You can cut your Biscuit making is serious business for Brice diabetes risk ELIZABETH STEWART

lib.kmherald@gmail.com

Ashley Harris Cleveland County YMCA

November is National Diabetes Awareness Month, and the Cleveland County Family YMCA is helping residents of Kings Mountain and surrounding areas cut their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes through the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program. Programs like the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program, which help people lose 5-7 percent of body weight through healthier eating and increased physical activity, can prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes.

Upon a recent visit to the doctor, Shannon Blanton, 76, found out that she was indeed at risk for developing diabetes. Blanton, a former employee of Kings Mountain Hospital for 30 years, said, “It really concerned me and I didn’t want to be labeled “diabetic,” and I knew it was up to me to take control of the situation, to lose the extra weight and to get active.”

Blanton enrolled in the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program, and began her journey. “I tracked everything I put in my mouth except my tooth brush and dental floss,” Blanton said.

After 16 weeks, Blanton returned to her doctor. Her blood glucose was reported to be in the low normal range, she had lost 30 pounds, and was proud to report she was more active than ever.

“This will be a permanent change for me,” she said. “This program has worked so well for me I want to tell others about it and be an advocate for diabetes prevention.”

Pre-diabetes is a condition in which individuals have blood glucose levels that are higher than normal, but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. An estimated one in three adults in the U.S. (79 million people) has pre-diabetes, yet just 11 percent of those individuals know they have it.

People with pre-diabetes are at a high risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and other chronic diseases such as heart disease and stroke.

Find out if you are at risk for pre-diabetes at www.cdc.gov/features/diabetesalert.

The Cleveland County Family YMCA is one of 94

Ys nationwide participating in the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program, a lifestyle modification program that helps people reduce their risk for Type 2 diabetes. The program is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Diabetes Prevention Program, and based on the National Institutes of Health led, CDC supported, Diabetes Prevention Program study that showed losing a moderate amount of weight and increasing physical activity reduces the number of new cases of Type 2 diabetes by 58 percent.

“Initiatives like the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program that help residents avoid developing Type 2 diabetes and other chronic diseases play a key role in improving the nation’s health,” said Ashley Harris, Director of the Diabetes Prevention Program for the Cleveland County Family YMCA. “Taking preventive steps helps everyone live better, healthier lives.”

Participants in the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program take part in a year-long program beginning with 16 one-hour weekly classroom sessions with a trained lifestyle coach who teaches individuals about healthy eating, physical activity and other lifestyle changes. Following these sessions, participants meet monthly for added support in reaching their ultimate goals of reducing body weight by 5-7 percent and participating in 150 minutes of physical activity per week. Through lifestyle changes and modest weight reduction, a person with prediabetes can reduce their risk for Type 2 diabetes.

In Cleveland County, close to 90 participants have taken advantage of the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program. To learn more about the program, please contact Ashley Harris, R.N., at (704) 669-3631 or aharris@clevecoymca.org.

The YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program is supported nationally by the Diabetes Prevention and Control Alliance and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and is available at 94 Ys in 39 states.

“I am excited,” says Brice, who joined the local Bojangles 10 years ago and has been baking made-from-scratch biscuits for eight years.

“Being named a finalist is a big deal,” said Bojangles’ Regional VicePresident Jeff Wells. “There is no room for error with tough competition and a very precise biscuit-making process, but our Kings Mountain team is confident that Justen will represent us well as a strong contender at the finals.”

Fighting hunger, one bumper crop at a time DAVE BLANTON dave.kmherald@gmail.com

With borrowed land, donated money and hundreds of generous volunteers, the Cleveland County Potato Project has this year churned up more than 156,000 pounds of sweet and white potatoes in the effort to feed the area’s hungry.

This is the project’s fourth year and the figures that go with the harvests they’ve cultivating since 2009 come in at an astounding 430,000 pounds. “(Our total was) 8,000 less than last year,” said cofounder Doug Sharp, a retired human resources professional. “We feel this was a pretty good year when you consider all the rain we had at the beginning of the year. Our sweet potato amount would have been greater but we had to get them up a little early due to the early frost.”

