Fallen soldier comes home to rest Funeral today for Spc. James Justice who died of combat injuries in Afghanistan EMILY WEAVER Editor
A hearse bearing the seal of the United States Army and carrying the body of a local fallen hero, Spc. James Justice, pulled into Harris Funeral Home Monday morning past crowds of supporters.
Flags fluttered throughout the City of Kings Mountain Monday morning as the body of a fallen hero - Army Spc. James Justice - was carried home to be laid to rest with full military honors today (Aug. 29) at Mountain Rest Cemetery. Some flags rippled from half-mast. Some danced on the wind from the backs of motorcycles in the motorcade. Some were waved in the hands of supporters, who lined the streets, as the procession trailed through two counties and the two cities Justice called home. One giant American flag flew from the top of an extended ladder on a Kings Mountain Fire truck, marking the procession's stop. But another flag - the one draped over Justice's coffin - remained still, very still. Soldiers saluted their fallen comrade as the silver hearse, bearing the United States Army emblem, pulled up to the curb outside of Harris Funeral Home. Justice was 21 years old when he died Aug. 16 at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, of injuries from small arms fire in Wardak Province, Afghanistan. He was a father to three girls, a husband to Sissy Justice, a son to Randall and Melissa Justice and Paula Black, and a brother to many who died a hero to all. See JUSTICE, 5A

King of NC Delegates Gets Party Going in Fla. Editor
Kings Mountain's Wayne King, vice-chairman of the NCGOP, "young gun" of the Republican Party, is in Tampa, Fla., this week serving as one of two delegates from the state, drafting the party's future at the Republican National Convention. Tropical Storm Isaac, which forecasters feared would wreak havoc at the convention, seems to have only brought enough drenching rain and wind to make the RNC's first day a short one. Party Chairman Reince Priebus gaveled the convention into session Monday af-
ternoon inside the Tampa Bay Times Forum. Minutes later, influenced by Isaac, he recessed activities until Tuesday. Rain or not, there was no canceling this parade. On Friday, King noted the show would still go on, whether or not Isaac came a-calling. More than 2,200 delegates and 2,100 alternate delegates from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories were expected to attend this week's convention. King is among them, serving in a special role on the Party's platform committee. "It's a true honor to be the Chairman of our delegation to Tampa as well as to serve on the platform committee to help shape what our Party ideals are," King said. "I am very excited about Gov. (Mitt) Romney and Congressman (Paul) Ryan. There
has been a new level of energy in our Party since Congressman Ryan was chosen as VP."
A storm is brewing King told The Herald in June that this week's convention would be an "important step to taking back the White House and to painting North Carolina red in November." As Isaac moved on toward Louisiana, Tuesday, the eyes of thousands of Republicans turned their focus on the White House. The mission? Select a nominee who will defeat and unseat President Barack Obama. "We must put forward a platform that appeals to the majority of Americans that self-identify as Conservatives, and we must put forward a platform that highlights the contrast between the pro-growth, profreedom, pro-America

policies of the Republican Party and the far-left extremist views of President Obama and his liberal cronies,” King told The Herald in June.

Grover citizens will see an increase of 10 percent in their sewer bills this month and may see the rate they pay climb up to 52 percent or more in the next few years. In a special Grover Town Council meeting Friday night, city leaders voted to move ahead with plans to seek funding for a nearly $2 million wastewater project. The goal is to transform the old Grover Industries treatment plant into the city's new wastewater treatment plant. The town is seeking grants of up to $1.25 million to help pay for the project, but is also relying on approval of a 0% interest loan. It was decision time for the council Friday night as they stared down a Sept. 4 deadline on applying for a 0% interest loan from the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources. "I think you have about a 100% chance of getting a 0%interest loan from them (NCDENR) and a 50/50 chance at the grants," said Brian Tripp, vice president of WK Dickson, who reminded council that without the no-interest loan the town's payments will be higher.

