Trunk-or-Treat at the Legion

The Kings Mountain Herald goes to press on Tuesday afternoon at 2 pm.

Therefore, we won’t have any coverage of the election in this week’s paper.

Look for election results and coverage on our website at www.kmherald.com and in next week’s edition of Herald.

American Legion Post 155 held their first annual Trunk-or-Treat at the Legion on Thursday, Oct. 31 from 6 to 8 pm. What had been planned as an outdoor event was moved inside as storms swept through the region during the day.

According to Facilities Manager Rachel Carroll, “more than 300 children and their families enjoyed Halloween in the banquet hall.” Legion members ex-

pressed their gratitude to all who donated candy, set up tables and volunteered their time to ensure Kings Mountain’s kids had a safe and dry experience on what was an otherwise frightful night.

WKKT radio personality, Sara Lee, visited the Legion Post with her family and said, ”A big thank you to the Kings Mountain American Legion for the indoor trick or treating you provided for the community last night due to the weather!”

During the October 29 City Council Meeting, council members unanimously adopted a resolution supporting the proposed high-speed rail line from Atlanta to Charlotte.

While the project wouldn’t come to fruition until 2050, it could reduce travel time to Atlanta by half the time it currently takes to travel there.

Three alternative routes are proposed. The Southern Crescent has the lowest speed of 79 - 110 MPH and offers 4 daily trips with a cost of $2 Billion to $2.3 Billion. The I-85 alternative would travel at speeds of 125 – 180 MPH offering 14 daily trips with a cost of $13.3 Billion to $15.4 Billion. The Greenfield alternative would travel at 125 – 220 MPH offering 16 – 22 daily trips with a cost of $6.2 Billion to $8.4 Billion.

City Council voted to support a hybrid alternative of the Greenfield and

Interstate 85 plans positioning Kings Mountain as a Western North Carolina Park and Ride location for Western North Carolina.

Kings Mountain would be a logical location considering the city’s proximity to I-85 and Hwy. 74.

In other business, City Council approved the purchase of a new Altec Backyard Digger Derrick – Trailer for the Electric Department for $158,535.

Renee Bost was appointed to the Planning and Zoning Board filling the vacant seat for a Cleveland County ETJ member.

Turning Point Asphalt

& Paving was awarded the bid for repairs and paving to the entrance at Moss Lake and the existing boat landing area for $177,100.

In the Regular Meeting, a paving study of all the city streets was approved with TGS Engineering.

The study found that the city currently has 61.69 miles of paved roads. Of those, 26.46 miles were evauluated as good, 23.82 miles were considered to be in fair condition, and 11.4 miles were in need of paving, patching or resurfacing. Those 11.4 miles of roadway include 48 city streets.

American Legion Post 155 and District 23 will host a PTSD seminar on Saturday, Nov. 9 at 2 pm at the Post home at 613 E Gold Street.

The public and veterans are encouraged to attend.

At the August National Convention in Indianapolis, Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Robert L Wilkie Jr. stated that the number of veteran suicides has dropped from 21 a day to 16 a day and that over 50% of those committing suicide are Vietnam Veterans. Seventy percent of all those veterans committing suicide have never been to a VA Hospital to seek help or treatment. Many Vietnam Veterans are battling the effects of Agent Orange, and the various medical problems associated with that chemical.

A VA suicide prevention counselor will address

Legionnaires and Auxiliary members to learn more and perhaps in our own way, we can help other veterans with the issues. American Legion members want to let veterans know the Legion is there to support them.

American Legion District 23 Posts consist of Legionnaires from Forest City, Fallston, Henrietta, Chimney Rock, Kings Mountain and Shelby. These six posts have a combined membership of 700.

Prior to the 2 pm seminar, District 23 there will be a lunch at noon and a short business meeting at 1 pm. The general public is invited to attend and may arrive anytime between 1:45 - 2:00 pm so that Legionnaires may have time to conduct their official business before the PTSD seminar.

