It was in high school that she met the love of her life, Oliver tate.

Before their declining health, they were active in adult fellowship and enjoyed participating in beach trips and dinners out with church friends. Helen’s life was one extremely well lived.

KMLT presents “The Hallelujah Girls� Kings Mountain Little Theatre, Inc. announces performance dates for "The Hallelujah Girls.� Director Jim Champion urges everyone to make plans to see this Jones/Hope/Wooten southern comedy. Performance dates are September 13, 14, 20, and 21 at 7:30 PM and Sunday, September 15 at 3:00 PM at The Joy Performance Center in Kings Mountain. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for senior citizens and students. Groups of 10 or more can receive a $1 discount per ticket by calling KMLT at 704-730-9408. Tickets may be purchased online at www. kmlt.org or by contacting the theater at tickets@kmlt.org. KMLT season members may make reservations by contacting the theater at tickets@kmlt.org or by calling
704-730-9408. Reservations must be made at least one day in advance of the performance you wish to attend. THE STORY: Hilarity abounds when the feisty females of Eden Falls, Georgia, decide to shake up their lives. The action in this rollicking Southern comedy takes place in SPADEE-DAH!, the abandoned church-turned-day-spa where this group of friends gathers every Friday afternoon. After the loss of a dear friend, the women realize time is precious, and if they're going to change their lives and achieve their dreams, they’ve got to get on it now! But Sugar Lee (Suzie Shetler), their high-spirited, determined leader, has her hands full keeping the women motivated. Carlene's (Leslie Brown) given up on
romance, having buried three husbands. Nita's (Deanna Brown) a nervous wreck from running interference between her problematic son and his probation officer. Mavis' (Denise McCoy) marriage is so stagnant she's wondering how she can fake her own death to get out of it. And sweet, simple Crystal (Wendy Walega) entertains them all, singing Christmas carols with her own hilarious lyrics. The comic tension mounts when a sexy ex-boyfriend, Bobby Dwayne (Patrick Daley) shows up unexpectedly, a marriage proposal comes from an unlikely suitor, Porter (Greg Dixon) and Sugar Lee's archrival, Bunny (Linda Sharp) vows she'll stop at nothing to steal the spa away from her. By the time the women rally to-
gether to overcome these obstacles and launch their new, improved lives, you've got a side-splitting, joyful comedy that will make you laugh out loud and shout "Hallelujah!" Kings Mountain Little Theatre, Inc. is a volunteer based, 501c3 tax-exempt community theater. It owns and operates the Joy Performance Center and the Liberty Mountain Garden. It is a funded affiliate of the Cleveland County Arts Council and is supported in part by a Grassroots Grant from the North Carolina Arts Council, a state agency.

■ MEDITATION
God’s plan to encourage others involves you! Paul goes on to say that with the comfort and encouragement we receive from the Lord, “that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble.” (2 Corinthians 1:3-4) The Lord often encourages us through the words or actions of others, and we can also be the means or instrument of encouragement to those whom God brings into our life. This is not simply a nice thought or a good idea. We are actually commanded in scripture to, “Comfort each other and edify one another.” (1Thessalonians 5:11)
The Apostle Paul called the Lord, “The God of all comfort.” When you are going through a trial or a difficult Pastor Jeff Longwell time in your Penley’s Chapel life, you can Church be sure that God desires to bring you comfort. One of the most frequent ways He does this is through other people. In the passage referenced above,
This is something all of us can do. It requires no special talent or ability. No training or certification is necessary. All it takes is a willingness to be the person God can use to bless and encourage others. Sending a note or a text to tell someone you are praying for them costs only a few minutes of your time, yet it could be exactly what they need to keep pushing on in their difficult time. Calling or stopping by to check on a friend has more impact than you will ever know. When our little Caleb went to be with Jesus in October 2005,
there was such an outpouring of love and support from our friends and church family! Many would come and hug our necks or just sit and cry with us. Several people told us,”I just don’t know what to say.” My response to them was, “Just the fact that you are here means so much!” And it truly did. There are times when we don’t have the words, but we can still offer comfort and encouragement. A simple prayer for strength, a scripture from the Lord, a hug or a handshake, may seem like small gestures.
You may never know the impact these things can have in someone’s life. If you’ve been on the receiving end of encouragement, you know how significant it can be. It’s time we began to obey the Lord Jesus’ commandment to “Love one another as I have loved you.” (John 13:34) God has a plan to strengthen and encourage His children who are going through trials and tribulation. That plan involves you and me. Let’s commit to honor God and serve one another in this way.