238 Cherokee Street to open second eatery EMILY WEAVER Editor
Renovation is underway in the former Sub Factory building to make way for the second location of 238 Cherokee Street.
238 Cherokee Street is growing. The downtown restaurant will be opening its second location on Gold Street in the coming months, offering fine and casual dining, a space for parties and a place for families to enjoy a Sunday buffet.
Renovation has begun inside the former Sub Factory at 130 W. Gold Street, which will house part of the new restaurant and the new location of 1-Life Nutrition, Health and Wellness. 238 owner Robert Bolin hopes to have the new eatery open in two months. A banquet room for special events and private parties, wired for professional presentations, will move
into 1-Life's current location. Next door will be the new eatery, which will feature a Sunday brunch and pizza buffets in addition to the menu items and Big E's BBQ currently offered at 238 Cherokee Street. The new restaurant will have seating for 90 guests. The 1-Life smoothie shop and wellness center will move next door to Aquatic Pleasures Dive Center.

"Gov. Romney has done just that. He has built huge businesses that have been successful and knows how to create jobs. This convention theme will be about the economy and jobs, which is on the forefront of every American's mind." "I am excited about what these two fine men will do for the United States," King said, hinting that Ryan was a good pick for VP. "First of all, he's a man of principle. He is a bold visionary individual that presents not only problems with the budget and economy, but broad-based solutions. This has been his track record in Congress and I feel that he will do the same if not more as VP." This is King's third trip to a Republican National Convention, but his first time serving on the Party's platform
Your ‘Fruitful’ Tips with Jason Rhodes
Is it a Muscadine or a Scuppernong? All Scuppernongs are Muscadines but not all Muscadines are Scuppernongs. Muscadines is a broad category of grape that includes many cultivars of both bronze and black grapes. Both bronze and dark cultivars taste great and make wonderful jams, jellies, pies, juices, and wines. Scuppernong is one of the bronze cultivars and were the first muscadine grapes discovered and cultivated in America. With Scuppernong being one of the oldest and most popular cultivars, the name is sometimes used to refer to any bronze cultivar of muscadine. There are now many other cultivars of muscadines used both in wine production and for fresh eating. To be precise it is better to use the term muscadine when uncertain of the cultivar.

committee. One male and one female delegate from each state are chosen to serve on the committee. The commission's purpose is to construct the GOP platform which outlines the Party's core beliefs and the Party's stance on key issues facing our nation. It is traditionally comprised of some of the top Republican leaders from around the nation. King succeeded United States Senator Richard Burr as Chairman of the Delegation and as platform committee member for this week's convention. Burr chaired the delegation to the 2008 Republican National Convention in Minneapolis / St. Paul. "Tampa is a beautiful city and the people of Florida have
been great," King said. "I am very excited about this convention." King, considered one of the "young guns" of the Republican Party, unseated the state GOP's incumbent vice chair last year at the state convention. At 30 years old, he was perhaps the youngest man in the country to take the second most-high position in a state Republican party. At 27, in 2007, he was well on his way beating out two opponents for chairman of the Cleveland County Republican Party. Two years later, he was elected chairman of the 10th Congressional District. And now, in his service as NCGOP vice chair, King continues to fight for the Party he loves.

Corey added that her staff will be helping with the benefit in and outside of the restaurant. A beer garden with refreshments is set to be stationed across the street for the outdoor concerts. Currently, more than 327 children are waiting on a wish to be granted in Central and Western North Carolina. Isaac has raised more than $3,000 for Make A Wish in the last three years. This year, his goal is to grant a wish, which can cost up to $6,000. "I'd love to have Kings Mountain grant a wish," said Butch Pearson, Isaac's father.

longtime supporters of Make A Wish. Last year the family, under Isaac's team name "Jammin' for Wishes" participated in the Walk for Wishes at Carowinds. In his senior year at Kings Mountain High, Isaac started the Mountaineers Make A Wish Club, which raised nearly $400 for the cause. "I hope everybody can come out and support this great cause," Isaac said. "I really want to be able to say Kings Mountain made a Wish come true." Jammin' for Wishes is sponsored by the City of Kings Mountain, Plonk Tire, Wesson Service and Gage Music Artist Management. The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the wishes of children (ages 2 1/2 to 18 years old at time of referral), who have life-threatening medical conditions. The allure of a wish experience is often considered to be a source of inspiration for children undergoing difficult medical treatments and a positive force that helps overcome their obstacles. More than 76 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to granting wishes. For more information, visit ncwish.org or call Butch Pearson at 704-4720965.

