But several ; ' times he was thrown for - losses by the Mountaineer line and linebackers, and on his only big run of the game - the 36-yarder - he was ~ chased down from behind by Michael Douglas. KM probably would have : dominated time of posses- sion even more had the Mountaineers not lost two fumbles. However, on the first play after Haskin’s 36- yard run he fumbled and KM’s Markel Hemphill re- covered it at the KM 17 to put KM’s clinching TD drive in motion. The biggest defensive play came with 5:21 remain- ing. With KM up 20-12, the Wildcats drove from their own 28 to the KM 14. But after a five-yard penalty put the Wildcats on the. 19; Haskin went to the air. KM sophomore defensive back Dillon Frederick, who was just called up from the JV team, intercepted Haskin’s pass inside the 10 and re- turned it to the 24 yard line. Kings Mountain moved steadily down field behind the running of Guest and ran * the clock out at the North seven. “Except for the two fum- bles, our offense played well,” said Coach Lloyd. “The line really played well and 1 thought our running backs had a good game. They both did a nice job. “Except for the one missed extra point, the spe- cial teams played pretty good. We got good play out of a lot of people. Freder- ick’s interception was big. It. was a critical play. Every- body played hard. North Gaston is a pretty good team. That was a good win.” _. 90th YEAR: From page 1B of the end zone the past sev- eral weeks, due largely to the absence of Patterson. Lloyd © feels like he will at least see some playing time this week. “They have. a couple super players (the other being Dane Rogers)” who have committed to Division «I teams. “They have good speed on defense,” Lloyd said. “It’s a big challenge,” he Crest KM’s final home game added. “But if we can play like we did last Friday and stay focused we have a good opportunity.” Lloyd wants to use the same philosophy that paid off for the Mountaineers last week at North Gaston, and that is to keep the Crest of- fense on the sideline. “We want to stay on of- fense and get lots of first downs,” he said, “and pre- ‘vent turnovers. Last year, es- “pecially in the playoff game, we turned the ball over early and it snowballed on us. We need to be sure we tackle on defense and stay on the field on offense and have no mis- takes on special teams. Last. year we gave up a big run deep into our territory on the first play of the game and that’s a killer.” “Lloyd said keeping North _ Gaston’s offense off the field last week frustrated the Wildcats. “We need to use that same formula again.” TEED Tyan DARK (APPROX 7:30) UNTIL...