The cast includes Kourtney Conway as Violet, Morgan Shipton as Peppermint Patty, Rachel Morgan as Frieda, Regan Sellers as Marcie.

Brief vignettes span the months from Valentine’s Day to Beethoven Day, from wild optimism to utter despair. In this revised version, with additional music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa and dialogue by Michael Mayer, the sweet, joyful innocence of the Peanuts gang is maintained, but a fresh insouciance and playfulness is revealed. The new script features two new songs, particularly funny dialogue,

TODAY’S QUOTE: Rest when you’re weary. Refresh and renew yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work.

–Ralph Marston

OPINION

Pieces of Kings Mountain History As Veterans Day approaches, it is time to pause and think of all of those who have served the country in war or LORETTA peace — COZART dead or alive.

As a member of American Legion Unit 155, I have wondered about Otis David Green, for whom the Post is named. With Veterans Day in mind, I think it is fitting we honor Otis D. Green.

Green was a native of Boiling Springs, NC, born January 23, 1888 to Thomas Albert and Lona Layton Green. He had at least 3 brothers, Forest Claudius Green, George Padenes Green and Oscar Benjamin Green. Mother Lona Green was deceased by 1910, but family records indicate she might have died as early as 1906.

By 1910, Albert, Otis and Oscar lived with their brother, Forest, and his wife Lillie on the Clotho Cotton Mill Hill in Kings Mountain. Their father Thomas and all the boys

were employed at Clotho.

Otis worked the reels.

On April 6, 1917, the U.S. joined its allies--Britain, France, and Russia-to fight in World War I and Otis enlisted in the regular Army just six days later, on April 12, 1917 in Gastonia, according to his military records.

In an article in the May 28, 1977 Kings Mountain Herald, the family stated he was a member of the First Company 18th Infantry Training Battalion, American Expedition Forces. He served overseas from October 1917 until his death on March 1, 1918. He was just 29 years old and Cleveland County’s first casualty of WWI. On March 15, 1918, father Thomas Green received a telegram that his son, Otis, was killed in action on the western front somewhere in France on March 1.

His family and the community mourned.

Green’s remains were brought home three years later, after being identified

by Dr. O.P. Lewis from dental records.

Shelby Star reported that three thousand people attended his funeral with military honors at Kings Mountain School and the Hon. Clyde R. Hoey of Shelby paid tribute to Kings Mountain’s fallen son.

In a 1918 Kings Mountain Herald clipping kept by the family it was reported, “about 2,500 people were here Sunday afternoon to attend the military funeral held over the remains of Otis D. Green, which arrived from France on Saturday morning.”

That is impressive, because Kings Mountain only had a population of 2,800 at that time.

Community leaders intended to hold the memorial service on the campus of the school, but threatening weather forced it inside. Not more than a third of those in attendance were able to fit into the auditorium; standing room only. Yet those who could not witness the service remained outside to escort Otis D. Green to his final resting place in Mountain Rest Cemetery.

“The casket was draped

in an American flag and was borne by six soldiers in uniform while about 50 others in uniform under the command of Sgt. Major C.E. Carpenter marched after. Rev. J. O. Fullbright conducted a brief funeral.”

The Herald coverage continues, “the procession was an impressive one as throngs followed the soldiers in uniform and lined up on either side of the street to watch them passing. The soldiers were brought to attention and taps were sounded by Paul Peterson. The flag was taken from the casket and given to the father, Thomas A. Green.”

The Shelby Star ended their coverage of the event reporting, “the body was tenderly laid to rest in the town cemetery, the beautiful floral offering mingling together in beautiful harmony with our country’s noble flag.”

Yes, Veterans Day is intended to honor living veterans. I believe we can do so while remembering those who sacrificed their lives and suffered greatly in service to America.

Otis D. Green volunteered without hesitation, served his county, and died in action on the western front in France. He was brought home and laid to rest in the town he called home.

There are more than 1,200 veterans buried at Mountain Rest Cemetery, sons and daughters of our town who, like Otis D. Green, offered their lives in service. Be sure to thank a veteran when you see them, not just on Veterans Day. And say a prayer of thanks for all those who have, and do serve in all branches of our nation’s military.

