¥ 5 3 ¥ > * y October 24, 2012 GARY STEWART. Sports Editor Key players who were in- + jured in Crest’s narrow vic- tories over North Gaston and Hunter Huss the previous * two weeks returned to action Friday night and Kings : Mountain, severely weak- + ened by key injuries over the ~ course of the season and dur- © ing Friday’s game, couldn’t corral the Chargers in a 59- 27 loss at John Gamble Sta- dium. . The loss dropped the Mountaineers to 3-7 overall in a season that has seen their roster depleted by a high ameunt of injuries and disciplinary action. Several other starters left early in Friday’s game, including _ linebacker Alex Reynolds and defensive back/wide re- ceiver Tico Crocker. The Mountaineers had lost sev- eral starters earlier in the year, and linebacker Jacob Miller was lost for the sea- + son a week earlier at Noth Gaston. ~ players were keys Some of Crest’s returning as the Chargers claimed the game early by rushing to a 38-7 halftime lead. After Crocker Reynolds went down, the Mountaineer defense had only three players on the field that were starters the first week of the season, and two of those missed later - games with injuries. Crest, in general, and run- ning back Jalin Moore in particular, took advantage, rolling up 618 yards total of- fense. Moore rushed for 261 yards and five touchdowns and quarterback PJ Brooks added 121 yards rushing and 134 passing. “We were just out- manned,” noted Moun- taineer coach Greg Lloyd. “We had a lot of new guys ‘out there, which is good for getting some experience but going against a team with that kind of experience pres- ents a problem. It’s hard to believe somebody beat them. They’re the best looking team we’ve seen.” The KM offense got a big See MOUNTAINEERS, 5B and - The Kings Mountain Herald | www.kmherald.net Page 3B ‘Mountaineers lose to Crest, Clark breaks passing record _ MOUNTAINEER POSTGAME KM - 0:42.5 - DaShon Guest 6 pass from Jonathan Clark (Je- remiah Early kick), 53-yd. drive in 8 plays following 22-yd.
