» In Thursday, St^ptember 20, 197B-KINOS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Page $A 0Brooks: Warriors Won’t Be Down Long Mounties Host East Gaston Friday I 1 ■mnnr V) Ok • Kings Mountain's ^^Mountaineers, coming off m Impressive 28-0 victory over 4-A Oastonla Asb- )>rook last week, try to get ja Southwestern S-A Con- ^rence win under their belts Friday night when defending champion Bast iGaston Invades John 'Gamble Stadium. S It's the first home game for the Mountaineers and coach Dan Brooks la hoping a friendly at mosphere will help his charges get rolling In conference play. Kings Mountain Is 1-1 overall, having dropped a 16-e decision to Burns In Its y^conference opener two weeks^ago. East Gaston, which advanced to the State S-A playoffs last fall. Is 0-2, having lost to Bast Lincoln 6-0 and South Point 48-7. coach Brooks Is warmng his Mounties against over- ^ confidence, something that * cost them dearly at Lt’ims two weeks ago. "East Gaston's a whole lot better team than a 48-7 loser," says Brooks. “They played well against South Point until they fell behind. Then they lost their momentum and South Point kept picking It up." * Brooks nas a great dead of respect for East Gaston, which defeated the Mountaineers the last two years In a row. “East Gaston's not going to be down long," said Brooks. “They're very competitive. We can't let ^ up a bit. We've got to play * every bit as good. If not better, than we did last week against Ashbrook." The Mountaineers gave one of their best efforts In years lAst week, rolling up aimuBt SOO yards total offense and holding the Green Wave to 60. Ash- brook crossed midfield W only once. “As long as our kids are willing to work like they did last week, we’ll be all right,” said Brooks. "But we’re still not where we need to be. We’ve still got a lot of Improving to do.” Brooks said he’s looking _ for Improvement In the W passing game and a reduction of penalties. tluin “We've been having far too many penalties,” he said. "We were penalised 110 yards against Ash brook. That’ll hurt us In a closer ballgame. “Our offensive line has got to get to the point where It blocks for the pass as well as the run. Our quarterback (Jeff Clonlnger) does a pretty good Job and we’ve got people that can catch the football. We’ve got to work on our patterns and get our receivers where they need to be.” Clonlnger to date has hit on 4-of-8 passes for 84 yards. Tight end Tim Leach has caught three of the tosses for 68 ysirds. The other se-yarder went to split end Mark Schuman for a touchdown against Ashbrook. Leach, one of the state’s better linemen, has been thrown to five times and caught three, was Interfered with once and the other was nullified ■ ;• a penalty. Kings Mountain’s running game has been good with seniors Kevin Mack and Avery Smith leading the way. Mack has rushed for over 200 yards In two games even though he sat out more than naif of the Burns game with leg cramps. Fullback Chris Wright, who has also ran well. Is listed as a doubtful starter for Friday’s contest, so Smith and Maurice Jamerson will be seeing a lot of action at both fullback and tailback. Smith sprained an ankle In the Burns game and aggravated It against Ash brook. End Terry McClain, who injured an ankle In pre season drills, Is back at full strength and backup center Mark Scruggs, who also Injured an ankle In pre-season, Is expected to be In action Friday night. Friday’s kickoff Is set for 8 p.m. “We’re really glad to be coming home to play,” said Brooks. “It makes a lot of difference when you’re playing In front of the home fans. I hope as many people as can will come and get Involved.” 1 > Revival Services Sept. 23-28 Long Creek Presbyterian Church Rev. John W.

After my 4-2 record last week, I’m still not happy with my “scorecarcl’' on the season. It’s now 7-7’ just at .500, and that ain’t like ol’ Fearless. I really dig good- lookin’ girls. I went out the other night with a girl and came home with a lump in my throat. She was a karate expert. One of my teeth was loose, so I went to the dentist and told him to pull it out and put a new one in just like the others-so he put in a tooth with four cava ties. I asked a girl recent ly, “What would I have to give you for just one little kiss?” She replied, “Chloroform!” I said to another sexy- looking miss, “Don’t you think I’m rather good looking?” She replied, “In a way.” I asked, what kind of “What kind of way?” She said, “Away off.” I was so enamored with one girl that 1 said to her, “Oh, my darling, how can I leave you?” She said, “By train, plane or taxi!” 1 took a young lady out for a steak dinner recently. She ate so much they put her face on food stamps two weeks later. Bue enough of this funny bones business. Let’s try our hands, (as in ‘‘KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF ME”) at picking this week’s area prep winners. South Point looked great last week in a ^-7 win over nearby rival East Gaston. Despite the fact that South Point is down to 720 students this year, the grid team apparently hasn’t lost much when it comes to that winning touch. North Gaston invades Friday for Parents Night. The Wildcats are certainly no soft touch, as indicated by last year’s 7-6 Raider squeeker at North Gaston.