The Ode of Remembrance admonishes us: They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.

And the audience responds: “We will remember them.”

in their own defense.

One of the many reasons we are “leaving” Syria is because our President is opposed to us continuing to be a police force, however, we are staying to police the oil from falling back into the hands of ISIS. Most Americans don’t want our troops being a police force in other nations. A big chunk of our financial problem is because of all the money we’ve spent on these foreign wars, nation building and police protection. We stay and stay.

However, most of us don’t like that Turkey is attacking the Kurds and we think they should stay within their border. We detest ISIS and we are all for anything that anybody can do to thwart or eliminate their movement.

Unfortunately, our military will never be able to just rest at home. If we don’t eliminate evil “over there” it will come here as proven at Pearl Harbor and the World Trade Towers. It’s better to try to stop ISIS or the Taliban or whoever “over there” than trying to fight it here.

Eventually though, we have to leave.

■ MEDITATION

The Worry Gene cute the song is, “Oh I know but not realissomething tic, because in bad is going the “real world” to happen!” there are overexclaimed the whelming trials lady I was and obstacles. talking to They can’t imagwho admitted ine a worry free that she had life - but I can. trouble with worrying too DANYALE PATTERSON The secret is not allowing this tiny much. “I guess I have the worry gene”, she little word called “worry” said. Shortly after, I began the opportunity to rule.

What is worry? thinking about the song Mental distress and ag“Hankuna Mata”, which means “no worries”. I love itation occurs by allowing that song from the Lion the mind to dwell on trouKing movie. Interestingly, ble or something anticiothers have expressed how pated as trouble. That is

the definition of “worry”.

When worrying situations dominate the thoughts and consume the mind with images of unfavorable outcomes, this is also known as anxiety, uneasiness, or fretting.

Realize worrying is a choice!

In Matthew 6:34, Jesus says, “take therefore no thought for tomorrow”.

Another translation simply states “don’t worry about tomorrow”. In other words, make a choice to reject the need to dwell on issues out of your control.

Know that most things

we worry about never actually happen.

I read a book to my daughter called “Wemberly Worried” by Kevin Henkes. The little girl in the story worried about everything. This ranged from anxiousness about whether or not the tree in the backyard would fall on her house, to if her teacher in her new school would be mean. This young child had created a long checklist of concerns.

Nevertheless, nothing she worried about ever happened. Sometimes, just like the little girl in the story, we exasperate and stress ourselves out about something that may or may not happen.

This distress doesn’t offer anything beneficial to our lives.

On the contrary it breeds negativity and can be detrimental to our health, causing migraine headaches, insomnia, depression, strokes, and other issues.

Utilizing a variety of coping methods can assist us in weathering our personal storms.

Alternatives to worry are exercising, listening to uplifting music, talking to someone about personal fears, or brainstorming positive outcomes to the situation. Distracting the thoughts with scripture and declaring it’s promises produces strength and

peace. Philippians 4:6-7 says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Lastly, although life is filled with struggles, remember that every minute spent with worry is 60 seconds without happiness. In the words of Bobby McFerrin’s song Don’t Worry, Be Happy!

the board of trustees made the freeze possible. “We are pleased to be able to take this action for the second year,” offered Chair of the Board Jennifer Marion Mills. “It’s the right move at the right time.”

Gardner-Webb President Dr. William M. Downs expressed his appreciation for the board’s commitment to hold the line on college affordability. “The value of a Gardner-Webb degree will continue to increase long after a student graduates, opening doors to a successful career and to a meaningful life,” he affirmed.

“We recognize, however, that for students to benefit from GWU’s unmatched value, they have to be able to cover the cost of attendance.”

With its average 13-to-1 student-faculty ratio, Gardner-Webb offers students an exceptional education in an environment that promotes student engagement and outcomes.

