October 30. 1980 Mountaineers Host R-S In Final Home Game Friday Kings Mouniain’s Moun taineers, suffering through one of their worst seasons in years, hope to get a much-needed boost to their program Friday when they entertain R-S Central’s FfilUoppers in their final home game. Game time is 8 p.m. at John Gamble Stadium. “It would be a big thrust for us to regroup and come back home and beat a contender," says KMFISCoach Dan Biooks, who has seen his charges drop embar rassing back-to-back decisions to South f)oint 36-6 and Chase 26-0. ■iPORT?

R-S Central’s record is just the opposite, 5-2 in the SWC and 6-2 overall. The Hilltoppers have probably the most experienced team in the SWC. Fifteen of their starters have been playing together for three years. Their only losses were-narrow decisions to Burns (in overtime) and East Gaston. ‘They’re real strong,” says Brooks. ‘They’re quick and have good skilled people. They’re go ing to be tough.” Leading the R-S offense is quarterback Troy Flarris, one of the best all-round athletes in the conference. He’s started every game since his sophomore season and is a strong veer quarterback. Running back Ricky Camp, a 160-pound senior, is one of the quickest runners in the SWC and junior David Davis plays many positions well for the Hilltop pers. Coach Brooks calls Mack Logan, a 170-pound senior defensive back, a top college pro spect. ‘They have a lot of good peo ple,” says the third-yeard KM coach. ‘Their offensive and defensive lines are both excep tional. They’re one of the bigger teams we’ll play.” The Mountaineers, the youngest team in the SWC, have been inconsistent all year on of fense and the defense, which was strong during the early-going, has fallen apart in the last month. In the past four ballgames, the KM offense has managed only one touchdown and it was agaisnt South Point’s second unit defense and in the final minute of that 36-6 loss. The Mounties have dropped three of their last four games, surrendering 93 points while scoring only 13. The Mounties have recorded only eight touchdowns in eight ballgames and have been shutout three times. “We’re going to have to get it together,” says Coach Brooks. “We’re going to have to get ex cited and emotional for this^ game. Brooks said the losses of the* past two weeks “embarrassed” him and hopes it did the same thing to the players. “I hope it embarrassed them to the point that they’ll want to go out and prove they can play better,” he said. The Mountie coach has made a number of personnel changes during the past weeks, hoping to come up with a winning com bination, but they haven’t paid off yet. “We’ll probably make some more changes for this week,” he said. “So far we haven’t been tough enough to play at this level. We’re just going to have to regroup and see what we can come up with.” The Mountaineers, Brooks feels, are talented enough to spr ing the upset Friday, if they get their act together. “We have better people than what we’ve shown so far,” he said. “I think the whole thing is that we’ve let our self discipline slip away. We’ve gotten to the point that we don’t think we can win. Somehow, the coaches are Rent-A-Drudge Takes The Drudgery Out of your Life CALL 867-0040 between 7 a.m. & 8 p.m. going to have to get the team motivated.” The Mountaineers played one of their best games of last season against R-S Central, when Kevin Mack, now a freshman running back at Clemson, broke a school record by gaining 287 yards rushing. In the past, the Moun ties have enjoyed some of their best success against the Hilltop pers. Brooks would like nothing more than to see that success continue Friday night. ^lohcu'Jrccman, <S> One of the finest suitings available to man: Hickey-Freeman’s Canterbury IV. Imagine the touch of a fine wtxil, comfortably soft and silken smooth. Now imagine yourself wearing this distinctive fabric in a suit tailored with a level of quality virtually unequalled today. Hickey- Freeman's Canterbury" is the result of such a combination of unique fabric and unequalled craftsmanship. No expense is spared in the creation of the Canterbury suit. Produced by Great Britain’s finest mills, Canterbury begins as a high quality raw wcx>l, woven by a special spinning and weaving process. Only the finest dye stuffs are then used to create the subtle, rich and refined colors. No wonder the Hickey-Freeman Canterbury is desired by the best-dres.sed men in America. 0 o Wemott Qa/idnenH EASmOGEMAU CASTONM.