“We were greatly blessed and I am thankful for the contribution of food we made to so many people. We hope to re-new our efforts next year. We would love for groups to accept responsibility for a plot of potatoes,” said Sharp, who said Cleveland County Potato Project provides all the raw materials and most of the labor to get through the planting, cultivating and harvest.

Sharp said the potatoes raised are funneled primarily to four agencies: the Greater Cleveland County Baptist Association, the Kings Mountain Crisis Ministry, The Salvation Army and U-CAN, a Lawndale charitable organization

Volunteers work the fields in the last stages of this year’s Cleveland County Potato Project.

In the first year of the initiative, about 30,000 pounds of white and sweet potatoes were raised. This year, that number is up to 156,000 pounds. The crop is provided to the area’s needy families. that stands for Upper Cleveland Area Needy.

Central Methodist Church and the H. Lawrence Patrick Senior Center in Kings Mountain and the Washington Missionary Baptist Church in the Oak Grove area also receive some of the bounty.

A great deal of financial support comes from the N.C. Baptist Convention, according to Sharp, who said the project is also grateful to Gardner-Webb University, which coordinates and provides student volunteers. He said about 500 volunteers a year pitch in to make the initiative a success.

All aboard the model train exhibit DAVE BLANTON dave.kmherald@gmail.com

They’ve traveled from as far away as Weaverville, Charlotte and Lancaster, S.C., to build a small world that’s meant to be a train lover’s delight.

The Piedmont “S” Gaugers, a model train hobbyist group have been busy setting up over 200 feet of track, scenery and cityscapes as the centerpiece display of the Kings Mountain Historical Museum’s 10th annual “Toys, Games and Trains” exhibit, that opens Saturday.

Admission is free to the popular exhibit.

Last Saturday, eight of the group’s members carefully glued, soldered and tweaked gravel, railroad ties and other elements of the miniature world that is their passion.

“It’s a group effort,” said Tom Baker while on a break from the sometimes meticulous work.

Baker, who’s from Lan-

caster, said his model train story began when he was a boy. He saved money from his job delivering newspapers to buy an American Eagle. It was a hobby he held onto until family life took center stage. Thirty years went by and as he found himself a retired empty nester, it was full steam ahead back into the world of model trains.

“It’s a great fellowship and a great hobby,” said Baker, who travels hundreds of miles with the group to model train shows and to help put on exhibits like the one seen annually in Kings Mountain.

Larry Moore was putting the final touches on a background village scene along the 1:64 scale railway, which is highly detailed and consistently scaled (shrubs, trees and human figures are all 1/64 the size of their real-life counterparts).

He’s assembled a Ferris wheel, a candy factory and a

toy store. If you look hard enough, you’ll find Santa Claus, too.

“Kids love to come through and push the buttons,” the Weaverville resident said of the route feature, which is electrified and interactive.

Moore links his love of model trains with a love he had of Erector Sets as a boy in the 1960s. In that hobby, as in his current one, the reward for hard work and dedication is creating something that is functional and beautiful.

“It’s really the same thing,” he said “It’s a similar skill set.”

The S in the name of the club refers to the scale used.

It is one among many in the spectrum of model trains and the tracks that carry them through artificial pastures and town centers. At one extreme end are N-gauge trains, which range from 1:148 to 1:160 scale. At that scale, an individual car

Larry Moore sets up the model train that kids of all ages love during the holidays at the Kings Mountain Historical Museum. This free exhibit opens Saturday and runs through January 4, 2014. would be about the size of a man’s index finger.

At the other end of the spectrum, one can find Ggauge hobbyist, whose trains

are between 1:22 and one 1:32. Individual cars may be a little longer than a foot in some cases. The G-Gauge was originally designed for

outdoor use and in fact this classification is often called garden trains.

The exhibit runs through January 4.

‘Shoebox’ collection sites Local volunteers are collecting simple shoe box gifts personally packed by children, families, and individuals in Cleveland County.