Accelerate Cleveland recruiting for next class Accelerate Cleveland is currently recruiting for the next class starting in mid-September. Accelerate Cleveland is a seven-week job training program that prepares you for a career with one of Cleveland County’s major manufacturers. Participants received paid training at $10 per hour and receive hands-on skills training in small classes. To apply, contact Cleveland County’s Human Resources Department at 704-484-5533 or apply in person at HR Department, 311 East Marion Street, Lower Level in Shelby. Interested applicants can also take the required Career Readiness Certificate at Cleveland Community College. This a free skills builder which prepares students to be successful in a classroom setting. More information about this prerequisite can be found by calling at 704-484-5533. The purpose of Accelerate Cleveland is to provide motivated, underemployed individuals with a pathway to a career in the manufacturing industry. Accelerate Cleveland was designed to help solve two problems: 1) Cleveland County has an urgent need for skilled workers to fill jobs with major manufacturers; and 2) Cleveland County has more than 9,000 residents who are employed full-time but are making less than a living wage. On July 29, the first grad-
uating class from Accelerate Cleveland graduated and almost all graduates signed on for work with three employers: Greenheck, Clearwater and NEG. “We could not be more proud of the individuals who have graduated from Accelerate Cleveland,” said County Commission Chair Susan Allen. “They all took a leap of faith by participating in this new program and seven weeks later, they all have job offers.” "We appreciate the support we have received from Cleveland County's largest employers," Allen added. "The fact that these hiring managers extended offers to the graduates validates that this initiative is on the right track." “As we expand economic development in Cleveland County,” said Allen, “the demand for a skilled, jobready workforce is a critical component to attracting new business investment.” Program participants are identified, selected and tested to ensure that they meet employers’ rigorous hiring standards which include background checks and drug testing. Then, participants re-
ceive $10 per hour during the short-term training program, which allows them to quit their current job and learn the skills needed to work with area manufacturing partners. Accelerate Cleveland’s curriculum was designed to combine three core components: soft skills training, Certified Production Technician (CPT), and the Career Readiness Certificate (CRC). The core curriculum – Certified Production Technician - consists of four modules: safety, quality practices and measurement, manufacturing processes and maintenance awareness. During the program, participants can tour major manufacturing facilities that are partnering with Accelerate Cleveland. These tours enable participants to understand job roles and expectations, and it helps them make informed decisions about where they want to work when they complete Accelerate Cleveland. As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, Accelerate Cleveland is funded by manufacturing partners, foundations and agencies, with support from the County. Upon completion of the program, participants are not guaranteed a job, but they are given an opportunity to interview with each of the industry partners. Partnering companies are committed to interviewing program graduates.

NC superintendent announces partnership with Sandy Hook Promise NC State Superintendent Mark Johnson announced that the state education agency has contracted with Sandy Hook Promise (SHP) to provide a statewide Say Something Anonymous Reporting System in the 2019-20 school year. The Say Something program, including an anonymous mobile tip app, is a school safety program designed to change and save lives by teaching students, educators, and administrators how to recognize the signs and signals of those who may be at risk of hurting themselves or others and to anonymously report this information through the mobile tip app, the website, or the telephone crisis hotline. “Students play a critical role in helping to keep schools safe,” Johnson said. “They may see and hear concerns that adults need to know about but may be reluctant to report it. With the Say Something program, middle and high school students will better understand what warning signs to look for and when and how to report important tips through an app. Making this app available will be an important part of our efforts to make schools safer.” “We are proud and eager to work with the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction to train students across the state to ‘know the signs’ of potential violence and report them to a trusted adult or via the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System,” said Nicole Hockley, co-founder and managing director of Sandy Hook Promise, and mother of Dylan, who was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy. “With these comprehensive violence prevention systems in place, North Carolina schools will be
safer, protecting millions of lives and empowering youth to be upstanders in their communities.” Through the Say Something program, students, parents, educators and others can download the app and share school safety concerns with school administrators and school resource officers at schools, who will respond appropriately. More than 5,100 schools nationwide are currently using Sandy Hook Promise’s anonymous reporting system. North Carolina will be the second statewide partnership for Sandy Hook Promise with implementation of an anonymous reporting system that will encourage student participation in protecting themselves and their peers (Pennsylvania began using the anonymous reporting platform in January). The North Carolina Center for Safer Schools, part of the Department of Public Instruction, piloted an app in five school districts in 2015 and 2016. In that pilot, the center received tips related to bullying (39 percent), danger (25 percent), drugs (24 percent), weapons (5 percent), fighting (5 percent); and underage drinking (2 percent). In 2018, the North Carolina General Assembly included development of a statewide app in the 2018-19 budget bill. Tips can be sent in via web, a phone hotline, or through the app – including photos and videos. A crisis center staffed 24/7 by trained counselors will triage, categorize and deliver tip information. Tips will be categorized as either “life safety” or “non-life safety” based on the incident and information the school-based teams provide. The Crisis Center will notify school-based representatives after-hours when tips
are life threatening and, in cases of imminent threat, contact local 911 dispatch. Johnson said he believes that Sandy Hook Promise’s strong emphasis on training is key to a successful program. Say Something trains students, teachers and school administrators how to recognize warning signs and signals of individuals who may be a threat to themselves or others and to “say something” to a trusted adult or use the anonymous reporting system. Training will be provided not only for educators, but also for law enforcement agencies. The Sandy Hook Promise team and a DPI School Safety Team will be reaching out to school leadership over the next several weeks to provide information about implementation and training. Learn more about the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System at this link. Sandy Hook Promise (SHP) is a national nonprofit organization based in Newtown, Connecticut and led by several family members whose loved ones were killed in the tragic mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012. SHP’s mission is to prevent gun violence (and other forms of violence and victimization) BEFORE it can happen by educating and mobilizing youth and adults to identify, intervene, and get help for at-risk individuals. SHP is a moderate, above-the-politics organization that supports sensible program and policy solutions that address the “human side” of gun violence by preventing individuals from ever getting to the point of picking up a firearm to hurt themselves or others.