“The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.” Robert Frost, “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”
Time to say goodbye. After six-and-a-half years here at The Herald my departure is bittersweet. This is my last week. I knew the day would come when I’d have to have to go, but saying goodbye to one of the best places and some of the best people I’ve ever met isn’t easy. Still, as in the words of Robert Frost, “I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep.” God has called me back to Hendersonville, a city of more than 13,000 people nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It’s where my parents live and it will be nice to be closer to them. They’ve already prepared the “fattened calf” for my return. I hear a juicy steak awaits me. I will also be closer to my three-year-old niece, Gracie,

Every day, millions of students use school buses as transportation to and from school. Although school buses represent the safest form of highway transportation, there are a number of safety factors of which both student and drivers should be aware. Hoping to ensure school bus safety, I encourage caution whenever school buses are present. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), an average of 19 school-aged children die in school transportation-related traffic crashes each year and more school-aged pedestrians have been killed between the hours of 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. than any other time of day. “Children are often eager to get off the school bus because they are excited to tell their parents about all of the fun they had at school that day.” “It is crucial that parents re-enforce the school bus safety rules
who excitedly said, “Mimi coming home”, on the phone to me last week. On Sept. 4th, I will start my new job as a reporter for the daily Hendersonville Times-News. I’m leaving the Herald with a heart full of love for you all and a mind full of great memories and stories that have not only shaped this city, but me. Much of what I’ve learned in this field, I learned here “in the trenches” and under the great mentoring of Gary and Lib Stewart. I left Hendersonville for a new life and in search of adventures in my first role in journalism. I found it here, with you. You have afforded me once-in-a-lifetime experiences I’ll never forget. • Strapping into turnout
gear and going into a burning house with the fire department to see what it was like through their eyes. (I was safe with these great men.) • Covering a furniture give-a-way, organized by city leaders who felt a call to act when the economy first started to tank. The event started rough, but became a light to many in a dark time. (I got my couch there.) • Taking my Kyra, an intern at the time, on a fruitless hunt for a serial killer, who was wanted out of South Carolina. We learned he had been found and shot a day later. • Going with Lib into a darkened sweepstakes parlor to get a closer look at its operation and into “no trespassing” territory to track down a story. • Meeting celebrities like Ric Flair, Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich, and Disney’s Geno Segers. And homegrown phenoms like David DiMuzio, a world-class juggler; Calvin Edwards, a world-famous jazz artist; Ron Feemster, who works with Hollywood talent; and recording artists Molora Kellstrom and Scoot Pittman (to name a few). • Test-driving the electric cars of the future powered by chemicals made right here by the great people of Rockwood Lithium in Kings Mountain. Those Chevy Volts are silent, but powerful.
Yours, Ours, Others

• Getting the story on the new AT&T data center online before our competition and seconds before Gov. Bev Perdue announced it with a little help from great friends and technology. (It’s a proud moment when you can get it first and get it right when the chips are stacked against you.) • Finally figuring out (about a quarter of the way through the KM Christmas Parade) how to lower the top on Ron’s convertible. I was busy throwing so much candy that I almost ran over Kyra, my own reporter…right in front of television cameras. • Getting lost on the Kings Mountain Country Club golf course, after I finally figured out how to operate a golf cart. Who knew that the “Go” pedal made it go? • Having lunch with Lib and the girls. • Picking and cleaning potatoes with the Cleveland County Potato Project, created and maintained by volunteers who struck out to calm local hunger with homegrown tubers.

Your stories have inspired me, often, in ways I can’t quite express through words. For many years, you have been my people and I’ve loved you like my own family. I’ve been honored to be here. And I consider it a blessing to have worked under Ron Isbell, a great newspaper man, who has been an inspiration to me at the Herald and in life. He has challenged me to be more and do more than I could have imagined and pushed me beyond the limits my mind created. Many of the things I have accomplished were done so in part because he believed in me. I’m going to miss my Lib and my Gary and my entire Herald family. And I’m going to miss all of you.

