Mountaineers roll into state playoffs The last time Kings Mountain High’s football team was eliminated in the first round of the state playoffs was in 2014 when they fell to the West Henderson Falcons in Hendersonville. The current Mountaineers certainly made up for that Friday night with an impressive 56-7 win at West Henderson that puts them on the road Friday night for a second round matchup with the undefeated Statesville
Greyhounds. Don’t expect another blowout. Statesville is a powerhouse with 17 returning starters, and the Mountaineers will have to play even better than they did last year when they edged the Greyhounds and eventually went to the Western 3A championship game before falling to Charlotte Catholic, which won the state 3A championship the following week.
Friday’s game will probably the Mountaineers’ toughest so far as the Greyhounds have run roughshod over all but one of their opponents. The Mountaineers have had the state championship on their mind for almost a year, so they can’t slack off for a minute if they expect to get to Raleigh in December. During their impressive run since that loss to
West Henderson in ’14, the Mountaineers have had deep runs including two Western 3A championship games in 2015 against South Point and 2018 against Charlotte Catholic. Lloyd’s Mountaineers also went to the Western championship in 2008 when they lost at home to Kannapolis, which was coached by former Mountaineer coach Ron Massey. See full coverage on page 1B