Keeping BC Storm-drains Clean and Pollution Free! The City of Bessemer City reminds you to maintain your storm drain by keeping it clear of debris! Streets lead to streams. Trash, leaves and yard clippings enter our storm drains and can harm aquatic life. The Environmental Protection Agency identifies storm-water as the biggest source of pollution to lakes, rivers,
and streams in our country. Washington’s Department of Ecology estimates that millions of pounds of toxic chemicals including petroleum, copper, lead, and zinc enter the Puget Sound each year. These materials can also clog storm drains and lead to localized flooding. Report clogged storm drains to 704-629-5542.

Cleveland County sees increase in tourism spending in 2018 By Loretta Cozart
Woman’s Club hosts candidates forum in September On Monday, September 23 at 6 pm the GFWC NC Kings Mountain Woman's club invites citizens to meet the candidates at their Clubhouse at 108 East Mountain Street. This is a great opportunity for the public to talk to the local candidates and hear their platforms. Each candidate will speak briefly and then there is a social time afterward.
Last year, Cleveland County saw an increase in tourism dollars, according to an annual study prepared for Visit North Carolina by the U.S. Travel Association. The study uses sales and tax revenue data, employment figures and other industry and economic data to determine the overall impact of visitor spending in North Carolina. Visitors spent a record $116.98 mllion countywide in 2018, an increase of 2.89 percent from 2017. State tax receipts as a result of visitor spending neared $6.87 mil-
lion in 2018, and local tax revenues directly resulting from visitor spending totaled $2.07 million. Visitor expenditures directly supported more than 740 jobs and generated more than $18.08 million in payroll income across Cleveland County. Cleveland County households save an average of $90 annually in state and local taxes as a result of tax revenue generated by visitor spending. “North Carolina’s tourism industry set a new record last year in visitor spending despite the effects of the storms,” said Governor Cooper. “This is a testa-
ment to the lasting beauty of our state and the determination of our people.” Noting that North Carolina ranks sixth in the nation for overnight visitation, Visit NC Executive Director Wit Tuttell said the spending growth in all 100 counties confirmed the appeal of the state’s destinations. “There’s a lot of competition for travelers’ time and money,” Tuttell said. “But people come to North Carolina when they know about the state’s natural beauty, our residents’ welcoming spirit, and the irresistible mix of tradition and innovation.”

New students or incoming kindergartners who reside in the Cleveland County School District should present an official birth certificate, not the hospital's record of birth, and a certificate showing that the student has received the required immunizations. Transferring students should also provide a transcript or report card from the previous school year, to document grade placement. Kindergartners should pass a physical examination - a physician's signature is required on a form provided by the school system. Kindergartners must be 5-years old on or before the first day of school of the year they will enter school. If a child is homeless or is identified as being homeless, he or she shall be immediately enrolled in and allowed to attend school, even if the child or his or her parents cannot produce such records. In addition, parents must show proof of residency (lease or real estate document, power bill, etc.). Cleveland County Schools cannot and will not refuse to enroll any student based on his or her immigration status of the status of his or her parent. North Carolina law requires every child to be immunized against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, red measles (rubeola), rubella and (German measles). Children under 5 must be immunized against Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), and a Hepatitis B vaccine is required for children born on or after July 1, 1994. To obtain and Out-ofDistrict Transfer, parents must complete an Application for Change of Pupil Assignment Form available from the Central Administrative Office or any of our schools. A check for $1,414 must be submitted with the application. Out-of-district students attending Cleveland County Schools will be assessed an annual tuition of $1,414. Parents must also obtain a formal release from the school system that the child is assigned. Although the superintendent may give temporary approval of the transfer request, final approval is granted by the Board of Education. The Board also will grant requests for transfer to other school systems if it feels a student's need can be better met elsewhere. Applications for transfers to other school systems also are available at the Central Administrative Office or from any Cleveland County School. For more information about these or any other student related question, contact CCS at 704) 4768000. Central Services is located at 400 West Marion Street, Shelby, NC 28150. Office hours are from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Airfare scam charges victims SUBSCRIBE TODAY! for cancelled tickets Taking a vacation? The Better Business Bureau wans that if you book your airfare through a thirdparty website, be sure to use caution. BBB Scam Tracker has received reports of scammers pretending to be online airline ticket brokers. They cancel your airline ticket reservations, but not before charging you. How the scam works. While doing an online search to find the cheapest flight to your destination, you come across a website that has a great deal. You haven’t heard of the company before, but the website looks legitimate and everything seems to be in order. When you begin the payment process, however, red flags start to appear. In the most common version of the scam, you pay with your credit card like normal. But shortly after making the payment, you receive a call from the
company asking you to verify your name, address, banking information or other personal details – something a legitimate company would never do. What makes the scam so convincing is that, once you pay, you receive a confirmation code that can be verified with the airline. However, after a day or two, your reservation will be cancelled and the company that charged you will disappear. It appears the scammers booked the flight and charged your card – only to cancel it shortly after and make off with your money. How to Avoid Travel Scams • Do your research. If you come across a company you haven’t dealt with before, research it before making any purchases. Look on BBB.org for reviews and feedback from previous customers. • Don’t cave under pressure. Many scammers
pressure you to make a payment or give up your personal details, claiming you’ll lose out on a great deal or must pay extra fees. If something doesn’t feel right, hang up and contact your credit card company. Let them know about the situation and ask them to put a hold on your payment. • Only make purchases with your credit card. If a company asks you to pay with a pre-paid debit card or to wire funds, don’t do it. These are not standard payment methods and, if you go through with them, there will be no way to get your money back. Credit card charges, on the other hand, can be contested. If the deal seems too good to be true, be careful. Better to err on the side of caution than to become a victim. If you do fall prey to scammers, be sure to report it to local police.