From this area, the shoebox gifts will be sorted and sent using whatever means necessary — sea containers, trucks, buses, trains, airplanes, helicopters, boats, camels, even dog sleds — to reach suffering children around the world. Right now you can join the effort to help the world’s largest Christmas project hand-deliver some eight million giftfilled shoe boxes to children in more than 90 countries suffering from natural disaster, war, terrorism, disease, famine, and poverty.

What you can do to get involved: Enlist. Your family, church, scout troop, community group or business to take part in creating shoe box gifts for needy children worldwide.

Kings Mountain native Lt. Cmdr. Mark Smith assumed the duties as commanding officer at Navy Operational Support Center Roanoke during a change of command ceremony Aug. 25 in Roanoke, VA. Smith relieved Lt. Cmdr.

Diana Galloway, who is now assigned to Naval Support Activity, Millington, Tenn.

As commanding officer at NOSC Roanoke, Smith is charged with overall management and training of the Selected Navy Reserve Forces of Western Virginia and Southern West Virginia.

The mission of the Navy Reserve is to deliver strategic depth and operational capability to the Navy Marine Corps and joint forces worldwide.

A third generation Navy veteran, Smith was born in Portsmouth, Va., and moved to Kings Mountain when his

Lt. Cmdr. Mark Smith father retired from activeduty naval service in 1966.

Smith graduated from Kings Mountain High School and attended the Universities of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Charlotte, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Biology in 1986. He also studied at American University in Washington, DC and the U. S. Air Force Command and Staff College where he earned his Joint Professional Military Education.

Smith earned his commission in the Navy Reserve as an Environmental Health Officer in 1998. He has served in assignments at Naval Hospital, Charleston, SCF, 2nd Medical Battalion Camp Lejeune, NC, Preventative Medicine Clinic, Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Fla., Naval Reserve Recruiting Area Southeast, Orlando, Fla., Navy Recruiting District, Raleigh, NC, Bureau of Naval Personnel, Millington, Tn., and Navy Recruiting Region East, Officer Programs Officer, Naval Support Activity, Millington, Tenn., where he managed all Navy officer recruiting in 26 states east of the Mississippi River, including Europe and Puerto Rico.

Lt. Cmdr. Smith is married to the former Beth Lineberry of Kings Mountain and they will reside in Moneta, Va.

MILLER: to serve as state leader From page 1A new job when the family moved to Kings Mountain from Charlotte. Currently, her staff is planning the annual holiday home tour Dec. 7 that will feature six beautiful homes, including two in Kings Mountain. “I was a stay at home Mom until our two daughters were raised and when we moved to Kings Mountain I ran for the school board because of my interest in a good education for kids and I love it,'' says Shearra.

Shearra and Tim Miller have been married for 33 years. In 1987 the Millers and her father, Wayne Beachum, purchased Bridges Hardware and the Miller family moved to Kings Mountain in 1990 and Shearra was elected on the school board the next year.

Daughter of Geneva and Wayne Beachum of Char-

lotte, Shearra grew up in a close-knit family in Charlotte. She graduated from Independence High School and holds two bachelor's degrees from Meredith College and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

The Miller daughters, Rebekah (Mrs. Ben) Hopkins of Raleigh and Kathlene Miller of Kings Mountain are both teachers.

Mrs. Hopkins teaches English at East Wake High in Raleigh. Kathlene is an elementary teacher at East Elementary School. “Twenty-two years ago I was a brand new school board member and I saw how important it is for school board members to take training and we did. I was scared to death,'' she said.

Now Shearra is excited that as p resident of the state association she can help provide growth opportuni-

ties for school board members with high-quality training programs that will help them to effectively fulfill their responsibilities as leaders of public education. Additionally, the program provides opportunities for school board members to meet the requirement of G. S. 115C-50 mandating 12 clock hours of training annually. In addition, legislation passed by the North Carolina General Assembly in the summer of 2009 requires all North Carolina local boards of education members to receive two hours of ethics training within 12 months of initial election and again within 12 months of subsequent reappointment or reelection. All current school board members were required to receive their initial two hours of training by Jan. 1, 2011. “I have always been an advocate for public school

education,'' said Shearra.

