Firemen help flood victims Helping people in need is what Grover firemen like to do and just recently they did just that.

Firemen and their wives collected a 18 foot trailer full of supplies for Hurricane Matthew victims in Kinston and delivered them last Saturday.

They saw people homeless after the storm, power outages and families who needed the necessities of life.

“They were so appreciative,'' said Jennie Shannon, wife of Captain Patrick Shannon, who is also a Grover city councilman.

In Kings Mountain, W&B Trucking collected a truck full of items for flood victims and took them to the Lumberton area. If more items are collected, trucking officials say they will take a second truck with the needed supplies.

OFFICER MIKE WATSON Special to the Herald

By Kate Gaier Carolina’s Healthcare System

Having spent so many years providing assistance to others, Shelby Police Officer Mike Watson never thought he’d be the one in need of emergency help.

But in March of 2015, he had no choice but to rely on

others for lifesaving intervention. At age 50 Officer Watson was at the firing range for routine training, when something didn’t feel right.

“I walked to my patrol car for water and felt some pain in my chest,” said Watson. “I walked back to the range and sat down. Then all of a sudden it felt like 800 pounds were crushing my chest. I couldn’t talk; my body wouldn’t allow me to take a deep breath; I was fighting for every breath.”

Watson grabbed his chest, getting the attention of other officers, who immediately called 911. Watson said the pain eased a little by the time Cleveland County EMS arrived. He was stubborn, and thought he could just “walk it off.”

But paramedics had already

DR. INGA KISH hooked Watson up to a cardiac monitor and could tell he was about to get worse.

They got an instant readout confirming that he was having a serious heart attack.

“There are no words to describe the crushing pain; you feel really helpless,” See 911, Page 7A

Quote of the week

Yours, Ours, Others

Truth is powerful and it prevails.

–Soujourner Truth

Don’t let this scam happen to you HB2 applies to The caller is really smooth on the telephone.

You’ve won a prize in a foreign lottery or contest but in order to claim it you have to pay fees for shipping, Lib Stewart Managing Editor taxes , insurance, and customs processing, etc. Or you may be asked to provide your banking or credit card information or to wire money by Money Gram or Western Union.

The latest scam going around is the Jamaican Lottery Scam The most recent scammer offered a $10,500,00 jackpot which

included a $950,000 upfront cash prize, a 2016 Mercedes and promises of a TV crew in Kings Mountain to announce the big winner. The catch was that he wanted $10,000 wired to an account in Jamaica, West Indies.

“I usually hang up the phone when I get a call like that but this time I just played along, ‘’ said KM resident Alex Alexander. The enterprising Mr. Alexander got the caller’s name ( it was probably a fictitious one) but he got a working telephone number which he gave to Kings Mountain Police.

Alexander said he let the caller

think he was really interested in taking the bait.

The caller was surprised when Alexander told him he was a retired police officer. Alexander is a retired 20 year employee of the prison system.

Foreign lotteries are illegal. If someone claims you’ve won a lottery in another country, it is a scam. Hang up the telephone immediately. Do not provide any information to the caller and do not engage in any conversation. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

Don’t let the desire to ‘strike it rich quick’ cloud your better judgment.

That’s the good advice from Alexander and from law enforcement.

“Mama, Mama the house is on fire,’’ the East School kindergarten student yelled to his grandmother when fire erupted early Monday morning from their utility room. “Get the baby out,’’ the little boy yelled louder.

Councilman Dean Spears and city manager Gary Hicks said the city should pass on the increased cost. The increase was effective Sept. 1. “We can’t afford to eat much more,’’ said city manager Gary Hicks.

The Charlotte City Council, on the other hand, did not have the authority to pass the ordinance. Furthermore, they are trying to force many to abide by their radical policies that could negatively affect economic security for people and businesses that might want to enter into contracts with Charlotte.

Under Article VII of the North Carolina Constitution, local governments in North Carolina generally do not have a right to home rule.

We had to act to remind the council and mayor that our N.C. Constitution still exists.