FALL SPORTS PREVIEW Mountaineers host Burns at GWU for Friday opener Kings Mountain High’s football team will be opening its football season on artificial turf after all. However, it will not be at John Gamble Stadium but at Spangler Stadium on the campus of Gardner-Webb University in Boiling Springs. The earlier decision to move the game to Burns fell through, and that’s fine with the Mountaineers. “That’s going to be a
good environment,” said head coach Greg Lloyd of the GWU agreement. Opening with a county rival will be a tough test, he noted. “We’ll have to do a good job to beat them,” he said. “They are very impressive. They’ve definitely improved and they’re healthy. Their guys are really athletic and they have one of the most electric players in the state in Kujuan Pryor.
He has unbelievable talent and is very dangerous.” Pryor had three touchdowns of a combined 200-plus yards against the Mountaineers last year, but due to numerous injuries to key personnel the Bulldogs still couldn’t contend with the more talented and deeper KM team. This year, the Dogs offer a new look as they’ve gone to a spread offense and a 3-3 stack defense that
is very aggressive. “They’re throwing the ball deep some, and their offense is more diverse,” Lloyd noted. “They’re going to be a big challenge. The first game is always going to be tough. It’s going to be hot and humid, so this may be the survivor of the fittest. It’s a big challenge but we look forward to it.” Kings Mountain should go into the game at near
100 percent. Last year’s leading rusher, Ricaylen Mack, has not yet been cleared by his physician for physical contact, and a promising transfer from West Mecklenburg, Chazz Armsgtrong, is dealing with an injury and is questionable. So are defensive back standout Belton Pressley and defensive end Ty Ledbetter, who sprained their ankles in last week’s jamboree game with New-
ton-Conover. Lloyd was pleased with their performance against Newton-Conover. New quarterback Ethan Reid, who played in the ninth grade at Newton-Conover before moving to Texas, was impressive along with running back Marquis Adams, slot Seth Bishop and many others. “I thought it was a good start,” Lloyd said. “We See at GWU, Page 9B
Mountaineers to put another exciting football team on the field this season Kings Mountain High’s football team is building a tradition that has put the Mountaineers among the best in the state. During Greg Lloyd’s 12year run as head coach, the team has posted a 91-62 record and has played in three Western NC championship games. The Mountaineers have gone 44-12 over the past four years, marking the first time in school history that they have averaged over 10 wins a season over that big of a stretch. If things go as expected, the tradition of the past years will continue this season as the Mountaineers plan to put another good team on the field. Posting double-digit wins is very difficult with
COACH GREG LLOYD
Kings Mountain’s schedule, which features state powers such as Shelby, Crest, Hunter Huss and numerous other teams that would probably be consistent winners in any other area of the state. “I think the Big South Conference is going to be really tough,” Lloyd says as he gets his team prepared for its season opener Friday night at Burns. “There are several good teams in this conference. Hunter Huss is good, Crest is good, and I think Ashbrook and Forestview will be greatly improved. “But I think tough conference games get you ready for the playoffs. You want to be tested.” In addition to the BSC,
Lloyd has scheduled non-conference games against some of the top teams in the state including Shelby, Monroe and West Mecklenburg. Although the Mountaineers lost some very talented players, including the school’s all-time passing and total offense leader Kaylon Wade, Lloyd believes his team has the ability to go just as far as they did last year; hopefully one game farther. The Mountaineers fell to eventual state champion Charlotte Catholic in the Western championship game last year. “I feel good about our talent level,” Lloyd says. “We have a lot of guys back. We’re working in new
quarterbacks and some linemen and we’re a little thin at linebacker. But we have a lot of good players and I’m excited. “We have a very talented group and we expect to have a good year and compete for the conference championship.” The Mountaineers had a good turnout with 76 players seeking starting time on the varsity and JV teams. Even though Wade is gone, Lloyd feels he has two good quarterbacks in junior transfer Ethan Reid and senior returner Belton Pressley. “Both are doing a great job,” Lloyd said. They have good size and they can both run and pass.” See MOUNTAINEERS, Page 10B
Kobe Paysour, Day Day Wilson two of top players in the nation Never in the 97-year history of Kings Mountain High School have two players from the same team received as much national recognition as Mountaineer juniors Kobe Paysour and Dameon “Day Day” Wilson. Both were recognized by ESPN recently as two of the top 300 college prospects in the United States. Paysour, a wide receiver, became just the second player in KMHS history to be named All-American when he was recognized for that honor by MaxPreps as a sophomore. And, he was also recognized recently by that outlet as a pre-season All-American. The two have received dozens of offers from major colleges but are holding out at least until the end of this season before making a commitment. At this point, Paysour says he’s been most impressed with Georgia, Tennessee, UNC and Duke. He is planning visits to Stanford and Oregon before
Junior all-stars Kobe Paysour, left, and Dameon Wilson are receiving national recognition. making his final decision which he says will probably be after the upcoming season.
“Those teams have had a lot of players to go to the NFL,” Paysour noted. One of his goals is
to play pro football. He plans to major in political science, so if pro football doesn’t work out he will
become an attorney. Right now, though, he says “I just want to improve and become a better
young man; and win the state championship.” Wilson is currently leaning toward UNC, NC State, South Carolina and Virginia. He says the Gamecocks have the best facilities he’s seen. “I have been impressed by a lot of people and coaches,” he said. “I was really impressed with the South Carolina and Georgia facilities. South Carolina has a new field house, a barber shop and they’ve made great strides. They have a huge weight room. “And, those teams pretty much run the same system that we do here.” Both say the new facilities at Kings Mountain High School have helped the football program. “Our facilities are better than some colleges,” Paysour noted. “The facilities, and all of our coaches have contributed to where we are right now,” Wilson added. “Coach (Greg) Lloyd See TOP PLAYERS, Page 9B