Gardner-Webb has been recognized for its academic programs by the Colleges of Distinction, an independent organization that ranks universities. The award is given to schools with curriculums that emphasize such competencies as critical thinking, writing, oral skills, research, and global perspectives, as well as offer dynamic out-of-classroom learning and study abroad programs.

When comparing Gardner-Webb’s tuition to 35 other independent colleges and universities in North Carolina, GWU is 16th on the list.

North Carolina lung injury cases related to vaping increase Acute lung injury cases have increased as e-cigarette use by young people rises Provided by Deshay Oliver Cleveland County Public Health Center The number of North Carolina cases of severe lung injury associated with e-cigarette use or vaping continues to rise with 61 cases in people ranging in age from 13 to 72. The North Carolina cases are among a rising outbreak reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of 1,604 cases and 34 deaths in the United States and the US Virgin Islands as of Oct. 22. The acute lung injury cases have occurred in the context of a rapid rise of e-cigarette use by young people.

Lung injury cases are being reported in younger adults and teenagers. Approximately 79% of patients are under 35 years of age, 40% are 18-24, and 14% are younger than 18. All patients reported a history of using e-cigarette or vaping products, with most reporting a history of using THC-containing products. THC is the primary psychoactive component in cannabis. Eighty percent of North Carolina cases interviewed reported vaping THC; 75% of North Carolina cases interviewed reported vaping flavors, 70% vaped nicotine, 50% vaped THC and nicotine, and 30% vaped CBD. No single product or source has been linked to all lung injury cases.

NCDHHS has joined the CDC’s efforts to urge people

to consider not using e-cigarette or vaping products, especially e-cigarette or vaping products that contain THC. “Those who use e-cigarettes or vaping products should not obtain them through informal sources and should not modify or add any substances,” said Dr. Zack Moore, State Epidemiologist.

The acute lung illness outbreak is occurring on top of rapidly rising rates of e-cigarette use among youth.

The biennial 2017 North Carolina Youth Tobacco Survey found that although cigarette smoking was the lowest ever recorded among high school students at 8.9%, e-cigarette use increased 894% since 2011. E-cigarettes have become the most commonly used tobacco product among youth in North Carolina and 9.6% of high schoolers report having vaped cannabis. This rate is expected to rise.

According to the 2019 Cleveland County Pride Survey, youth e-cigarette use has increased among local high school students, after seeing a decline in 2017. In 2019, 32.8% of Cleveland County high school students reported using e-cigarettes in the past 30 days, up from 10.9% in 2017, a 302% increase. In 2019, 30 day tobacco use among Cleveland County high school students increased for the first time since 2012. Studies show that youth e-cigarette users are four times more likely to start smoking traditional cigarettes. This is particularly alarming because 90% of adult tobacco users start before the age of 18.

“This severe lung disease

epidemic and the rise in youth use of e-cigarettes is deeply troubling,” said Dr. Elizabeth Tilson, State Health Director and Chief Medical Officer for DHHS. “As a pediatrician, I know that nicotine can harm areas of the brain that influence attention, learning, mood and impulse control.

Nicotine use at a young age can also rewire pathways in the brain, priming it for future addiction – to nicotine and other substances.” Dr. Tilson testified Sept. 25 before a House Committee on Commerce and Energy on the topic.

The North Carolina Division of Public Health (DPH) and Department of Public Instruction (DPI) Healthy Schools initiative have worked together to help implement 100% tobacco free schools policies, considering this new and challenging e-cigarette epidemic, and to increase awareness among youth of nicotine levels in e-cigarette products.

DPI and DPH also promote measures to help students, parents and staff recognize youth e-cigarette use as an addiction and to provide evidence-based prevention and tobacco treatment education and counseling, rather than to suspend students who are addicted to nicotine. CATCH My Breath is an evidence-based tobacco use prevention curriculum that addresses middle and high schoolers’ use of e-cigarettes. The curriculum is available free of charge to NC schools. Fifty-six schools in NC have implemented this curriculum serving more than See VAPING, Page 8A

Cutline: Cub Scout Pack 93 visited Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum and slept aboard the USS Yorktown pictured in the background.