children learn at school.” I would suggest that parents drive their child’s bus route with them to practice the proper safety precautions they can take to help ensure their child enjoys a safe ride to and from school. I also encourage all parents to discuss the following safety measures with their children: Student: Always arrive at the bus stop at least five minutes early. While the bus is approaching make sure to stand at least three giant steps away from the curb, wait until the bus has come to a complete stop, the door opens, and the bus driver says that it’s OK to board. Always walk on the sidewalk when preparing to cross the street near a bus. Make eye contact with the driver so that you are sure he or she sees you. Never walk behind the bus. If you are walking beside the bus, walk at least three giant steps away. Use the handrail when entering and exiting the bus. Take extra precautions to make sure that clothing with
drawstrings and book bags do not get caught in the hand rail or door. Never stop to pick something up that you have dropped when a bus is stopped. Tell the bus driver or wait until the bus has driven off to avoid not being seen by the driver. Motorists: Remember that children are unpredictable in their actions. Take extreme caution when traveling in a school zone. If there are no sidewalks, drive cautiously. Be more alert to the possibility of children walking in the road. Slow down and prepare to stop whenever you see yellow school bus lights flashing. Never pass a school bus when there are flashing red lights and the stop arm is extended. This is a sign that children are getting on or off the bus. Motorists must wait until the red lights stop flashing, the stop arm is withdrawn, and the bus is moving before they can start driving again. Learn and obey the school bus laws in North Carolina.

By Shelley Proffitt Eagan Just for the record... I am growing weary of having wet feet, changing pants and socks 2 times a day and wearing leather gloves that are crunchy when I put them on b/c they were soaked last time I wore them. I’m just sayin...But, I will not complain about rain. Just the working in it constantly. I almost lost my boot today at the Blacksburg farm in a low spot that has been converted to mud, the consistency of quick sand! The 50 lb. corral panel I was carrying on my back pushing me further into the mud didn’t help. I heard the tale tell slurping sound coming from my left foot as I tried to free it from the mire that used to be packed dirt. I teetered a bit, swaying this way and that, in slow motion, hovering, bent over with the 12’ corral panel on my back threatening to take me so far to the right that I face plant it straight into the bog I’m in. Since my hands are ‘tied up’ supporting the corral panel on my back I wouldn’t be able to stop myself as I
fell face down into the mud and, being pinned to the ground/mud bog I could have drowned right there beside our own barn in a 8” deep sea of goop! But, I didn’t! The boots were tight enough that I was able to lift my foot, with the boot still on, out and thus saved myself from certain mud suffocation! Every day we have to move the finishing herd at our home farm in Kings Mountain. No matter what the conditions might be. This means we are out in the most beautiful of days and also frantically finishing up a new electric fence with the thunder in the background. There aren’t many activities more exhilarating than playing with electrified wire, in an open field, with an electrical storm brewing overhead. As you can tell, it’s a life and death job here at Proffitt Family Cattle Co. At any moment we might drown in mud or be struck by lightning! Here’s to greener pastures, Shelley

JUSTICE: to be laid to rest today in Mountain Rest Cemetery with full military honors FROM Page 1 This was Justice's first tour in Afghanistan after joining the U.S. Army Infantry at age 18. He had been in Afghanistan only 30 days and spoke to his parents in Cherryville via Skype two days before he was shot in the neck. He was in a coma two days before he died. "Over here there's no life," were some of Justice's last words to his father from Afghanistan. "Let people know to appreciate the freedom and the life they have in America and be proud." Justice's wife, formerly of Grover, decided that her husband's mission of saving lives should be continued after his death as an organ donor. His lungs and heart may be given to other wounded soldiers in the Germany hospital where he died. Justice was a member of New Beginnings Church of Jesus Christ in Kings Mountain, where he preached, played the drums and guitar, and was on the sign language team. He grew up in Kings Mountain and was a graduate of Cleveland Community College. "My brother lived the Army and loved it, volunteering to go to Afghanistan," said Justice's sister, Lisa Bolton of Cherryville. She described her brother as someone everyone loved, who was "full of smiles, funny, outgoing and athletic." "My brother was a brave soldier who was loved with all my heart," said Justice's brother, Josh Eugene Justice of Kings Mountain. All he wanted to do, said Lisa, was to pro-
tect his country; "his family, his church, his country were important to him." Spc. Justice was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team, Caserma Ederle in Vicenza, Italy, where he and his wife and children resided. "We hear all the time that President Barack Obama is bringing the troops home and yet soldiers like my brother are still being deployed," said grief-stricken Lisa, "I don't understand." Randall Justice, father of Spc. Justice, got a call from an Army doctor in Germany 30 minutes before he was to leave on a flight to Germany to be at his son's bedside. The doctor reported to the grieving family there was no brain activity. On Aug. 18, the Justices boarded a plane for Maryland where they joined their daughter-in-law and grandchildren, Harley, Laura and Breonna for memorial services Aug. 19. A motorcade procession, led by dozens of supporters on motorcycles - many bearing the name Patriot Guard Riders, carried Justice from a nearby airport through Cherryville to Harris Funeral Home in Kings Mountain. His fellow soldiers carried his coffin inside. The family was set to receive visitors Tuesday evening and at other times at the home of the Justices, 3114 Tryon Courthouse Road in Cherryville. A funeral service will be conducted by the Rev. David Chapman at 3 p.m. Wednesday, August 29, 2012 at New Beginnings Church of Jesus Christ, 541 Crocker Road. Interment