Lady Mountaineer volleyball to make strong run for conference championship With numerous starters returning, and some talented young players joining the team, Kings Mountain High’s volleyball team should be much improved this year and one of the favorites to win the Big South 3A Conference. The Lady Mountaineers have won or shared two of the past three conference championships and have an overall record of 61-18 during that stretch. In 2016, Coach Heather Pasour’s first year as coach, the KM ladies went 21-4 overall and won the South Mountain Athletic Conference. In 2017, they slacked off to 17-10 and tied for second in the Big South, and last year they finished with a 23-4 overall record and tied Crest for first place. Crest, and others, will also be fielding tough teams this season but Pasour and her girls are confident they can give anyone a run for their money. The Lady Mountaineers lost three key starters from last year – Makena Deaton, Lindsey Deaver and Mandy Breakfield – but they have a host of others who started and/or had considerable playing time. The key returnees are sophomore Aaliyah Byers, who is especially strong along the net, and last year’s Big South Conference Player of the Year Kyann Crocker. Others include Abbie and Layla Harris, Emma Goff and Kylie Bearfield. “We’ve lost one of our setters, Layla Harris, for a couple of weeks but she should be back in time for the regular season,” noted Coach Paysour. “Because of that we will be going to a 5-1. Our game plan will be a little different, but with her we’re going to
be good.” Many girls are stepping into new roles, Pasour noted. “We will be very competitive,” she pointed out. “I would say Crest and Stuart Cramer would be the favorites in the Big South. They have a lot of kids back, but we plan to be right up there with them. “Right now, I’d say our strength would probably be in the middle offense, and on defense we’ve always been pretty strong. We are scrappy. “Byers has good height and that will be a big help to us,” she added. “Others on the front are around 5-7 and the middle averages about 5-4. “It’s been a little crazy early because of all the work going on in the gym, but everything will definitely be finished before the season starts.” The Lady Mountaineers hosted a multi-team scrimmage last Saturday and Pasour was impressed with her team. “Our stats were much higher than they were last year,” she noted. “We still have a lot of areas to work on but overall we looked pretty good. “Our kill percentage was higher. Byers, Kylie Bearfield and many others looked very good hitting. Emma Goff really got a lot of blocks and looked good setting. Byers and Goff really looked good blocking. “We did really well serve receiving,” she added. “Crocker did a great job. Byers and Paige Bagwell did a great job. Bagwell had 73 assists. “I feel really good about this team, and we usually get better as we go. I’m going to say we’re stronger than last year.”

