NFL’s Action Not Acceptable

By LORETTA HUSKY COZART

I am disappointed the National Football League stoapped airing the LORETTA COZART “Star Spangled Banner” as part of their pre-game show.

Last Thursday evening I watched the Carolina Panther’s game on CBS. To my surprise, the game started without it. Surely, I just missed it.

I made it a point to watch the opening of the Dolphin’s game on Sunday and paid close attention. To my dismay, they skipped

covering the National Anthem for that game too. It was sad: no flag, no flyover, no honoring our military.

So, I found something better to do instead of watching the football game.

Recently, players began “taking a knee” instead of standing for the National Anthem after Colin Kaepernick sat or knelt during the anthem. In his words, he refused to "show pride in a

See NFL page 7

Post won’t televise NFL games now Legionnaires in Kings Mountain American Legion Post 155 voted unanimously last Thursday night not to televise any National Football League games at the American Legion Post until “football teams respect the National Anthem and stand, not kneel, when it is sung or played prior to the games.”

Vice Commander Tom Shytle, a Korean War veteran, made the motion, seconded by Greg Carpenter. Both said Legionnaires need to take a stand on the issue opposing the disrespect of our anthem, flag and country.

Post Commander Rick Moore, who presided, said that’’ many Legionnaires served in harm’s way fighting for our country and we honor our flag and our country.’’ The American Legion was in the forefront of establishing a flag code and founded the GI Bill which has paid for college educations for many veterans and has been expanded to include any serviceman or servicewoman who wants to go to back to school at any stage of their lives.

The Kings Mountain Post is currently conducting a membership drive.

Nationally, The American Legion has a membership of 2.4 million members.

‘Family First’ is goal of Legion Programs

Murphey’s Toy Run Set for Nov. 18

American Legion Post 155 is emphasizing National Commander Denise H. Rohan’s theme of “Family First’’ in programs for the year.

The Legion’s Fall membership drive is currently underway.

“We welcome new members,’’ said Post Commander Rick Moore.

Circle your calendar for Nov. 18 and the 23rd annual Murphey’s Toy Run. Rain date is Nov. 19.

The Toy Run benefits Shriner’s Burn Center and Oxford Orphanage, Masonic Home for Children, and Kings Mountain Police Departments ‘Shop with a Cop” program. The group’s goal is $5 per person and a gift.

Motorcyclists will meet at 11 a.m. at Scooter Shed, 114 Camelot Court, and police will escort them beginning at 12 noon all over the Greater Kings Mountain area and after the ride the group will return to Scooter Shed for barbecue with all the trimmings.

Vice-Narcotics officers and deputies of the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Department arrested one suspect and have outstanding warrants on four suspects after drug investigations. ‘’The Sheriff’s Office will continue to make drug investigations a high priority,’’ said Sheriff Alan Norman. He said “Statistics have shown for years that drug use leads to other crimes, in particular breaking and entering and larcenies, where users have to steal to fund their habit.”

Norman said the violence associated with drug dealing is a huge concern and those dealers who possess guns during drug transactions will be a very high priority.

The Sheriff’s Office takes complaints of drug sales very seriously, Norman said, and requests that anyone with information on drug dealers in

Students will be charged After fight in school bathroom Charges are pending upon further investigation by the Sheriff’s Department of an Oct. 6 fight between two students in the boys’ bathroom at Burns High School in Lawndale.

Sheriff Alan Norman said two students, ages 14 and 15, willfully intended to participate in a “play fight.”

The incident was brought to school administrator’s attention and both students were disciplined.

On Friday evening, Norman said a video recording of part of the incident was presented to school officials.

The video, he said, depicted one student clearly being the aggressor, even though in the beginning the two are squared off with fists up, in fighting stances. The alleged aggressor, age 15, closed the distance and landed several uncontested punches into the victim’s midsection, before the 14-year-old went to his knees against the wall. Other

videos of the incident have emerged, said the Sheriff, depicting the same scene.

School surveillance video depicted the aggressor, the victim, and three other students walking into the same restroom just before the incident. A short time later, they all emerged with nothing appearing to draw any attention of being out of the ordinary.