Graduation season is Shearra's favorite time of the school year. “I'm a graduation junkie because I love to attend commencement and don't stop with one school. It's rewarding because I have met many of our students and have seen them get to this point in their lives and it's so exciting.�

Shearra has been on the state association board and worked in numerous capacities for six years.

In Kings Mountain the Millers are active in Central United Methodist Church.

Relaxing time is spent in her flower garden or on her side porch with neighbors.

■ MEDITATION “We must always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters, as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and Josh Tucker the love of Pastor everyone of you St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church for one another is increasing.

Therefore we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your steadfastness and faith during all your persecutions and the afflictions that you are enduring.” 2 Thessalonians 1:3-4 This is my favorite time of the year not only because of the colors of fall and the changing of the seasons but because we tend to focus ourselves in a spirit of thanksgiving. And so, for the next three weeks’ meditations leading up to the Thanksgiving holi-

The Kings Mountain Herald | www.kmherald.net

■ CHURCH day, I would like to offer up three different passages that I think can help us focus on giving thanks to God for the blessings he has given us.

This passage from the second letter to the Thessalonians focuses on how we might thank God for the blessing of our faith. God has provided us with access to such a great faith, a faith that Jesus said would move mountains if we had faith only the size of a mustard seed (Matthew 17:20). The author gives thanks to God for the growing faith that is present in the Thessalonian people. Their faith from God has encouraged in them a greater love for one another. There’s no doubt, their faith has yielded many great things.

The author is giving thanks for the great things that have come about because of the gift of the faith.

We can celebrate and give thanks this day that God has provided for us such a great faith. This faith is tangible: it is a faith that we can and should

use each and every day. It is our rock on which we place our knowledge, hope and trust in the Lord. It is the means by which we grow in spiritual discipline and love for each other and for the Lord our God. Our faith is a powerful gift from God for which we should be ever thankful. Let us give thanks to God for the gift of faith in him and in each other.

Loving God, you bless us with a faith that is powerful enough to move mountains. You have given us faith that allows us to grow deeper in relationship with you and with each other.

You have given us a faith that holds us firm in times of temptation, trial and affliction. You have given us a faith that is grounded in your love for us.

Help us to exercise the faith you have provided in our lives. Guide and direct us so that our faith will bring about love and love will bring about justice and justice will bring about peace all in the name of your Son. Amen.

The driver, Frederick K. Whiting, 56, of Wilmington, suffered minor injuries and was not transported to a hospital after his truck, which he says was carrying 42,000 lbs. of freight, turned over while coming out of a mild curve. The accident occurred at 6 a.m.

Whiting was charged with exceeding a safe speed, according to N.C. Highway Patrol Officer J.E. Deaton. The truck was not transporting hazardous materials.

The overturned truck prompted Highway Patrol officers to block off nearly a mile of rush-hour traffic on the roadway that connects Kings Mountain to Cherryville and parts of Cleveland and Gaston counties.

Three tow truck crews and members of the Oak Grove Volunteer Department worked for more than an hour to right the large vehicle.

A minor from Gaston County walked away from a serious automobile accident just outside of Kings Mountain on Lewis Farm Road early Monday morning. The driver hit a mailbox, overcorrected, and slammed through the fence of a pasture holding horses, according to Gaston County Sheriff’s Department. Alcohol was thought to be a factor in the accident, police said.

Johnson charged in NY embezzlement A Kings Mountain woman has been charged in New York with stealing more than $40,000 when she was a clerk in a village in that state.

Kristina Johnson faces charges of third-degree grand larceny and two counts of first-degree falsifying business records. She appeared in a New York court on Friday.

In February, Johnson was terminated from her job as clerk in the Village of Riverside in southern New York. Following that, she relocated to Kings Mountain. Investigators say Johnson paid herself more money than she was entitled to.