Price’s third year could be the charm for Mountaineer men’s soccer team Erik Price is beginning the third year of his second reign as head coach of the Kings Mountain High men’s soccer team, and he’s confident this could be the best year of that stretch. The Mountaineers open their regular season at home August 21 against Enka with the JVs kicking off at 5 p.m. and the varsity at 6:30. They will face Western powers AC Reynolds and Concord on the road on August 26 and August 28, respectively, and open Big South Conference play September 16 at Stuart Cramer. Price has a host of returning starters back from last year’s team that finished 9-5 in the conference and 14-6-1 overall. In his two years since taking over the program the Mountaineers are 18-9-1 in the conference and 29-12-3 overall. Returning starters include Danny Carlee, Ward Dellinger, Christian Quevedo-Johns, Tristan Stenger, Josh Visoso, Silas Price, Riley Washburn, Dylan Messenger and Alex Nivens. Many of them are talented juniors who have been playing together for years in club soccer and at the middle and high schools. “That’s a good group,” noted Coach Price. “And we have a couple good players to fill in the vacancies from last year. Getting bigger roles this year will be Dylan Platt and Kevin Smith. “All of them have played a lot of soccer,” he added. “Platt stepped into some of the roles from last year. Everyone is looking good in the preseason.” Price pointed out that the players have spent a lot of time working together the
last two years. “There’s a lot of chemistry between them,” he said. “I’ve seen that through club ball and them working together at the middle school and high school.” Price said he is re-training two new center backs. “We definitely have to keep our eyes open early and make sure we get that back line shored up,” he said. He points to four senior starters – Stenger, Visoso, Price and Smith – as a group that has been active in soccer for a long time. The same can be said of the juniors like Quevedo-Johns, Washburn, Dellinger, Carley, Nivens and Messenger who have competed in school and club soccer for years. “The juniors are a very good group,” Price said. “They’re very coachable.” He’s confident his team can make great strides this season. “The Big South is a very competitive conference,” he said. “Ashbrook is very solid. They won it last year. Forestview usually plays pretty good. This conference is very good. We had really close games everywhere we went last year.” He said Crest is also strong this year, so the two Cleveland County schools hope to give the traditional Gaston powers all they can handle. “We hope to be right up there fighting for first place,” Price said. “I don’t know how long it’s been since we won the conference. Last year we were third behind Ashbrook and Forestview. I’ve been back with the boys for three years now, and we hope this will be our year.”

Kings Mountain High’s veteran cross country coach Rayvis Key would love to see his teams make a run for the Big South 3A Conference championship this season. Forestview swept both the boys and girls titles last year with Kings Mountain running second. With a larger turnout which includes several All-Conference runners, Key thinks both the boys and girls are capable of winning the conference. “As far as the conference, we’re always in the top three,” he says. “Forestview did lose two of their starters and should be more vulnerable this year. “I also look for Ashbrook and Crest to be good. In the state rankings Crest is 47, Forestview 49 and Kings Mountain 50.” Key points out that Crest has not beaten Kings Mountain in his 10-year tenure as coach, and he doesn’t want that streak to end. “In the pre-season rankings our boys are ranked 49th and Forestview is 47th,” he noted. “We are second and third in the conference but I think we’re better than that. “The conference is going to be interesting. It’s been a very good summer and we’re ready to race.” Heading up the list of returners for the Lady Mountaineers is sophomore Marlee Arnold, who was All-Conference and sixth in the BSC last year. Fortunately, she’s not the only outstanding returner. Seniors Maggie Lloyd and Brooke Clark also made the All-Conference team last year. “Carlee Johnson, another senior, is back out and she should help us a lot,” Key noted. “She was All-Conference two years ago. “We have a lot of good leadership on both the boys and girls teams,” he added. “We have 13 seniors on both teams. “Lindsay Byers has

made great improvement. She should be in the top five.” Coach Key believes freshmen Divinity Irvin and Nicole Poston will be a big help. They are working hard for the number six position. Abbey Parsons, a sophomore, and Zahra Roberts, a senior, are also battling for the last two positions. “They will make us a lot deeper than we’ve been in the past,” Key noted. As for the boys, Key’s son Parker Key is returning and is looking good in workouts. He could be one of the top runners in the BSC. Senior Jesse Hughes, along with Dylan Williams, were both All-Conference last year and could rank high in the BSC. Justin Mathis is running hard for a top five position, and Tucker Leatherman could come in #6. “Tucker is a tennis star,” noted Coach Key. “If he can use cross country to stay in shape for tennis, that’s fine with me. “Ayden Wilson should do well, along with Wyatt Wilson,” he added. “They should be in the top seven. Marty Lovingood is currently number eight, but is real close to being seven.” The Mountaineers will open their season Wednesday, Aug. 21 at 6 p.m. in a 2-mile scrimmage at KMHS. Visiting teams are Ashbrook. Hunter Huss, Forestview, East Gaston and Stuart Cramer. Key feels like it will be a good measuring stick for the season. And, so will Saturday when the Mountaineers join 43 other teams from Western NC in an always competitive meet at Jackson Park in Hendersonville. Action begins at 9:30 a.m.