Cleveland County Sheriff’s School Resource Officers have investigated the matter. An unusual aspect of this case, according to the Sheriff, is that the children initially agreed to participate in the play fight, but it appears to have gotten out of hand.

Both participants admitted to the horseplay. All involved are juveniles under the age of 16 and will be served with juvenile petitions.

Norman said the 15-yearold aggressor will be charged with assault. Three other students, two 14-year-olds and one age 15, will be charged

with cypher bullying, related to the dissemination of the video for the purpose of intimidating or tormenting the minor.

Sheriff Norman said, “This is a situation that could have been avoided altogether.

Children usually learn at a young age that horseplay and rough-housing lead to someone getting carried away, with someone getting physically hurt or their feelings hurt. School is for learning and the bathroom is not a place for horseplay or fighting. Furthermore, when people take video of a criminal act and the misfortune of others, just to torment them or to cause a social media spectacle, there has to be consequences. Our School Resource Officers are in our schools to keep our kids safe. We need those kids to meet us halfway by not engaging in disruptive and reckless behavior. Decisions have consequences.”

Vehicle break-ins Sunday kept police busy Reports of vehicle breakins have kept police busy.

All the incidents were on Sunday and involved out-of-town and out-of-state drivers who had parked vehicles on Holiday Inn Drive.

Windows were shattered in the locked cars which included a 2013 Chevrolet

Express Truck, 2005 Dodge Dakota Truck, a 2008 Ford Taurus, 2008 Infiniti, two 2018 Dodge Rams, one 2007 Dodge Ram, three Ford Explorers, a 2000 Chevy Tahoe, 2016 Nissan, and 2003 Chevrolet.

■ MEDITATION

The Reformation: Part 3 “ A l l Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, Rev. Joshua and for Morgan Advent training Lutheran Church in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” — 2 Timothy 3:16 The spirit of reformation is built on the importance of upholding the Holy Scripture, no matter

what. When we delve deeper into the Word of God, things begin to come to light in our lives: love, hope, and joy! It calls us to be people that live a life that’s solidified in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. That’s one of the key actions that have echoed through the ages called The Reformation.

But... how do you fit into The Reformation that does not end, but continues into every aspect of your life? It’s simple, the Holy Spirit is always leading and guiding. In the scripture that started this article, it states that

the Holy Scriptures equip us to do good works. Not good works to get us into heaven, like badges of honor, or pats on the back; but rather, as a sign of who we are. It’s been called the greater double negative in history. How can you notnot do good works because of what Jesus has done for you on Calvary’s Cross?!

John 13:35 states “By this shall all people know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another.” Our love shows others who we are. It’s this simple: if a child is playing in the street, a truck is coming its way, you get that child to safety. You

don’t think of the reward you’ll get. You simply DO what is right!

That my friends is part of what it means to be in a state of reformation.

That’s what The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther was aiming for. You are a Christian because of what Jesus has done for us.

Let people know who you are by your love. Dig deeper into the scriptures, so you can be guided to live a life that is Christ Centered and worthy! Be blessed Kings Mountainlet your light shine for others!

“The Woman in Pink” gives back to cancer survivors Kim Beverly was 37 years old, a young mother with two children, when doctors gave her the news that no one wants to hear.

“I was diagnosed with breast cancer and then at age 50 in June 2011 I began my second battle with breast cancer,’’ said Beverly who was the speaker at the newly-formed “Steps Together.’’

Beverly’s dream to give back to her community by helping other cancer patients began about midnight on July 30, 2011. “God inspired me to pick up my drawing pad and pencil and begin sketching what would become the face of “The Lady in Pink,’’ a ministry to countless women and raise awareness through festivals and speaking engagements.

Beverly co-founded “The Woman in Pink Wig Boutique” with sister-in-

law Deborah Mull and sister Paige Golding at 315 E. 2nd Avenue, Gastonia, where she gives wigs or other head covering free of charge to women battling cancer. The nonprofit organization relies on grants, donations and sales of awareness merchandise to fund the business which is open Wednesdays and Thursdays each week from 10 a.m.-3 p.m.

“Any woman battling any type of cancer is presented free of charge a wig, a wig stand, wig care products, a wig cap and a brush or comb,’’ said Beverly.