Photo provided

Cub Scout Pack 93 camps aboard USS Yorktown Cub Scout Pack 93 recently walked in the steps of country’s heroes while participating in the Patriot’s Point and Maritime Museum’s camping program aboard the historic WWII aircraft carrier USS Yorktown on Charleston Harbor.

Cub Scouts in attendance included: Levi Carroll, Lucas Ivey, Landon Champion, Camden Morris, Logan Carlisle, Barrett Santiago, Lucy Santiago, Aidan Hawkins, Zane Oakley, Rocky Lutz and Raina Mongiello. Adults participating included: Zachery Carroll, Eddie Rush, Ryan Webster, David Morris, Michael Carlisle, Michael Santiago, Anna Evans, Frank Burns, Wayne Oakley, Rocky Lutz, Debbie Goforth, Chelsea

Webster, Aiden Evans and Amy Hawkins.

During the trip, the group became shipmates while touring the museum’s three 70-year old warships: the USS Yorktown, World War II destroyer USS Laffey, and the Cold War submarine USS Clamagore. The group also learned about the Vietnam War in the museum’s interactive, Vietnam Experience. The landside exhibit is a 2.5-acre recreation of a Brown Water Naval Support Base and Marine Fire Artillery Base.

Morning and evening meals were served to the group aboard the Yorktown just as they were to the ship’s sailors decades ago while at sea.

VAPING From Page 7A

17,000 students since 2017, and demand is growing.

Locally, the Cleveland County Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition has been working to address youth e-cigarette use in Cleveland County since 2015. The Student’s Leading a Change youth council was formed to target youth e-cigarette use in local high schools. Through this youth council, the www.

EscapetheVapes.com initiative was created to educate peers about the potential risks of e-cigarette use. The Escape the Vapes campaign was nominated for the North Carolina GlaxoSmithKline Foundation’s Child Health Recognition Award in 2017, in recognition for the work towards improving the health of children in the community. Additionally, the Cleveland County Pub-

We Salute All Our Military Veterans...

lic Health Center’s health education staff facilitates an evidence based substance abuse prevention curriculum in 7th grade health classes and also offers vaping presentations to groups in the community upon request.

The Cleveland County Public Health Center and the Alliance for Health in Cleveland County, Inc. are partnering with Atrium Health to expand tobacco (including electronic cigarette) cessation efforts in the county. With approximately 20% of the county’s adult population continuing to use tobacco products, this partnership aims to expand tobacco cessation services through physician practices and public health providers. Cleveland is one of two NC counties selected by Atrium Health to participate in this initiative primarily due to the rate of lung cancer which is 49.7 per 100,000 population compared to the rate

for North Carolina at 44.1 per 100,000 population.

Cleveland County is projected to have 98 new cases of lung/bronchus cancer in 2019 with 65 cases ending in death.

This new initiative will train mid-level providers, nurses, social workers, respiratory therapists and health educators in “first-line” treatment of nicotine dependence using assessment, one-on-one and group counseling and pharmacology options to reduce the number of country residents using tobacco products. Health educators will provide group classes at various sites across the county using the “Beat the Pack” curriculum to support the overall cessation effort. Three training sessions are scheduled for Tuesday, November 12, at the Cleveland County Public Health Center and Atrium Health with implementation of the initiative set for February 2020.

Another resource, the Truth Initiative, serves as a further resource and has expanded its quit-smoking resources to include a first-of-its kind e-cigarette quit program. To access TRUTH’s new e-cigarette quit program, users can text “DITCHJUUL” to 88709.

QuitlineNC (1-800-QuitNow or 1-800-784-8669) is also available 24/7 with online, text and telephone programs to help young people addicted to any tobacco product, including e-cigarettes.

New clinical guidance for managing acute lung injury from the CDC and NCDHHS also urges people to receive a flu shot to protect against a combination of the flu and lung injury from vaping. NCDHHS will continue to monitor this outbreak and report any new information weekly at www.tobaccopreventionandcontrol.ncdhhs.gov/ecigs.