SEWER: rates are on the rise in Grover; could rise 52% or more over the next few years FROM Page 1 WK Dickson, an engineering firm, which worked with the City of Kings Mountain on the creation of Moss Lake, is assisting Grover with the design of its new treatment plant and with grant and funding applications for the project. The new treatment plant will be able to process 400,000 gallons of wastewater a day, 300,000 gallons more than the town's current plant. Tripp estimated the life of the new treatment plant should last 20-30 years; about as long as the life of the loan. In a letter to citizens, dated Aug. 21, Mayor JD Ledford said, "we are faced with some difficult and quick decisions concerning our sewer infrastructure. As stated in a previous letter in May, our sewer infrastructure for the Town of Grover is in need of serious upgrades." He said that after talking to several outside agencies over the past year, the council
decided to transition the town's current wastewater treatment plant to the plant at Grover Industries. "Recently, Grover Industries and the Harry family donated the Grover Industries Wastewater Treatment Plant to the Town of Grover in an effort to help us continue to meet our citizens' current needs as well as our future needs," Ledford wrote. "This plant will in effect triple the town's capacity to process wastewater. This is our first step to making some much-needed upgrades to our infrastructure as well as making a positive impact to the town's economic development." But a few citizens at the meeting were concerned with the raise in rates. "If all the chips fall into place we're looking at a 52% rate increase?" asked Shane Davis of Grover. A PowerPoint slide showed several scenarios in which the town's sewer rates could be raised as low as 27% or as high as 70% in the next few years, depending on the ap-
proval of grants and/or the no-interest loan. Tripp recommended the town increase the rates gradually over time. "There are several thresholds that we have to meet to qualify for these grants and loans," Ledford wrote to citizens. "The most pressing is for the 0% interest loan. In order to qualify for this loan we will have to immediately increase sewer rates 10%. The reason for the immediate increase is that currently, our rates in relation to our median household income is too low to qualify us for the 0% interest loan. The other factor is that the due date to submit our application for this program is fast approaching. "Our best-case scenario would be to qualify and receive all grants and loans. Our estimates conclude that the full sewer rate will continue to increase over the next 3 years to cover the costs not paid for by the grants," the letter continued. "If we're going to grow we have to do this transition," Ledford told those in attendance at the meeting. He added that the transition
will not be cheap, but hopes it will help the city attract even more customers in the future to help lower everyone's rates. "There's really no good scenario, but it's decision time," he said. In a motion by Jackie Bennett and seconded by Roy Dyer, the council unanimously approved WK Dickson to assist with the town's grant application and funding search for the wastewater project. Cynthia O'Brien was absent. Council also unanimously approved moving forward with the project in a: • Resolution authorizing the Rural Center's Supplemental Grant • Resolution authorizing the funding application to the NCDENR Construction Grants and Loans section for the Town of Grover Wastewater Project • Resolution establishing a goal for participation of Minority Businesses • Resolution adopting a current water and wastewater capital improvement plant.

Resources to Help Seniors with Low Vision Dear Savvy Senior, What resources can you recommend to help seniors with incurable vision impairment? My wife has macular degeneration and has become very discouraged. Looking for Help Dear Looking, Unfortunately, there are nearly 2 million Americans, like your wife, living with macular degeneration today, making everyday tasks like cooking dinner, reading the newspaper or watching television extremely challenging. Here are some resources that can help. Vision Rehabilitation The best place to get help living and coping with macular degeneration is at a vision rehabilitation agency. Typically run by state or nonprofit organizations, there are around 1,500 of these agencies scattered across the country that provide free or low-cost services to help seniors and their families who are living with all types of incurable vision impairments. While vision rehabilitation does not restore lost sight, it does help people
maximize their existing sight, or, if they have no vision, it can equip them with techniques and tools to help them maintain an independent lifestyle. Services include counseling, along with training on how to perform daily living tasks with low vision, and how to use visual and adaptive devices and assistive technologies that can help improve quality of life. They also offer guidance for adapting your home that will make it safer and easier for your wife to maneuver, and can help her locate low-vision support groups in your area which is very helpful. Some agencies will even send their specialist out to work with her in the comfort of your own home. To find a vision rehabilitation agency in your area, call the American Foundation for the Blind referral line at 800-232-5463. If, however, you don’t live near a vision rehabilitation agency, you can also get help from an occupational therapist, or OT, who can provide low vision training in your home. Ask your ophthalmologist or doctor for a referral to an OT in your area. Your Area Agency on Aging (call 800-6771116 for contact information) can also