The N.C. General Assembly members and governor, and I realize in N.C. the governor does not have to sign all bills to make them law, have the duty to try to pass laws that will nullify local ordinances that are passed without enabling legislation and/ or constitutional authority. If some Charlotte elected officials had not exceeded their authority, we would not have had to nullify their ordinance by passing the Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act. Some know it as HB2.

Our law, commonly

known as HB2 – remember Democrats and Republicans voted for HB2 - applies to public facilities. Contrary to what many think, HB2 allows private companies to set their facility policies as long as they are legal and constitutional.

Disabled persons were not mentioned in the law; according to our staff, they are already protected under North Carolina law. Based on HB2, we now have a statewide non-discrimination policy. Some people argued that we should have extended protections beyond the current federal protections to include terms like “gender identity” or “sexual preference,” but this would have led to confusion; these terms are difficult to define and, to my knowledge, have never been adequately defined.

According legal opinion, we did not stop the ability to sue for discrimination. To respond to the misinformation, and as a sign of good faith, we passed a provision clarifying the ability to pursue legal action for discrimination in state courts. At the state level, we don’t have jurisdiction over the federal rules of procedure.

I am aware that some federal bureaucrats are bullying and threatening the people of North Carolina. It is strange that some are boycotting North Carolina, but seem to enjoy pursuing activities in countries where civil liberties basically don’t exist. It is disappointing that many accepted bad advice and decided to try to punish North Carolinians.

If one has complaints about this issue or the decision by some to boycott North Carolina, one should contact the Charlotte City Council members and mayor and request that they repeal their radical ordinance.

■ MEDITATION

A Voice For You “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer” Psalm 19:14.

Good day readers, I hope this article finds you well. I DR. JONATHAN wish to express my thanks M. BUNDON for your readership, comWorship Pastor ments, and encouragement.

First Baptist Church Sadly, today marks my final devotion piece until after the New Year. Until then, I would like to share a recent experience which may connect with your life’s walk. I recently lost my voice due to a combination of vocal fatigue and the finest allergies Cleveland County had to offer. As such, I had to endure total vocal rest.

Now my wife may have enjoyed it, but I most certainly did not. I love to talk with people, share stories, and make them laugh. It is amazing how much we use our voices each day. Try to communicate with your co-workers or spouse for ten minutes without speech. It is more challenging than one might think. Furthermore, a worship pastor relies on his or her voice for leading and singing every day. Additionally, the inability to speak or sing affected my worship. I could not sing the songs with the congregation nor read aloud scripture. Frustration set in. Can you relate? In my quiet moments, which turned into days, I reflected on the Christian life. God implanted within each Christian His song, the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Whether or not we choose to sing this “God Song” is up to us and if we elect to, will we give our best to sing of the love of Christ or in a halfhearted effort sound like a clanging cymbal? The song “A Voice For You”

continues to challenge me as the text declares: “Let my life be a voice for you; above the noise, a voice for you; let my heart sing your praise ‘til all that is raised is a voice for you. Let my life be a voice for you; my every choice a voice for you; let my life match your words ‘til all that is heard is a voice for you.”

My friends, I do not wish for any of us to lose our ability to speak, yet for me, it was instructive and convicting. If I forever lost the capacity to speak or sing, would my final word or song have brought praise and glory to God or would I be ashamed? Did I use my breath and vocal cords to encourage and console others or criticize and gossip?

My friends, we have a voice; how shall we use it? Let our voices, attitudes, actions, and life be a voice for God. “I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth” Psalm 34:1.

DAR Day of Service celebrated here The Colonel Frederick Hambright Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution took part in the 2nd annual National DAR Day of Service on October 22 to celebrate the 126th anniversary of the founding of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

The DAR, which is comprised of the descendants of the Patriots who won American independence, was founded on October 11, 1890, as a service organization to promote historic preservation, education and patriotism. One of the founders, Eugenia Washington said it best in one simple sentence. “We want a society founded on service.” The members of the Colonel Frederick Hambright chapter believe in new National President General’s Theme of “Moving Forward in Service to America”. Ann Turner Dillon, NSDAR President General has set a goal for Daughters to complete 19 million hours of community service to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment during her three year term.

This year, the Colonel Frederick Hambright Chapter decided to honor those that serve our community every day under sometimes very trying circumstances.