KM at Crest Friday, first place on line

Coach Greg Lloyd going for 100th win

The math is simple for Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers when they travel to Crest Friday night for their final regular season football game: -Beat the Chargers and gain a share of the Big South Conference championship, and hope for a good draw if the championship is shared by the Chargers, Mountaineers and Hunter Huss; or -Lose and go on the road

for the first playoff game – and possibly all of them – as a third seed.

Even though the Mountaineers presently have a better overall record than both the Chargers and Huss, a Friday loss would automatically make them the third seed even if Huss is upset by Ashbrook.

A victory over the Chargers would at least give the Mountaineers the Cleveland County championship as

they defeated both Burns and Shelby in early-season non-conference games.

Shelby defeated both Burns and Crest but fell hard to the Mountaineers, 42-17.

“This is going to be our toughest game,” said Mountaineer Coach Greg Lloyd.

“They beat Hunter Huss and they’re coming off a bye so they have 15 days to get ready for us.”

Lloyd said the Chargers’ 8-2 overall record is mis-

leading because they lost those games early in the season when they had some players out with injuries.

“It’s totally different now,” he noted. “They have gotten healthy. And I don’t think a Cleveland County team has lost a home game.

We have an opportunity to share the conference championship and maybe get a number one seed for the playoffs. We’d love to See CREST, Page 3B

Mountaineers dominate Forestview 54-3 After being held to three and out on their first possession, Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers scored at will in posting their fifth running clock victory in ten games, 54-3, in their final regular season home game Friday night at John Gamble Stadium.

With a packed home crowd looking on and enjoying the game while also honoring senior football players, cheerleaders and band members, the Mountaineers used punishing defense and a well-balanced offensive and return game to keep alive their hopes of sharing the Big South 3A Conference championship and possibly drawing the #1 seed for the upcoming NCHSAA 3A playoffs.

“We played well,” noted Coach Greg Lloyd. “I thought it was one of our better games. Our special teams really did well. The defensive line really played well. I thought Chris Ruffalo had an excellent game.

“We had some short fields and we finished our drives off,” he added. “I thought James Ussery really had a good game. It was a good win and hopefully got us some momentum built up.”

After their first possession, the Mountaineers ba-

sically scored at will. They got a 57-yard punt return from Kobe Paysour to the Forestview 29 yard line, and four plays later Ethan Reid scored on a quarterback sneak for a 7-0 lead.

About their only hiccup was when Forestview’s Damarion Dawkins – a halfback playing QB in the Jaguars’ spread offense – got off a 41-yard run to get the Jaguars across midfield to set up a 52-yard field goal by their talented senior kicker Holt Cloninger to cut the score to 7-3.

But Cloninger, who normally puts the ball in the end zone, missed the ensuing kickoff by just a tad and Ussery took it at the one yard line and raced 63 yards to the Jaguars’ 36 where Cloninger made a touchdown-saving tackle.

Three plays later Reid hit Quintin Davidson with a quick pass in the flat and he spun around his defender and raced 21 yards into the end zone for a 14-3 lead.

After two tackles for losses by former Forestview player Javari Rice-Wilson and a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty put the Jags in a fourth and 28 situation, KM shook off two 15yard penalties to drive 70 yards to score on a 14-yard pass from Reid to Orlando

Photos by Gary Smart Odums. Along the way, Paysour caught a 45-yard pass for one first down, and then went 26 yards on a reverse to set up the score.

On the ensuing kickoff, KM’s BJ Bennix tackled Forestview’s deep receiver, Jaylen Mims, at the seven yard line. Yet another Rice-Wilson tackle for loss put the View on its own two, and Belton Pressley intercepted a pass at the 18 to set up another one-yard sneak by Reid for a 28-3 lead with just over a minute remaining in the first half.

With 18.5 seconds left in

the half, Forestview faced a fourth and seven from its own seven and Cloninger came on to punt. But Ussery flew in from the outside of the KM defense and blocked it and DayDay Wilson recovered it at the three.