Overall, Kings Mountain High’s women’s tennis team is probably in a rebuilding stage, but senior Madelynn Frye will be one of the best players in the state. She has played in the state championships for three years in a row, and joined teammate Natalie Lutz as state champions in 2016.
Page 5B
Senior Sarah Bell returns as a starter for the Kings Mountain High women’s tennis team.
Frye, Bell return to lead young Lady Mountaineer tennis team Kings Mountain High’s women’s tennis team has built a remarkable tradition over the past several seasons. The Lady Mountaineers have been unbeatable in the Big South Conference – and the South Mountain Athletic Conference before that – with a perfect 28-0 record and four consecutive championships. During that span, veteran coach Rick
Henderson had numerous players advance to post-season tournaments and had one doubles team, Madelynn Frye and Natalie Lutz, win the NCHSAA 3A state championship. This fall, the Lady Mountaineers will give it their best shot but Henderson said it will be tough to repeat as conference champions. Coach Henderson lost all but two starters from
last year’s team, seniors Frye and Sarah Bell, and he has found himself scrambling to find players to fill the void of losing six very talented players. "This year’s team has some big shoes to fill if they plan on competing for a fifth straight conference championship,” says Henderson. Coach Henderson said he is optimistic about their chances of having a
good team, but he points to a good Forestview team to be the favorite to win the Big South. Junior Olivia Moss, who because of such great talent on the KM court saw limited action her first two years, is looking for her experience to carry her into the starting lineup, Henderson noted. “We were lucky to have five freshmen join our team from the
KMMS tennis team,” Henderson said. Those include Railey Bolt, Lillian Lutz, twins Hannah and Hailey McCall, and Karissa Waldt. “We also welcome Malory Buchanan and Brittany Tyson, our newcomers to the game of tennis,” Henderson said. “Bolt, Lutz, the McCall twins and Waldt look very promising after just a few days of
practice,” he noted. “I’m hoping Buchanan and Tyson will gain some momentum over the next couple of weeks.” Because of the delay in the construction of the new tennis facility at KMHS, Henderson said all of the Lady Mountaineers’ matches will be away this year. They open their season with a non-conference game Thursday at Shelby.

TOP PLAYERS From Page 1B and Coach (Kevin) Cruise will do anything for you,” Paysour added. Both began playing at a very early age and have progressed all the way up the line. “I started playing at age five with the Kings Mountain Optimist Club,” noted Wilson. “Believe it or not, I was the quarterback. I moved to defense when I got bigger.” Paysour, who is a Kings Mountain native, actually started playing at age seven when his family moved to Rogersville, TN. They moved back to Kings Mountain shortly after. “When I was 11 or 12 I played with the Kings Mountain Elite,” he noted. “That was their first year.” Both young men say their national recognition is the result of great teammates and coaches who have worked hard to make KMHS a strong program over the past several years. “Success is due to hard work,” Wilson said. “With the kind of teams we have you get noticed by the colleges. The more games you win the more recruiters follow you.” Wilson comes from a sports family in Grover. His brother Javaris Wilson played on KM’s 1996 championship team coached by Ron Massey, and his brother Trevon was a lineman at KMHS when Day Day was playing at KM Middle. Looking to the upcoming season, both feel confident the Mountaineers will win the conference.
“I feel like we have the commitment to have a really good team,” Wilson said. Both look forward to playing on the new artificial turf at Gamble Stadium. Paysour is probably a little more excited than Wilson. “I’m going to like it,” Paysour said. “I’m glad we’re putting it in. It makes you quicker.” “It’s a big difference, but I wouldn’t say it’s better than grass,” Wilson added. “I like to get dirty.” Paysour is a two-way starter, excelling on offense as a receiver and in the backfield on defense. “Playing both ways doesn’t bother me,” he said. “In fact, I love it. I could play it forever.” Paysour set the school’s season and career records for pass receiving last year, and for good measure returned a pass interception 103 yards for a touchdown to set another record. He credits his cousin, former Mountaineer Cedric Thompson, for helping him work on his drills and speed. Wilson said he’s had a lot of help in the off-seasons from former Crest High and Penn State linebacker Shamar Finney, who has helped him with his agility, footwork and quickness. Wilson already has 161 solo tackles, including 103 last season, putting him well on his way to become the top tackler in school history. And, he has scored numerous touchdowns during his brief career on interceptions, fumble recoveries in the end zone, and actually came in on offense and caught a touchdown pass
The Kings Mountain Herald | www.kmherald.com last year against Burns. Sometimes when the Mountaineers get inside the five, Coach Lloyd will put in his “Nasty” package when big guys like Wilson go on offense and just power the ball into the end zone. Neither player is going to hang their hats on their past accomplishments. They have more goals. “I want to always get better,” Paysour said. “As for the team, we most definitely want a state championship ring. I just want everyone to be determined to win and have fun doing it.” Wilson said his goals are the same. Coach Lloyd is proud of both of these standouts, as well as all other members of the team. “Kobe is one of the most phenomenal athletes I’ve ever had the privilege to coach,” he said. “He has an unbelievable skill set and excellent height and size for his position. “He has good jumping ability and runs his routes better every day. “But what makes him different is that he’s a gamer. He is so special and he has become a really good leader.” He is proud of the commitment of both players. “Day Day has been working since December,” he said. “He’s gotten a lot stronger and a lot quicker, and is taking better angles. “He is a leader on defense. He will have a special year. “To have those kind of players is special. We look to them to lead us and have a great season.”