She also has an online store www.thewomaninpink.com Kim and Shane Beverly have been married 34 years and have two sons. Gabe and Lindsay Beverly have a five months old daughter, Zuri and Chase and Savannah Beverly are expecting their son, Jamison Beverly

in November.

The family says that the mission of “The Lady in Pink” is ‘shairing hope.”

Debbie Boheler, also a breast cancer survivor, founded the popular support group that meets second Monday nights at First Baptist Church Parlor. “This group allows us to tell our stories, ask our questions, share our emotions and most importantly draw strength from learning of each other’s struggles and triumphs,’’ said Boheler.

“In the monthly, fellowship meetings of “Steps Together” we can experience unique fellowship with those who truly share in a pilgrimage that many simply cannot understand,’’ said Boheler, founder and director of the support group. Debbie was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015.

Dinner/Dance Saturday The public is invited to a dinner-dance Saturday at Gaston County Citizens Resource Center, 1303 Dallas/ Cherryville Highway, Dallas, sponsored by Widowed Group of Greater Gaston Area. Tickets are $10. Dinner will be served at 6:15 p.m. and includes BBQ chicken with glazed carrots, boiled potatoes, yeast rolls, Grandma’s cookies, tea, coffee and soft drinks.

Crimson Rose, featuring two female vocalists, will play for dancing from 7-10 p.m.

Bess Phifer celebrates 100th Birthday

Ed. Note- The recipes in today’s cooking column come from “Star Spangled Recipes,’’ published by the American Legion Auxiliary, State of North Carolina.)

By LORETTA HUSKY COZART Special to the Herald

On Saturday, October 14th, Bess Phifer celebrated her 100th birthday at Boyce Memorial ARP Church in Kings Mountain with hundreds of her friends. Guests signed the registry and were greeted by Bess Phifer’s oldest son, Doyt and his wife, Thelma.

Dressed in a beautiful red dress and wearing a corsage, Bess Phifer was the epitome of loveliness and grace as she greeted every guest personally with hugs and conversation.

The Fellowship Hall was filled to capacity with people greeting each other; the room echoed with the sounds of conversation and laughter. Guests streamed into the gathering for two hours, each welcomed by her children. This was truly a celebration honoring a remarkable woman.

A tribute table featuring the life of Bess-Alice Hambright Phifer chronicled a life well-lived, including photos, newspaper articles, and memorabilia from her childhood, service in the American National Red Cross, courtship with Marriott Phifer, a double wedding with sister, Lucy, and her married life.

A birthday cake was fea-

BESS PHIFER tured at the dessert table, where guests were treated to punch and a glazed 7-up pound cake, baked by daughters Reta and Connie.

Sisters Aileen and Sue Drye joined Bess for the celebration.

This was not only a birthday celebration but also was a celebration of friendship. Over the course

of a lifetime, a person can get to know a lot of people.

Through her service to her community, Bess Phifer touched the lives of many in a real and personal way.

As evidenced by the turnout for her 100th birthday celebration, one can see that the people of Kings Mountain hold Bess Phifer in the highest esteem.

and actions.

As a person who takes pride in our nation, I don’t consider skipping the National Anthem an acceptable solution for the NFL. Since World War II we have paused for the National Anthem prior to the beginning of sporting events, from hometown games to the NFL’s multimillion dollar spectacles.

I could debate the pros and cons of the NFL’s decision ad nauseum. But, doing so wouldn’t change anything. The NFL could care less what we think … unless it impacts their bottom line.

I wish NFL players impassioned by this cause would find a more productive way to affect change.

Just “taking a knee” during the National Anthem for two minutes doesn’t

change anything. They say, “it prompts real conversation,” but the resulting conversations I’ve heard don’t address civil rights.

Besides, one bad behavior does not justify another.

The National Football League and its players have a huge platform from which to take a position in more productive ways than being disrespectful of our nation.

Athletes and the NFL could use their platform to promote civil rights in our nation, fund ad campaigns, and support groups making real differences in our communities.

The NFL and players have the means, if they truly commit to this cause.

Token behavior doesn’t impact change, concerted action affects change.

Bessemer City Receives $350K in Grant Funds

Pictured Bessemer City Police & Fire Departments being recognized by Mayor Becky S. Smith & City Council at Monday, October 9th Regular Council meeting. Photos by Josh Ross.