New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, whose office assisted in an investigation, said Johnson used official village credit cards for personal cell phone bills, gasoline and an online dating site, among other purchases.

She has been released on her own recogCleveland County EMS vehicle on E. Hwy. Bus. 74. The EMS vehicle was responding to Sourivanthong because of an unknown medical issue. The estimated damages to the Jeep and the EMS vehicle were $10,000 and $5,000, respectively.

While at the residence officers observed a handgun and drug paraphernalia in plain sight. Officers secured the residence and applied for a search warrant.

Once inside the residence, officers found 12 grams of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.

GATEWAY TRAIL: 4th anniversary celebrated with Hamrick Overlook dedication From page 1A The mayor officially proclaimed Saturday, Nov. 9, as Kings Mountain Gateway Trail Day. Shirley Brutko, who chaired the festivities and has been active in the trail’s formation, accepted the framed city proclamation. “This is a great day for Kings Mountain,’’ said Brutko, who welcomed hundreds of families to the event. Brutko took the occasion to signal out one Kings Mountain walker. Gene White, retired City of Kings Mountain Planning and Zoning Director, has walked from the trail’s beginning and almost to the four year date Saturday has logged a total of 2, 721 miles, a total of 1,209 miles walked.

Walking the Cardiac trail

is a piece of cake for Gene.

His wife, Dru, was among those walkers taking the steep incline to the top where a panoramic view of Kings Mountain on a beautiful Fall day is worth the hike. Viewers stood at the top and marveled at the areas they could locate in Kings Mountain. “Four years ago this part of the trail was a big, big mound of dirt and full of trees,’’ said Doug Satterfield,. Vice-President of the trail committee, as he prepared to help cut the ribbon along with Scouts, the Hamricks, Rotarians, and trail crews in large numbers.

Said Satterfield, “This Overlook project was lots of hard work by many people, aided by many Rotarians, Boy Scouts, a grant from the Golden Leaf Foundation, and now a part of our his-

tory.�

The Overlook marker at the top proudly bears the names of Evelyn and Larry Hamrick, Sr., the Kings Mountain Gateway Trails Inc., Kings Mountain Rotary, and Adam Satterfield Eagle Scout Project, as well as the scout emblem. A bench that provides a perfect place to sit and enjoy the solitude of the overlook, was purchased by Sandra and Rick Murphrey. There is also a sign that gives the history of the City of Kings Mountain.

The 8-10 mile Gateway Trail is a greenway designed to connect the City of Kings Mountain to Crowders Mountain State Park, Kings Mountain State Park, Kings Mountain National Military Park, the Overmountain Victory Trail and Appalachian

Trail. Three miles of trail were added in 2011 and extend south to the bridge over I-85. In 2009-2010 more than 60,000 people visited the park. Last year the trail had more than 110,000 visitors.

The trail is open from dawn to dusk and is part of the Carolina Thread Trail, the Rails & Trails for NC and the National Recreation Trail site for the United States.

VETERANS: thanked for honor and service From page 1A and different.� But in a stirring speech in which he moved from the head table in the Park to stand among the veterans, he said that a veteran’s sacrifice is borne by a few. Of 300 million people in the United States, less than 1% is in harm’s way and takes the bullets of the enemy. “They understand what fear is.� “Freedom is not free but paid for by special people who know the ravages of war,� he added. “Would we go one more time? We were young and now we’re old but we would do what needs to be done.

Shame on you America!

How can you forget so quickly! We will never forget.�

Holding the American flag, he said “This flag is not just a piece of cloth; it’s red, white and blue because of you. “God brought you veterans back, that’s the biggest parade you’ll ever have. And someone was watching over

you. We still have a mission to care for this country.

America won’t be destroyed from the outside, if destroyed it will come from the inside,� he said.

Gwizdak said he spoke for the World War I veterans who could not be present at Monday’s observance of Veterans Day. He commended city officials “for not leaving God out in the service� as well as the ceremony and the honoring of veterans living on Veterans Day as well as unveiling of a monument to three men from the area who died in battle many years ago.