With just 11 seconds on the clock, Reid hit Paysour for a 34-3 halftime lead.

KM’s kickoff went out of bounds so the clock didn’t start and Forestview got the ball on the 40. Chris Ruffalo put an exclamation point on the Mountaineers’ first half explosion by sacking See MOUNTAINEERS, Page 3B

Kickers beat Crest in rain Kings Mountain High’s soccer team closed out its regular season Wednesday with a 4-2 victory in the rain at John Gamble Stadium.

This was the first downpour any KMHS team has played in at its stadium since artificial turf was installed and Coach Erik Price said the turf handled the rain just fine.

Although he’s not a se-

nior, Danny Carley had a senior night he will remember by scoring a hat track and dishing out an assist to Christian Quevedo-Johns for the other Mountaineer goal. Quevedo-Johns assisted two of Carley’s goals.

Seniors honored included Josh Visoso, Tristan Stenger, Gage Baugham, Kevin Smith, George Long and Silas Price.

Dawkins on the final play.

Even though the Mountaineers’ first team D didn’t play that much in the second half, the sack attack continued as the Jaguars’ only positive rushing yards came on their last three running plays of the game. Six of Forestview’s last eight plays of the first half, and the first five of their eight plays in the second half ended in minus yards.

While the KM defense was piling up the sacks and TFLs, the offense stayed in high gear as Quintin Davidson returned the third quarter kick 45 yards to the Forestview 25, setting up runs of 12 and 13 yards by Rashaard Brooks for a 40-3 lead.

Even though Ruffalo, Robert Lipscomb and Chase Cannon threw FV backs for minus 12 yards on their first three plays of the third quarter, they were missing punter Cloninger who was injured on Ussery’s blocked punt in the first half and decided to go for it on fourth and 22 at the 18 yard line.

DayDay Wilson kept the assault going, throwing Dawkins for an 8-yard loss to the 10 yard line. After a holding penalty put KM on the 16, Mack carried twice for the TD for a 47-3 lead which put the running clock rule into effect.

KM’s first team offense took the rest of the night off, but after yet another

Both the Chargers and Mountaineers go into the game with high-scoring offenses. They have been held to less than 20 points just once, the Chargers in a season-opening 13-7 win over South Point and the Mountaineers in a 22-16 Big South loss to Hunter Huss. Crest defeated the Huskies 36-29 to grab sole possession of first place.

Roberson, Stuart Cramer and North Gaston.

Sid Bryson Stadium will be filled with outstanding skill players as well as good blocking lines and hard-hitting defenses.

Both teams feature sound 1-2 running punches with Crest offering TJ Ruff with 928 yards rushing and 17 touchdowns, and Jalen Graham with 851 yards and 11 TDs. Quarterback DJ Fuller has hit 73 of 148 passes for 1,175 yards and nine touchdowns.

Ruff, who also returns kicks, has 1,603 all-purpose yards, and has caught 18 passes for 283 yards and four TDs. “Ruff has done a great job for them,” Lloyd noted. “He

is very fast. He plays quarterback, running back and wide receiver. He’s very good.”

Kings Mountain counters with quarterback Ethan Reid with 1,925 passing yards and 31 touchdown passes, a 1-2 receiving punch of Kobe Paysour and Quintin Davidson who have combined for 1,407 yards and 23 touchdowns; and running backs Rashaard Brooks and Ricaylen Mack who go into the game with 958 and 336 yards rushing, respectively.

Mack has acquired his in five games since coming back from surgery during the off-season.

Of course, people put up those kind of numbers because they have offensive lines that clear the way for

them and strong defenses and special teams that create opportunities.

All signs indicate this will be a barn-burner, so fans will want to go early as a huge crowd is expected. When these two teams were assigned to the Big South Conference three years ago their athletic directors worked hard to get the last playing date because they anticipated this rivalry could decide Big South championships.

Should the Mountaineers win, it would be extra special for Coach Lloyd. It would be his 100th victory with the Mountaineers and his 116th overall including his 16-9 record in two years at East Gaston.
