Kin^s Mfn. On Defense Mountaineers Massacre Trojans 31 to 0 The Kings Mountain “Moun taineers,” traveling like a runaway freight train, com pletely annihilated the Chase High “Trojans” by the whop ping score of 31 to 0. The “Mountaineers” com bined a swift running game with a strong defense to rout tne “Trojans.” ine Kings Mountain team's own mis takes kept the score from be ing even higher. They now sport a fine 2-0 record while Chase is 0-3 and still hasn’t scored this season. Johnson were at it again last night, as each scored two touchdowns. Javon Smith ad ded tile other touchdown.

Both teams are unbeat en and both are coming on real strong. In the pre-season ra tings, the “Mounties” were rated an outside chance, but they definitelyare strong con tenders for the SWC crown.
