The Falcons won the pre- game toss and elected to re- ceive, and with a balanced running attack were able to hold onto the football for four first downs before being stopped on a fourth and nine attempt at the KM 36 yard line. It took the Patriots only five plays to get on the score- board, and they scored on every possession until the last in running up a 38-0 victory to qualify for the Tri-County playoffs that begin today. Kings Mountain, which finished second in the East (their lone division loss was to North Lincoln) will open the playoffs at 5 p.m. at Crest, * the regular season West Divi- sion winner. North Lincoln hosts Shelby, the #2 team from the West, and the win- ners will meet next week for the overall conference cham- pionship. The Patriots, 4-2 overall, got four long touchdowns from Jake Merchant and an- other from Darren McClain. Merchant, who plays both quarterback and wide re- ceiver on offense, went 39 yards on a fourth and one quarterback sneak, and then caught a two-yard conversion pass from Darren Burns to put the Patriots up 8-0 at the 7:52 mark of the second quar- ter. His second touchdown - a 62-yard run around left end - at the 1:30 mark of the second period gave the Patriots a 14- 0 halftime lead. It took the Patriots just two plays to score in the sec- ond half, with Merchant going around end for 49 yards. McClain ran a two- point conversion for a 22-0 advantage. A hook and lateral from Burns to Merchant to Mc- Clain, and a two-point con- version run by Corey Tate, ran the score to 30-0 with 2:31 left in the third period, and Merchant’s fourth TD of the game, a short pass that he turned into a 47-yard touch- down, came with 4:48 re- maining. Trevon Wilson ran the two-point conversion to round out the scoring.