help you find nearby therapists. Many health insurance providers, including Medicare, will pay for low vision training by an OT if prescribed by your eye doctor or healthcare provider. Online Help Another convenient place to find help for your wife is online at a terrific new website called VisionAware (visionaware.org). Created by the American Foundation for the Blind and the Reader’s Digest Partners for Sight Foundation, this site provides free information on eye conditions, along with dozens of practical tips and instructional videos on living with vision loss, including concepts for adapting your home to make it easier to navigate, techniques for traveling safely outside the home, and various tips on how to manage things like finances, medications, and other tasks like cooking, cleaning, grooming, reading, writing and more. It also offers a comprehensive list of low vision products and technologies that can help your wife stay active and independent, including product reviews that are published in their on-

Mountaineers at Weddington Friday, Aug. 31 GARY STEWART Sports Editor

Missed Opportunities
Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers take on their toughest challenge of the season so far Friday when they travel to Matthews to face the Weddington Warriors in a non-conference game. Weddington, which defeated the Mountaineers 25-14 last year in a game that began on Friday night and was completed on Saturday because of thunderstorms, is off to another 2-0 start with impressive wins over Cuthbertson (38-21) and perennial 2A power Forest Hills (47-19). The Warriors lost most of the starters that upset topranked South Point in the first round of last year’s state 3A playoffs, but it appears this year’s team may be even stronger. “They look good,” says Kings Mountain head coach Greg Lloyd. “They are dangerous. They run a spread but run the ball good and they have good receivers. They run a 3-4 defense, they are well-coached and disciplined. They’re good in all areas of the game and are definitely a big test again.” Lloyd feels his Mountaineers will be in good shape if they eliminate the penalties and other mistakes that cost them last week at Burns. See MOUNTAINEERS, 3B
Crucial penalties, dropped passes hurt KM in 20-12 loss to Burns Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers will look back on last week’s 20-12 loss at Burns as a game where they made too many mistakes at critical times and did not take advantage of their opportunities. The Mountaineers fumbled the ball away to Burns on their second play from scrimmage, leading to the Bulldogs grabbing a quick 7-
0 lead that they never relinquished. After that fumble the Mountaineers answered with a 64-yard run around right end from junior DaShon Guest to set up a one-yard burst up the middle by Alex Reynolds. But Burns blocked the KM PAT attempt to keep a slim lead. The Mountaineers were in Burns territory on nine of
their 11 possessions, including three times when they were in great position to score but did not. Penalties and lack of concentration hurt them more than the big Burns defense. “Our effort was good,” noted Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd. “We just had a lot of missed opportunities and untimely penalties. It wasn’t a lack of effort, but

we left some points on the field.” Indeed. After cutting the margin to 7-6, the Mountaineers regained possession on a pass interception by safety Jose Sappia and marched from their own 22 to the Burns 10 yard line behind a 44-yard reception by Xavier Johnson and subsequent 6 and 19 yard runs by Guest. But a controversial pass interference call against Johnson in the end zone pushed the Mountaineers back 15 yards and a 43-yard field goal attempt by Jeremiah Early hit the upright. A dropped pass inside the five yard line resulted in a loss of downs in the second period and a pass interception at the two ended the first half. Burns was able to down a punt at the one yard line in early in the second half, and the Mountaineers eventually had to punt from their own 26. Burns got the ball at midfield and Denzel Gullatte caught a fourth down 22yard touchdown pass from Chris Montgomery for a 136 lead. Phillip Quinn caught a 51-yard pass from Jonathan Clark to give the Mountaineers a first and goal at the three yard line midway of the third period, but a fourth down pass to Quinn in the end zone was just off his finger tips. That missed opportunity seemed to deflate the Mountaineers and just three plays later Montgomery broke a 51-yard touchdown run to give the Bulldogs a 20-6 lead. KM drove 59 yards in four plays to score on a one yard run by Clark to account for the final margin. While the score may not indicate it, Coach Lloyd said the Mountaineers showed improvement in all three phases of the game. He See MISSED OPPORTUNITIES, 3B