The City of Bessemer City recently received over $350,000 in grant funds for improvements in the Fire and Police Department. Mayor Becky S. Smith and City Council commended the departments and City Manager, James Inman for spearheading the movement to obtain the funds. The Bessemer City Fire Department received $230,000 in grant funds on behalf of FEMA’s SAFER and AFG Grant. The Staffing for Adequate Fire and

Emergency Response (SAFER) grant was created to aid fire departments with increasing or maintaining the number of trained, “front line” firefighters available in their communities. The goal of SAFER is to enhance the local fire departments’ abilities to comply with staffing, response and operational standards established by the NFPA. The primary goal of the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) is to meet the firefighting and emergency

response needs of fire departments and non-affiliated emergency medical service organizations. The Bessemer City Police Department received $120,000 in grant funds from the North Carolina Governor’s Highway Safety Program. The Governor's Highway Safety Program is dedicated to promoting highway safety awareness to reduce the number of traffic crashes and fatalities in the state of North Carolina through the planning and exe-

cution of safety programs. Specifically, monies received from this grant will aid the City in affording the salary, equipment, training, and other necessities associated with a full time traffic officer.

The City of Bessemer City is one of eight organizations in the state of North Carolina to receive the grant. Visit us online at www.facebook.com/bessemercity.com to view additional photos of the Monday, October 9th Regular Council Meeting .

Old and Broke Dear Broke, If you’re looking to eliminate your funeral and burial costs, as well as help advance medical research, donating your body to science is a great option to consider. Here’s what you should know.

Body Donations It’s estimated that each year, at least 20,000 people donate their whole body, after death, to medical facilities throughout the country to be used in medical research projects, anatomy lessons and surgical practice.

After using your body, these facilities will then provide free cremation – which typically costs $600 to $4,000 – and will either bury or scatter your ashes in a local cemetery or return them to your family, usually within a year or two.

And, just in case you’re wondering,

your family will not be paid for the use of your body. Federal and state laws prohibit it.

Here are a few other things you need to know and check into, to help you determine whether whole-body donation is right for you: • Acceptance rules: Most body donation programs will not accept bodies that are extremely obese, or those that have infectious diseases like hepatitis, tuberculosis, H.I.V. or MRSA. Bodies that suffered extensive trauma won’t be accepted either.

• Organ donation: Most programs require that you donate your whole body in its entirety. So if you want to be an organ donor (with the exception of your eyes), you won’t qualify to be a whole body donor too.

• Special requests: Most programs will not allow you to donate your body for a specific purpose. You give them the body and they decide how to use it.

• Memorial options: Most programs require almost immediate transport of the body after death, so there’s no funeral.

If your family wants a memorial service they can have one without the body. Or, some programs offer memorial services

at their facility at a later date without the remains.

• Body transporting: Most programs will cover transporting your body to their facility within a certain distance.

However, some may charge.

What To Do If you think you want to donate your body, it’s best to make arrangements in advance with a body donation program in your area. Most programs are offered through university-affiliated medical schools. To find one near you, the University of Florida maintains a list of U.S. programs and their contact information at Anatbd.acb.med.ufl.edu/ usprograms.

In addition to the medical schools, there are also private organizations like BioGift (BioGift.org) and Science Care (ScienceCare.com) that accept whole body donations too. Some of these organizations will even allow organ donation because they deal in body parts as well as whole cadavers.

If you don’t have Internet access, you can get help by calling the National Family Service Desk, which operates

a free body donation referral service during business hours at 800-727-0700.

Once you locate a program in your area, call and ask them to mail you an information/registration packet that will explain exactly how their program works.

To sign up, you’ll simply need to fill out a couple of forms and return them. But, you can always change your mind by contacting the program and removing your name from their registration list.

Some programs may ask that you make your withdrawal in writing.

After you’ve made arrangements, you’ll need to tell your family members so they will know what to do and who to contact after your death. It’s also a good idea to tell your doctors, so they know your final wishes too.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Improving Burns here Friday for homecoming

Mack’s running, flea-flicker passes lift Mountaineers over Green Wave Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers had to reach into their bag of tricks to overcome a dangerous Ashbrook team 27-26 in Big South Conference action Friday night at Ashbrook’s Bill Eccles Field.