They gathered at Central United Methodist Church this past Saturday to create bags of goodies and deliver them to the Kings Mountain Police Department to thank them for all they do for others. Chapter Regent Loretta Cozart picked this as the chapter’s service project because “members of the department serve our community in so many ways, from the officers to the crossing guards. Their roles are vital to our community and we are grateful for their service.”

The Colonel Frederick Hambright Chapter, named after one of the heroes of the Battle of Kings Mountain was founded in 1916 and will celebrate its 100th Anniversary on December 10, 2016. The chapter adheres to the DAR National Motto of “God, Home, Country” in their activities. The chapter provides a scholarship to a local senior, sponsors students in the DAR Essay Contests, collects personal care items for our Veterans and books for Blue Star Families, an organization that supports our active duty military and their families. The ladies of the chapter can also be seen in many other service capacities around town including volunteering their time at community kitchens, with young people, hospice and with our vet-

erans.

More than 940,000 women have joined the organization since its founding 126 years ago.

All women who can document descent from a Revolutionary War Patriot are encouraged to consider the many benefits of joining.

“We are eager to welcome new members to our chapter, and we have volunteers available to help them research and complete their genealogy in order to apply for membership”, says Betty Masters, Honorary Chapter Regent and Chapter Registrar. Prospective members are encouraged to visit the Chapter’s website ncdar.org/ColFrederickHambright/ in order to learn more about the chapter and see a list of members’ Ancestors.

The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890 to preserve the memory and spirit of those who contributed to securing American independence.

Any woman 18 years or older, regardless of race, religion, or ethnic background, who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution is eligible for membership.

DAR is one of the world’s largest and most active service organizations with nearly 180,000 members in approximately 3,000 chapters worldwide. These members passionately carry out the timeless mission of promoting historic preservation, education and patriotism. To learn more about the work of today’s DAR, visit www.dar.org.

Recent statistics from Carolinas HealthCare System show that just over 50 percent of serious heart attack patients arrive by ambulance. Statewide, about 75 percent arrive by ambulance, compared to about 60 percent nationwide.

“Patients may have already suffered negative effects by the time they arrive in a personal vehicle,” added Kish. “Sometimes the damage to the heart is not repairable.”

Watson is grateful for everyone who worked together to help save his life.

He’s now back to work with the Shelby Police Department, helping to save others’ lives.

recalled Watson. “It’s like something is squeezing the life out of you and there is nothing you can do.”

Paramedics began treating Watson right there in the ambulance and gave him medicine to help keep him alive. At the same time, his cardiac monitor began transmitting data directly to staff at Carolinas HealthCare System Cleveland, who went on standby for his arrival. Paramedics continued to communicate with doctors at the emergency department, providing a steady stream of detailed information on his condition. A helicopter operated

by Med Center Air was

routed to Shelby in Watson’s case, to transfer him to Charlotte. And because of systematic coordination among first responders, Officer Watson is alive today.

“A lot of people don’t understand why we want them to travel by ambulance rather than arrive by automobile,” said Igna Kish, MD, who is emergency department director at Carolinas HealthCare System Cleveland and Kings Mountain. “Each minute lost can mean more damage to heart tissue. But if a patient comes by ambulance, they are already getting critical care during the ride in.”

Dr. Kish says there are several reasons why patients may opt to drive themselves to the hospital, such as cost or thoughts they can make it faster. But

Our inner cities need for all of us to come together.

Our military needs a united America. Can you imagine fighting on the battlefield representing America while most of whom you are representing are fighting each other? Our children and grandchildren need for us to pull together.

The third grade students of West Elementary School hosted a school wide community service project at the end of September and did a tremendous job doing something small to make a difference.

Hurricane Matthew struck the East coast during their Science unit on natural disasters. As students tracked the hurricane and

discussed affects on a community, they wanted to do something for the victims.

With their leadership, West students had a coin drive.

In one week, $1,000 was raised. The funds were donated to “Not One Cent” organization in Charleston, NC. to use the donations with their dedicated efforts helping victims of Hurricane Matthew in Haitii.