Mayor Murphrey said the idea for the beautiful memorial came a year ago after meeting with local Vietnam veterans who wanted a plaque placed in the city in memory of Vietnam veterans. “The project mushroomed and the idea for a small plaque became this beautiful memorial today, he said.�

The mayor said that “Kings Mountain is a grateful community with a rich

and patriotic heritage.� He noted the soldiers memorialized were killed in action in World War I, putting on their country’s uniform 100 years ago. “Freedom does not come without a price,� he said.

Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9488 color guard of Charlotte advanced and retired the colors.

Kings Mountain receiver Xavier Johnson outruns Clark (2) of East Burke for 58-yard touchdown pass in Friday’s game.

$11

Despite a 42-28 loss to end their season with a 2-9 record, two Kings Mountain Mountaineers hit a milestone in Friday night’s defeat to the East Burke Cavaliers in Connelly Springs.

Junior wide receiver Xavier Johnson, playing in just his second game of the year after having foot surgery following an injury in the Cleveland County Jamboree, put his name in the record book with 11 receptions for 231 yards and a touchdown.

The 231 receiving yards broke the previous record of 208 yards set by Tyrece Crawford two years ago at Crest.

Johnson set the school single game record for receptions last season as a sophomore with 55 catches. Those receptions totaled 871 yards. Added to one reception

for two yards as a freshman, and this year’s total, Johnson now has 72 catches for 1,150 yards and is well within range to become the school’s all-time leading receiver next year. The career record for receiving yards is 1,558 (on 78 catches) set by Terrance Young from 2007-09.

Junior quarterback Bandon Bell joined the school’s 1,000yard club with 1,568 yards passing. That feat was accomplished even though he missed two games with a shoulder injury.

Bell threw for over 100 yards in every game and topped the 200-yard mark four times.

In its 91-year football history, Kings Mountain has had only 13 1,000-yard passing seasons and all of them have come since 1996.

the second period on a 40yard fumble return by Tico Crocker and a 50-yard interception return by Bryan Sanders.

Kings Mountain scored an earlier second period touchdown on a 58-yard catch and run from junior wide receiver Xavier Johnson, who would finish the game with a school single game record of 231 yards on 11 catches. “Xavier played a good game and he was still only about 80 percent,� noted Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd. “It’s a shame he didn’t get to play much this year. He would have had a big year.“ Johnson missed the first nine games with a foot injury which required surgery.

He played briefly in the Mountaineers’ 10th game against Chase.

After forcing the tie, the Mountaineers missed a

golden opportunity to go into intermission with the lead after Elijah Whitaker recovered an onside kick at the East 35. Quarterback Brandon Bell ripped off a 16-yard run and then hit Johnson with a pass to the East Burke two. But, Johnson fumbled and the Cavaliers recovered.

The Mountaineer defense forced the Cavaliers to punt on their first two possessions of the second half and the East defense stopped the Mountaineers on downs at the Cavaliers’ 15 yard line.

After forcing the Mountaineers to punt with less than five minutes to go in the third quarter, the Cavaliers put together a 62-yard drive that culminated with an 11-yard touchdown catch

by Clark and a 27-21 lead the home team would not relinquish.

East Burke scored quick touchdowns to start and end the game in a 42-28 victory over Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers in their season finale Friday night in Connelly Springs.

The loss was the ninth straight for the Mountaineers and brought their final record to 0-8 in the SMAC and 2-9 overall.

The Mountaineers played extremely well on offense, and the defense did as well.

The big difference was ten turnovers by the Mountaineers (five fumbles and five pass interceptions) and four of them led to East Burke touchdowns.

The Cavaliers, who also finished 2-9 overall, scored on their first offensive play on a 72-yard hook and lateral. They went on to build a 21-7 lead before the Mountaineer defense tied it with two touchdowns in a span of a minute and a half late in

yard passer in all seven of his seasons as head coach.

