‘Merchant, Patriots roll over East Lincoln 38-0
At Crest today
for playoff
East Lincoln’s game plan
was obviously to keep the ball
away. from Kings Mountain
in Wednesday’s Tri-County
East Division finale at KM’s
John Gamble Stadium.
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.
Kings Mountain’s Jake Merchant is off and running for one of his four touchdowns in Kings
Mountain Middle’s 38-0 win over East Lincoln Wednesday at John Gamble Stadium.