Peter Pan Jr, the Musical Based on the Disney film and J.M. Barrie's enchanting play, Disney's Peter Pan JR. is a modern version of the timeless tale about a boy who wouldn't grow up.

Wendy Darling (Erica Carpenter) loves to tell stories to her brothers, Michael (Cavelle Jensen) and John (Kaleb Starnes). But when her father, played by Caleb Wright, announces she must move out of the nursery, Peter Pan (Alayna Jensen) comes to visit the children and whisks them away to Neverland. Their journey introduces them to the Lost Boys, Mermaids, Indians and even the infamous pirate, Captain Hook (Ethan Clinard) and his trusty, yet entertaining, first mate, Smee (Harrison Burnette)! It’s Peter to the rescue when Wendy is taken captive by the dreaded captain, who has his own sinister plans in mind for our hero.

The score includes new arrangements of classic Disney songs such as Following the Leader, You Can Fly, The Second Star to the Right, Yo Ho, A Pirate’s Life for Me and many more as well as a story featur-

ing one rousing adventure after another.

This production is comprised of a wonderfully talented cast of thirty six 8 – 19 year olds that bring this magical tale to life.

Kings Mountain’s girls won their third straight South Mountain Athletic Conference cross country championship last week at Draughn High School in Valdese.

The host team went into the run favored by as much as 30 points, but the Lady Mountaineers placed four runners in the top 11 to win by 10 points.

“The girls were determined to keep their threepeat hopes alive, and ran their hearts out to take the crown by 10 points from Draughn,” noted Coach Rayvis Key, who was named Coach of the Year for the third straight season.

Kings Mountain posted 41 points to Draughn’s 51.

Shelby ran third with 87 points, followed by Crest 112, East Burke 116 and RS Central 129.

Nicola Bridges finished second, Conner Calhoun third, Maggie Lloyd fifth and Kassidy Hamrick 11th to make the All-SMAC team.

Brooke Clarke ran 21st, Zahra Roberts 30th, Caroline Foster 43rd, Katie Tucker 62nd, Carmen Henwood 66th, Alissa Bouttavong 68th and Caroline Kosol 71st.

Kings Mountain’s boys also did well, finishing third behind East Burke and Draughn. The Cavaliers finished with 29 points, Draughn 66 and KM 69. Shelby was fourth at 108 followed by Crest 121, RS Central 173, East Rutherford 198 and Chase 206.

Kings Mountain Middle School’s Patriots got another great defensive effort and three touchdowns from Kobe Paysour to roll over Burns 36-6 in their final regular season game Wednesday at Gamble Stadium.

The Patriots, defending conference champions, will host Crest at 5 p.m. this afternoon in the first round of the Tri-County playoffs. The visitors will come inspired as they fell hard to the Patriots in last year’s championship game.

Shelby, which defeated Crest last week in the Western Division final game, will host East Lincoln in the other playoff game.

The two winners will meet next Wednesday for the overall conference championship.

If Kings Mountain beats Crest today, the championship game will be played at Gam-

ble Stadium.

The Patriots built a 28-0 halftime lead in last week’s win. Their defense set the table by recovering a fumble on the game’s opening drive at the Burns 38.

Damien Wilson broke a 33-yard run on first down to set up a three-yard pass from Devin Pressley to Paysour for a 6-0 lead.

After a Burns punt, the Patriots got a 53-yard touchdown run from Paysour on a reverse to run the score to 12-0 after one quarter of play.

Kings Mountain drove 63 yards following another Burns punt with Titus Phillips hitting Wesley Hughes with a 55-yard touchdown pass. Wilson ran the two-point conversion to put KM up 20-0.

KM 24, CHASE 3

Kings Mountain’s Trevon Wilson (7), JT Cash (40) and Reese Reinhardt (3) have Chase running back Bruce Squires (15) hemmed up in Friday’s game at Chase. KM won 24-3.

McClain, defense spark Friday win Kings Mountain’s offense sputtered at times, especially early in the game, but the Mountaineer defense played lights out all night in a 24-3 victory over Chase Friday in Sandy Mush.

The Mountaineers, who improved to 5-2 in the SMAC and 7-3 overall, have an open date this week before hosting East Burke in their final regular season game and Senior Night on Fri., Nov. 5.