The Mountaineers built a 21-7 halftime lead but saw the Green Wave roll off 19 unanswered points in the second half to take a 26-21 lead midway through the fourth quarter.

The Mountaineers, who had thrown a 42-yard fleaflicker to Christopher Brittain to go up 14-7 early in the second quarter, completed a 44-yard reverse flea-flicker to Dontavius Hughes to set up the winning touchdown with 5:21 left in the game.

Kings Mountain’s defense sealed the win three minutes later when freshman Day Day Wilson recovered a fumble at the Ashbrook 47.

“We’re glad it all worked out,” Coach Greg Lloyd said of the late play which put the Mountaineers on the Green Wave five yard line.

Mack hit the line for two carries, with the latter going for the touchdown.

“We needed one more play to win,” Lloyd noted.

“I was very impressed with

Ashbrook. They have excellent speed and size and are well-coached. They’re one of the better teams we’ve played.”

Things looked really good for the Mountaineers early. Their defense held the hosts to three-and-out on the game’s opening possession and a very short punt gave KM the ball at its own 45.

They covered the distance in seven plays, with Mack going off the right side for a seven-yard touchdown and Micah Randall adding the PAT for a 7-0 lead.

Ashbrook drove the ensuing kickoff 80 yards to tie the score at 7-all on a 14yard run by Bishop Brooks.

On the second play of the second quarter, KM’s AJ Austin recovered an Ashbrook fumble at the Green Wave 40. After a two-yard loss, quarterback Kaylon Wade threw the flea-flicker to Brittain who was 20 yards behind the Ashbrook safety.

Late in the half, Ashbrook faced a fourth and four at its own 12. The punter, under heavy pressure, kicked a pop-up which was dead on the 29. Mack carried the ball five straight times and scored from four yards out to send the Mountaineers into intermission with a 21-7 lead.

This week’s games Burns at Kings Mountain Ashbrook at Cramer Crest at North Gaston Huss at Forestview

Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers, now alone in first place in the Big South 3A Conference, cannot afford a letdown after a tough, comefrom-behind 27-26 win over Gastonia Ashbrook last week.

The Mountaineers return home Friday for a county rivalry game against the Burns Bulldogs. Burns has won only one game, but don’t let that record fool you. Except for a loss to four-time defending state champion Shelby, they have been in every game with most of them going down to the wire.

With a parade downtown Friday, and other events at school to get ready for homecoming, Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd hopes his players will be focused on the game and keeping their conference undefeated record intact.

“We hope homecoming motivates us,” Lloyd said.

“Having a parade Friday afternoon and a longer halftime will be the only difference.” Lloyd just hopes the Mountaineers don’t take the Bulldogs lightly.

“They’re struggling,” said Coach Lloyd, “but they’ve been in every game except Shelby. They’re coming over here to win, and they’ll have confidence because it is a county rivalry.”

When the Bulldogs came to John Gamble Stadium last year for a SMAC encounter, they were not favored. But they came away with a big upset win that propelled them to a 10-win season that included two rounds in the state 3A playoffs.

“They’re sound,” Lloyd noted. “They have a good tackling team and they play hard. Their offense likes to mix it up between multiple quarterbacks. One is an outstanding runner and the other is an outstanding passer. We have to play hard and do it for four quarters.”

The Bulldogs have played some very good teams close ballgames. The state’s ninth-ranked 3A team, unbeaten Alexander Central, had to score a touchdown in the final two minutes to beat them. They fell late last week to Forestview, which comes to Kings Mountain next week for the Mountaineers’ final regular See BURNS, Page 13

Lutz, Frye win BSC tournament, KINGS MOUNTAIN State dual match play here today MOUNTAINEERS Crest 6-0, 6-0. Belcher and Bell lost to a strong team (Schuls and Sullivan) from Forestview 6-0, 6-2.

In the finals match, Lutz and Frye proved too much for the Forestview duo. Like so many other teams the past two years, the Jaguars came up far short by not winning a game and Lutz and Frye continued their win streak over the past two seasons to an astonishing 29-0.

Belcher and Bell played their way into the Western Regionals despite the tough loss to Forestview.