Bell is in line to become just the fourth quarterback in KMHS history to have multiple 1,000 yard seasons. Michael Roberts threw for over 1,000 yards in 2006, ’07 and ’08; and Cameron Harris (2002 and ’10) and Jonathan Clark (2011 and ’12) had back-to-back 1,000 yard seasons.

Harris (2,495 in ’09) and Clark (2,125 in ’12) are the only KMHS quarterbacks to have 2,000 yard passing seasons.

Two more pass interceptions deep in East Burke territory led to two more touchdowns and a 42-21 lead. Kings Mountain tacked on its final touchdown with 38 seconds remaining on a 38-yard run by Bell. “I thought we played hard offensively and our defense played a good game,�

Coach Lloyd said. “You can’t turn the ball over like we did and win. We gained a lot of yards and had a lot of first downs; we just didn’t take care of the football. If you don’t take care of the ball you’re going to lose no matter how hard you play.�

Despite the Mountaineers’ won-lost record, Lloyd is optimistic about the future. There were only seven seniors in the lineup Friday night and 17 of the players who either started or had considerable playing time will be back next year. “We will have nine starters back on offense,� he noted, “and eight different players that started at some point on defense. Most of those players are freshmen and sophomores.

We weren’t very experienced this year but next year we’re going to be real experienced.

I’m sure we will have a good football team.�

blazers with eight caries for 78 yards and eight tackles, including one for loss. Marques Fewell had eight tackles and recovered a fumble.

The 9-10 junior pee wees (9-3) captured third place with a 19-8 win over the Gastonia Mustangs.

Kobe Paysour led the offense with 13 carries for 172 yards and three touchdowns.

The defense was sparked

by Lucas Perez with five tackles and two fumble recoveries; Chance Cannon with five tackles, Junior Odums with five tackles (one for loss) and Rashaard Brooks with four tackles and an interception.

Kings Mountain High’s JV football team ended its season on a high note with a 16-12 victory over East Burke Thursday night at John Gamble Stadium.

The Mountaineers built a 16-0 lead to break a threegame losing streak and even their record at 5-5. East Burke scored both of its touchdowns in the final five minutes with the final one coming with no time remaining.

A fumble recovery by Cody Stickler at the 16 yard line got the Mountaineers moving 84 yards in just five plays for their first touchdown at the 1:29 mark of the first quarter. Corey Tate carried twice for 73 yards, including 47 yards for the touchdown. Quarterback Darren Burns ran a twopoint conversion for an 8-0 halftime lead.

East Burke attempted on onside kick on the second half kickoff but it didn’t go the required 10 yards and KM took possession on the Cavaliers’ 42. On first down, Tate swept right end for a touchdown and Burns again added a two-point conversion to give the Mountaineers a 16-0 lead.

East Burke drove 67 yards in 10 plays to score on a one-yard quarterback sneak by Duckworth, but the Mountaineer defense stopped Duckworth on a two-point conversion run.

Kings Mountain’s Corey Tate (40) rips off one of many long runs in last week’s season-ending victory over East Burke at John Gamble Stadium. The JV Mountaineers compiled a 5-5 record and many of their players also gained experience with the varsity.

Kings Mountain missed a golden opportunity to put the win in the bag when the Cavaliers tried another onside kick, but the kicker almost missed the ball and the Mountaineers took possession on the East Burke 40.

Two runs by Trenton Moore moved the ball to the 20 yard line, but a bad snap from center resulted in a third and 30 from the 40

yard line and then the Mountaineers lost a fumble.

Houston Carringer picked off a Duckworth pass to regain possession but the Cavaliers stopped the Mountaineers on downs at the 14 yard line with 1:42 left in the game. Two Duckworth passes to Christian Parsons covered the 86 yards with the second going 59 yards for a touchdown as

time expired.

Kings Mountain got an outstanding running effort from Tate, Moore and Burns and a big defensive effort from several players including Cedrick Wilson, Treyvon Wilson, Cody Stickler, James Goad, Khal Welch, Malik Banner, Gage Kornegay, DJ Sumter and Roman Byers.
