the Mountalnettes will be trying
to improve on an 11-3 record.
“We had a good season,”
noted Guy. ”We had some real
good times and a few disap
pointments. We could have gone
further but things don’t always
go the way you hope they will.”
Looking ahead to next year,
Guy said the Mountalnettes
could win their first South
western 3-A Conference, but
they’ll have to begin
preparations now.
”I hope all of the players
coming back, plus some of the
junior high players will look
upon now as the time to start
getting ready for next yetu*,” he
said. ’’Between now and next
August Is the time when they’ll
Improve. If they wait until
August to start, they won’t
Improve.”

coaches for getting the players
ready and the players for
carrying out their assignments
properly.
“Our offense kept the ball
away from them” he said. ”We
had some time-consuming
drives. 'That was exactly what
we wanted to do and the players
did exactly what we asked them
to do.”

Seeking
3rd Title
Kings Mountain Junior High’s
wrestlers will be going after
their third straight Western
Junior High Athletic Association
championship December 8 when
they open their 1979-80 cam
paign against West McDowell.
Phil Weathers has coached the
Patriots to a 19-1 record over the
past two years. That only loss
was to South Carolina power
SulUyan in a nap-conferg|jce
match.
Weathers greeted 40 prospects
on the first day of practice last
Monday and that number In
cluded 14 grapplers who were
members of the team last year.
“I was real pleased with the
turnout,” he said. ”I felt like it
was the smoothest first day of
practice I’ve ever had. I hope
things will continue to go as
smoothly.’ ’
The roster at present Includes
11 ninth graders, 15 eight
graders and 14 seventh graders.
Weathers says he will probably
narrow the team down to 25 or 30
people before the first match.
”We have a good group of
guys,” he said. “We’ll be
counting on the 14 returnees for
a good year.”
Some of the top returnees
include Tommy Welch, Jimmy
Wadkins, Roger McClain, Mike
Smith, David Bradley, Tim
Hamrick, David Parker, Randy
Whitaker and Danny Caldwell.
Others on the team are Doug
Ramsey, Ffurrls ’Turner, Rodney
’Turner, Tom Potter, Jeff Stokes,
Richard Green, Larry Logan,
Rodney Smith, Calvin Goode,
Tony Green, Doug Caldwell,
Johnny Ross, David Putnam,
Lewis Huskey, Charles Short,
Derek Spann, Bill Ford, Jody
Sellers, Vernon Stowe, Jamie
Fletcher, Kale Bagwell, Steve
Hamrick, Daie Smart, Rocky
Lutz, John Fleming, David
Moore, Doug Sipes, Maury
Williams, Jeff Chapman, David
Brown, Mike Stroupe, and Dale
Moore.
Two new weight classes (78
and 110 pounds) will be added
this year for a total of 16
divisions. A conference tour
nament has also been added and
it will be held at the school of the
league champion.
“We’re really looking forward
to the tournament,” said
Weathers. “It’s going to give
everybody a lot of good ex
perience.”
College Park of Hickory has
entered the conference, giving it
.seven teams. Kings Mountain
will face each conference team
once and also has two non
conference matches against
Sullivan and Castle Heights,
both of Rock Hill.
”I feel like the competition is
getting tougher,” said
(Tiiii; t'j pa VO 19)
Brooks said his main goal
after halftime was to hold on to
the football. Shelby touched the
ball for only four plays In the
third period.
“We weren’t Interested in
scoring any more points,” he
said. ”We just wanted to keep
the football. In a different
situation, we could have scored
more.”
“This win Is going to make for
a good winter,” he went on.
“Football is a crazy game. You
win on Friday night but you
don’t have long to think about it
because you have to start get
ting ready for another game.
The last one is the one you
always remember. This was a
good way to finish up.
”It made us feel real good that
the players played as well as
they could play,” he continued.
“Everybody played well. The
backs ran well, the line blocked
super and the defensive front
and secondary played real well.
“It was happy ending to a
good season,” he said. “A lot of
teams with worse records are
going to the playoffs.
“We feel real good about the
season,” he added. “We knew
we were a lot better than we
shoed in the first game. We were
flat that night (when KM lost to
Burns 16-6) and weren’t ready.
But we improved every week. At
times we let down a little,
especially when we played in
bad weather, but we reached a|i
improvement In some area of
our game every week.
“The kids were real
coachable,;’ he went on. “That
was the big key. They paid at
tention. They always knew what
the other team was going to do.
That comes from being
coachable.”