In singles play, Jasmine Guy was defeated by Charlotte Harwell of Forestview 10-8. It was a tight match but unforced errors forced Guy out of the tournament.

MC Johnson, KM’s #3 seed, played very well as she outlasted Maggie Lanier of Ashbrook 10-4. In the second round Johnson totally dominated her opponent from Forestview 6-1, 6-1 to reach the semifinals.

On Thursday, Johnson outplayed

her former teammate Kassie Johnson of Stuart Cramer, winning 6-0, 6-2 to set up a match against the top seed from Crest, Miranda Adair. The first set was very tight but Adair proved too much, winning 6-4, and in the second set she took over the match to win 6-0.

“I was very proud of our girls and their accomplishments to earn their way into the regionals,” said Coach Rick Henderson. The Regionals will be held at Hickory High and St. Stephens High Friday and Saturday. Play will begin at 2 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m.

Saturday.

Kings Mountain (10-0) will host AC Reynolds (13-2) in the first round of the State Dual Team Tournament Wednesday at 4 p.m.

“I encourage all tennis enthusiasts to come out and support our local high school tennis team,” Henderson said.

“I can assure all tennis fans will get a treat out of watching some of the best players in the state.”

Kings Mountain High’s tennis team dominated the Big South Conference tennis tournament last week at Ashbrook High in Gastonia.

Play began on Wednesday with the doubles duo of Natalie Lutz and Madelynn Frye completely powering their way through the tournament from start to finish.

The reigning state doubles champions lost only one game in the first two rounds of play. They outdistanced their opponents Masters and Crews of North Gaston and then outplayed Roney and Jurs from Forestview to reach the Thursday semi finals.

The KM doubles team of senior Amber Belcher and sophomore Sarah Bell won their first match Tuesday over Walker and Yuzvuk of Crest, then squeaked out a tight win over Parrish and O’Gorman of Cramer by the score of 7-5, 6-3.

In Thursday’s semi-final, Lutz and Frye continued to dominate as they beat Wesson and Warren from

From Page 12 Ashbrook’s offense was almost unstoppable in the second half and they reeled off three touchdowns to take a 26-21 lead with 11:13 remaining. The go-ahead score was set up when the Wave recovered KM’s only fumble of the game at the Mountaineer 38 with 2:55 left in the third period. Tyrese Nicholas scored from 14 yards out to give the Green Wave a 26-21 lead.

The teams exchanged three and outs, then KM got the ball at their own 35 with 7:45 remaining. Facing third and four at the Ashbrook 49, Wade took the snap from center Jonathan Rikard and handed off to Mack going to his left. He handed the ball to Brittain coming to the right.

Wade backed up a few steps, took the pitch from Brittain and threw a high pass right on the money to Hughes, who was being closely guarded but made an outstanding leaping catch for a first down at the Ashbrook five.

“It was a game of two halves,” Coach Lloyd said.

“It was good to get off to a good start but they got moving in the second half. They played solid defense, and then we had to do it at the end.”

Lloyd said he was pleased with the play of quarterback Kaylon Wade, who was in-

jured two weeks earlier and is still at only about 70 percent.

Wade hit 8 of 15 passes for 165 yards.

“That play to Hughes on the deep ball was big,” he said. “Overall, our effort up front wasn’t our best but Ashbrook’s defense is very big and physical. Wade has made good progress since his injury but he’s still about 70 percent. He’s still a couple weeks away but he’s definitely getting better.

Mack hit the line 29 times for 111 of KM’s 119 yards rushing, and also caught a pass for 12 yards. Hughes had three catches for 65 yards, Brittain two for 50 and Qua Brooks one for 36.

“I thought Micah Randall played a big role, too,” Lloyd said. “He got off some really nice punts and the kickoff into the end zone after we scored the go-ahead touchdown was really big.

Thank you teachers for you hard work and dedication. You are appreciated.

“Their number two, British Brooks, is a fantastic running back,” Lloyd said.

“He made it hard on us, and their good option quarterback made it tough. We were fortunate and very happy to win.

“I thought Jerdon Pressley was solid on defense, and so was AJ Austin, especially not having played much recently because of his injury. Defense was definitely a factor for us, especially late.”

BURNS From Page 12 season home game.