KM sophomore Marquis Adams scores one of his two touchdowns in Friday’s jamboree game with Newton-Conover at Burns.
AT GWU From Page 1B played hard and everybody got playing time. That’s always good. We got good play out of a lot of new guys as well as the returning players. “I thought the offensive line did a solid job. Bishop and Adams made some big plays. We’ve got a lot to work on. We didn’t have a lot of penalties but the ones
we had were big ones and cost us. We have to play a lot smarter.” It took the Mountaineers just seven plays to drive 75 yards for a 7-0 lead. Adams rambled 31 yards off tackle for a first down at the NC 17, from which point Reid hit Bishop for a 17-yard touchdown. On their next possession, Bishop’s 58-yard sweep of the left side, and an eight-yard keeper by Reid set up a 12-yard
touchdown run by Adams and a 14-0 lead. After Javari Rice recovered a fumble, KM took over at the NC 47. Kobe Paysour caught a 35-yard pass from Reid, and after a NC sack Reid hit Adams with a 25-yard catch and run TD. Austin Browning was a perfect 3-for-3 on PATs.
KM’s Luke Bishop gets a good block to turn the corner on Newton-Conover defense.

MOUNTAINEERS
Kings Mountain High’s senior football players include front row, left to right, Quintin Davidson, Devin Pressley, Ricaylen Mack, Luke Bishop, James Ussery and Albert Hope. Back row, Xavier Brown, Isaac Watson, Zach Crawford, Tristan Hannon, Bryce Fisher, DJ Bagwell, Deron Dean and Alex Browning. Robert Wilson. Derek Wilson will also play a lot. Zach Crawford and Javari Rice-Wilson are two returners that should be two of the best in the conference. Crawford, a senior, is drawing interest from colleges. Ruffalo will also play some on defense. Junior ESPN Top 300 selection Dameon Wilson heads the list of linebackers.
Devin and Belton Pressley will also see duty there. The secondary should be strong. James Ussery and Luke Bishop return as starters. Kobe Paysour will play some as well. “Titus Phillips was injured last year but he will be really good back there,” Lloyd noted. “Armstrong will also see considerable time along with Chance
Cannon and BJ Bennix.” Kings Mountain has experienced senior kickers in Austin Browning, who handles the kickoffs and extra points and field goals, and Triston Hannon who will do the punting. Hannon will also be the holder for extra points and field goals. Jamie Wilson will be the snapper. If the Mountaineers get good special teams block-
ing, they will have several returners capable of going the distance including Paysour, Davidson, Ussery and Armstrong. “We’re looking forward to the season,” Lloyd said. “Our quarterbacks have a lot of talent and I think this team has a chance to go a long way.”
KM Mountaineers go through preparation for Friday's season opener with Burns at Gardner-Webb University.

Senior running back Ricaylen Mack, who has started since his freshman year, was recently cleared to practice after undergoing knee surgery. Lloyd said he may miss one or two games but he’s now practicing and looking good. Sophomore Marquis Adams, who started in Mack’s absence during the first part of last season, is back and looking good. “Chaz Armstrong, a transfer student, is getting some work at running back,” Lloyd said. “He is a good player.” Armstrong played at Charlotte Catholic as a freshman and went to Myers Park last year but had a broken arm that put him out for the season, Lloyd said. Senior Albert Hope, who got considerable playing time last year, and Rashaard Brooks, who led the rushing on the JV team, will also see time in the backfield. The Mountaineers have a host of good receivers, led by returning starters Kobe Paysour and Quintin Davidson.
James Ussery, who is versatile and can play many positions, will also see duty at receiver and Luke Bishop will be in the slot. Other receivers include Deron Dean and Belton Pressley. Bryce Fisher and Orlando Odums will be at tight end. Lloyd said in short yardage situations, the Mountaineers will go with some big fullbacks including Javari Rice-Wilson, Zach Crawford and Day Day Wilson. Of course, for all of those players to be successful they have to have a good offensive line. Veteran line coach Kevin Cruise has a mix of good returners and promising newcomers. Michael Blanton, who is up from the JVs, steps in as the starting center. Returner Xavier Brown will be at right guard and Chris Richardson at left guard. Chris Ruffalo will also play some at guard. Returning at tackles will be Blake Davis and DJ Bagwell, the latter a major college prospect. Defensively, the line looks sharp with returners such as Isaac Watson and