After Allen’s return to the 4-yard line, it took the Mountaineers four plays to score with Frederick’s refusal to be tackled getting him just over the plane of the end zone for the touchdown. Isaiah Cole’s extra point split the uprights to give the Mountaineers a quick 7-0 lead. The Mountaineers were their own worst enemy on
offense as several bad snaps from center resulted in huge losses in key situations. Late in the first half a high snap on a punt attempt resulted in a 20-yard loss, giving Burns possession at the KM 41. Jody Williams covered the distance in one play to bring the Bulldogs within 7-6. Late in the half, Dwayne
Capps sacked the Burns quarterback inside the five yard line, forcing a Burns punt. Jair McCluney returned it 10 yards to the Burns 19, but the Mountaineers lost the ball on downs at the five. Williams scored from six yards out to put the Bulldogs See JV, 3B

Kings Mountain wide receiver Xavier Johnson goes up for a pass in the end zone Friday at Burns. The defender knocked the ball out of Johnson’s hands before his feet hit the ground, and the Mountaineers were penalized for offensive pass interference. FROM Page 1B especially liked the play of Jose Sappia (who had several tackles and pass breakups to go with his interception), in the secondary and Landon Keeter and DJ Moody on the defensive line. “Defensively, we held them up until that last drive,” Lloyd said. “I was real disappointed that we didn’t bow our necks. We gave up some third and
longs and a fourth down TD pass.” Offensively, he said he was impressed with the effort of Trevin Torres, DaShon Guest and several others. “Offensively, we moved the ball well enough to score,” Lloyd said. “The penalties hurt us and we dropped the ball some and that hurt us. We have to find a way to make plays. We gave ourselves chances to win. We just had too many

missed opportunities.” Kings Mountain played the game without senior defensive back Curtis McNamara, who sprained his ankle in practice last week and may be out another week. Lloyd said linebacker Alex Reynolds has a sore shoulder and strained Achilles, Clark’s nonthrowing shoulder is bruised, and Guest rolled his ankle. He expects all three of them to play this week at Weddington.
Mountaineers: at Weddington Friday FROM Page 1B “We have to finish off drives,” he said. “We can’t drop balls. We have to catch them. And we can’t let them convert third downs. We have to stop them.” Forcing some turnovers would help, also, he said. Despite last week’s loss, Lloyd says he sees improvements in all phases of KM’s game. “I thought our punt and kickoff teams were better Friday,” he said. “We have improved even though we may not have showed it on the scoreboard. “But the competition is much better than it was in our first game (against East Rutherford). We just have to find a way to stick the ball in the end zone.”
In an effort to re-focus all of the fund-raisers held by numerous athletic teams, Kings Mountain High School’s athletic department and the Kings Mountain Touchdown Club have joined forces to begin a $100 raffle ticket sale which will result in $5,000 being given away at two football games this fall. Each ticket purchased entitles you to a chance in both of the drawings. $5,000 will be given away at the homecoming game against Ashbrook on October 5 and $5,000 will be given away at the final regular season home
game against Crest on October 18. Athletic director Dustin Morehead hopes the raffle will become an annual event and will help upgrade athletic facilities and channel the numerous fundraisers teams conduct each year. Teams will not have individual fund raisers, but all of them will benefit from this one big fund raiser based on a percentage of each ticket sold. Raffle tickets can be purchased at the school office or from any coach, athlete, cheerleader or band member.
JV MOUNTAINEERS: fall to Burns 18-7 FROM Page 2B yards out to put the Bulldogs on top 12-7 in the third period, and iced the cake with a 51 yard touchdown run late in the game. Kings Mountain drove deep into Burns territory twice in the second half. A parade of penalties took
them out of scoring position the first time, and a pass interception in the end zone ended the other drive. Except for the two big plays, the KM defense played well. Allen caused a fumble, which was recovered by Dillon Frederick, and Chase Frederick also recovered a fumble.
Capps, Bryan Sanders and Chance Frederick each made several solo tackles and were in on some others. Former Kings Mountain player Kyle Carroll led the Bulldogs in tackles. Kings Mountain, 1-1, stays at home next Thursday to host Weddington.