Spencer Devine, a senior quarterback, is the Burns leader and the Bulldogs have one of the most impressive running backs in the area in CJ Hopper.

Stormy Mosteller, a 6-4 defensive end, is being highly recruited and Kujuan Pryor is one of the best wide receivers around.

Lloyd hopes the Mountaineers will play much better than they did last week at Ashbrook.

“We have to get back to playing our type of football and doing it for four quarters,” he said. “This game is critical for us to stay on top. We’re sitting in a good place right now. If we drop a game that brings everybody else right back into the picture.

Ashbrook’s Jamerion Dawkins broke a 78-yard touchdown run with 25 seconds remaining to defeat Kings Mountain 12-6 in JV football action Thursday night at John Gamble Stadium.

The Green Wave defense stopped a potential game-winning drive by the Mountaineers at the Ashbrook 19 with 1:58 remaining.

After the Green Wave TD, the Mountaineers launched a final drive with 23.8 seconds left from their own 40. They reached the Ashbrook 26 with 2.3 seconds remaining but a pass in the end zone was intercepted by the Wave’s Trey Byers.

The loss was the Mountaineers’ first against a Big South Conference opponent, and their second overall.

They carry a 5-2 record into a game Thursday at 7 p.m. at Burns.

Ashbrook took a 6-0 lead with 30 seconds left in the first half when Dawkins took a pass reception away from KM’s Titus Clark and raced 25 yards for a touchdown.

Kings Mountain drove 99 yards for its only touchdown after Tre Jeffries forced Dawkins out of bounds on a fourth and goal running attempt with 4:34 remaining in the third period.

A horse collar tackle on KM quarterback Titus Phillips gave the Mountaineers a first down at the 20 yard line.

Phillips and Albert Hope both got off big runs behind good blocking to get the Mountaineers at midfield.

An 11-yard pass reception by Devin Pressley, followed by a penalty against the Green Wave for targeting moved the Mountaineers to the 25, where Hope took a pitch out around right end for the touchdown.

Hope finished with 106 yards rushing and Phillips added 96 to lead the KM offense. Clark, Jeffries, Jeremiah Adams, Robert Lipscomb, Devin Pressley, Chris Richardson and Luke Bishop led the KM defense.

TRUNK - OR - TREAT Friday, October 27th • 5:00-7:00 PM Bring your little trick-or-treaters to Summit Place of Kings Mountain for fun, safe, trunkor-treating! We’ll have plenty of food, music and fun waiting for you, as well as a vocal performance by Mark Blanton. The residents of Summit Place can’t wait to see the costumes - we’re as excited as the kids!

Being a Mountaineer is more than just a slogan; it’s a way of life.

We enjoy the simple things in life: our homes, our families, our churches. We take pride in our community and join together on Friday nights in the fall, to watch our KMHS Mountaineers do battle on the football field. That pride is evident when we travel to away games and almost always have a larger crowd on our side than do most of the home teams. We take pride in our Marching Mountaineer Band when they take the field, always putting on a fabulous half-time show both in appearance as well as outstanding sound.

In Kings Mountain, we also remember the mountain men and Catawba Indians who came together on the battlefield to take on Major Ferguson’s British Forces and defeated them in the Battle Of Kings Mountain, dubbed by Thomas Jefferson as “The Turning Point of the Revolutionary War in The South”. These farmers and everyday people came together to stand up for our beliefs and defeat the British killing Major

Ferguson and burying him at what is now a grave site in The Kings Mountain National Military Park.

This year, the City of Kings Mountain has decided to bring back to life “Mountaineer Days” which was phased out several years ago.

This event is a celebration of our local heritage and history as well as a love of our school. Many of us in the community have very fond memories of the Mountaineer Days of old from the beard growing contest, to rocking chair marathons, the Golden Knights Army parachute team landing in W.K. Mauney’s field, to the Paratroopers repelling from top of the Joy Theatre, to numerous street dances and many other activities.

The merchants on these pages as well as The Kings Mountain Herald would like to thank The City of Kings Mountain Special Events Coordinator Christy Conner, Kings Mountain Main Street Program Director Jan Harris, and all the staff and volunteers for bringing back this special event, this year named “Mountaineer Days Heritage Festival”
