two-point conversion try + following their second TD in the final - minute. Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd is im- pressed with Burns’ size and speed and hopes his Mountaineers will be at the top of their game as they try to break a two-year losing streak to the Bulldogs. “They have incredible size,” noted Lloyd. “Their defensive front is humongous, They play very aggressive. Their run defense is very good, their free safety is very good, and they know where they’re supposed to be.” “big” test at Burns The Bulldogs run a spread offense and their new quarterback, Chris Montgomery, looks very impressive. “He is a dual threat,” said Lloyd. “He runs and throws well. They have some very tall receivers.’ . Lloyd says the key for the Mourtiestt : will be eliminating big plays and executing on offense. “We had some mistakes on defense last week,” he noted. “We missed some assign- ments and lost contain several times. Speed is our weakness on defense so we have to take better angles.” Lloyd said he was happy with the de- fense’s aggressiveness. “That’s going to help us,” he said. “Offensively, we have to build on what we did last week. We have to take what they give us and execute. We have to be able to control the ball and put pressure on their de- fense. We can’t let their big linemen domi- nate.” Former players to be honored at Mountaineer football games Kings Mountain High School’s football team is honoring all former Mountaineers at designated foot- ball games this fall.
