TuMday, Novsmbar 4. 1980-KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALO-Pag* 3
R-S Strikes Quick To Whip Mounties 28-0
R-S Central’s Hilltoppers
struck for three quick first half
touchdowns and went on to
defeat Kings Mountain 28-0 Fri
day at Gamble Stadium in the
Mountaineers’ final home game
of the 1980 Southwestern Con
ference campaign.
The victory moved the
Hilltoppers to 6-2 in the SWC
and 7-2 overall. Kings Mountain
fell to 3-5 in the conference and
3-6 overall.
The Mountaineers, now
assured of their first losing
season under Coach Dan
Brooks, try to make the winter a
little warmer by upsetting Shelby
in their finale Friday at Shelby.
R-S, experiencing its first winn
ing season under Coach Ken
Sanford, closes out its season
against SWC co-leader Crest.
The Hilltoppers* talented
senior quarterback Troy Harris,
stunned the small crowd with a
75-yard pass to David Davis on
the Hilltoppers’ first play from
scrimmage. That play carried to
the KMHS four, and on fourth
down, Ricky Camp scored his
first of three touchdowns from a
yard out to make it 7-0.
Kings Mountain’s coaching
staff disputed the play, as it ap
peared to them that the KM
defense pushed Camp back to
the three.
That touchdown, however,
was quickly forgotten as Camp,
who finished with 107 yards
GRIDGRAPH
rushing in 18 carries, added two
more first half touchdowns on
runs of 29 and one yards to give
the Hilltoppers a 21-0 lead at in
termission.
The Hilltoppers drove 63
yards for their second score, then
recovered a KM fumble on the
ensuing kickoff and moved only
26 yards in five plays for the
final first half tally.
The Mountaineers made some
defensive adjustments at
halftime and shutoff the R-S of
fense in the final two periods.
The Hilltoppers’ only score in
the second half came after
another Mountaineer fumble at
the 14 yard line.
Kings Mountain’s offense
never got cranked up. The
Mountaineers managed only 76
yards rushing and 79 total of
fense, and drove into R-S ter
ritory only once.
Senior Tony Boyce led the
KM rushing attack with 6U
yards in 14 carries. Jeff
Lineberger added 22 in eight car
ries and Tony Rainey gained 19
yards in four carries.
The Mountaineers hit on only
l-of-9 passes for three yards and
the alert R-S defense picked off
three aerials.

for example, did not permit
former Tories to visit Morgan-
ton, the county seat, freely, ex
cept on the days when the Court
of Pleas and Quarter Sessions
sat.
The Clerk of this Court was
Alexander Erwin, who had cap
tained a mounted unit of Burke
County Whigs in combat during
the Revolution. He probably
hated former Tories with even
more intensity than most former
Whigs because of an unhappy
experience which befell Sarah
Robinson, the wife of his youth,
during the Revolution.
A badly wounded Whig,
Samuel Alexander, sought
haven with them at their home
in the Cherryfteld area. They hid
him from the tories in an
outhouse and ministered to his
needs.
One day when Alexander Er
win was engaged elsewhere in a
guerrilla operation, a band of
marauding Tories ransacked his
dwelling. After so doing, they
found the disabled Whig lying
helpless in the outhouse. One of
the Tories undertook to dispatch
him with his sword. Sarah
Robinson Erwin saved the
wounded Whig from death by
thrusting her arm between the
discending blade of the Tory’s
sword and him, and thus suf
fered a wound which maimed
her for life.
Alexander Erwin never forgot
or forgave this injury to his
beloved one. While serving as
Clerk of the County Court in
after years, he invariably
mounted a stump in the cour
tyard each day after its adjourn
ment and proclaimed in a loud
voice that all former Tories had
better leave Morganton before
sundown. His proclamation was
never disobeyed.
The Battle of King’s Moun
tain is one of the most heroic in
cidents in our country’s past. It
seems not amiss to add to my
remarks about it some observa
tion which are highly germane to
its present and future.
The world is in a perilous state
because Communist rules are
bent on extinguishing the lights
of liberty throughout ihe earth.
Some unwary Americans delude
themselves into believing that
our country can deter them from
their tyrannous purpose by the
pusillanimous expedient of ap
peasing them in various ways.
These unwary ones are
oblivious to the admonition of
Benjamin Franklin, who had a
head-full of common sense as
well as a heart-full of love for our
country. Franklin warned
America that those who are will
ing “to give up essential liberty
to obtain a little temporary .safe
ty deserve neither liberty nor
safety." I add they will obtain
neither.
As the eminent historian, J.A.
Froude, has declared, “history is
a voice forever sounding across'
the centuries the laws of right
and w rong.”
A nation which ignores the
truth history leaches cannot ‘
escape the consequences of its
folly.
History teaches, this
everlasting truth: God grants
liberty only to those who love it
and are always ready tp guard
and defend it,
Ameriea will remain the land
of thy free only if it remains the
home of the brave.
I elose with this prayer; May
Ameriea heed the truth taught
by history and preserve its. liber
ty and self-respect by keepihg its
heart in courage and lifting up its
hand in strength.