“We were a little off offensively,” noted KM coach Greg Lloyd, “but our defense was on all night. They played very well. I was pleased with how fast they played and tackled.”

Led by the line and linebackers, the Mountaineers recorded nine sacks and limited the Trojans to just 62 yards of offense.

Thirty-six of those came from their shifty quarterback, Tyrece McSwain. The second-

ary also played well, with Reese Reinhardt intercepting two passes.

Early, it looked like the Mountaineers were going to roll. On the first play from scrimmage, Reinhardt intercepted a pass and returned it 38 yards to the Chase 12.

But on a third and five play, Kings Mountain drew an illegal procedure penalty and then missed a 30-yard field goal attempt.

KM’s Lutz NC Player of Week

Lutz seventh in 3A Regional

Kings Mountain High sophomore Natalie Lutz was selected by North Carolina High School Athletic Association for the Female Performance of the Week Award last week.

Lincolnton football player Sage Sarratt was the male selectee.

Lutz was recognized for going undefeated in golf and tennis throughout the fall season. In tennis, she lost only three games over the course of the year.

As the #1 tennis player, she led the Lady Mountaineers to their second straight undefeated regular season and South Mountain Ath-

Kings Mountain sophomore Natalie Lutz shot an 81 to finish seventh out of 64 players in last week’s Western Regional 3A golf tournament at Etowah Valley.

By finishing in the top 17 players, she qualified for the 3A state championship which was being played yesterday at Longleaf Country Club in Southern Pines.

“She hit the ball very well all day, giving herself several opportunities to score a birdie or par on several holes,” noted Mountaineer coach Kevin Moss.

“If she could have just had a couple of her short

On the golf course, she led the SMAC by 65 strokes going into the final match of the year. She won all of the regular season individual matches in the SMAC, and finished seventh in last week’s Western Regional 3A championship. She shot an 81 to qualify for this week’s State championship.

Surratt was recognized for catching seven passes for 225 yards and five touchdowns in Lincolnton’s 48-0 win over Bunker Hill.

He has already committed to play football at Harvard.

Kings Mountain High sophomore Natalie Lutz was selected NCHSAA female player of the week last week.

putts go in, she could have easily had a top five finish,” Moss said. “She putted the ball well on her long putts, but on a few holes she had trouble finishing on the three to five foot putts.”

Lutz improved her score from last year’s regional, when she shot an 87. She is playing in her second state championship.

Regional medalist was Hailey Pendleton of Sun Valley, who shot a 71.

Parents meeting Thursday, 6 p.m.

Kings Mountain native Shane Short has been named the new head wrestling coach at Kings Mountain High School and has called for a meeting of all prospective players and their parents for Thursday at 6 p.m. at the KMHS mini gym.

As a championship wrestler for the Mountaineers in his day as a 130 and 135-pounder, the 2001 KMHS graduate wants to see many of his players as well as the team compete for championships.

He will be assisted by Kenny Bridges, who was his mentor his senior year, Harley Price and Steale Barber.

“The program meant a lot to me when I was in high school,” said Short, the son of another former Mountaineer champion, Preston Short, and grandson of the late Bob Short, who gave many summers during his lifetime as a coach in the Kings Mountain summer baseball leagues.

“I came through the program,” Short said, “and I am honored to be named head coach and have these great coaches helping me.”

Short expects the Mountaineers to be highly successful.

“We have four or five wrestlers that have the potential to make a deep run and maybe even win some championships,” he noted.

“We also have a lot of young players. When you have senior leadership and good young freshmen and sophomores you have the potential to be successful.”

Shane Short has been named the new head wrestling coach at Kings Mountain High School.

Short believes in scheduling tough teams for tournaments and individual matches in the early season in order to be stronger when the post-season begins.

The Mountaineers open November 15 at Cherryville. Between regular season matches and five tournaments, they should have 30 matches under their belt before the post-season.

“I believe, just as I was coached by Dave Farquharson and Kenny Bridges, that you seek out the toughest competition,” he said.

“You don’t want to wait until late in the year.”

Many of the competition in regular season matches include perennial state champions such as Fred T. Foard, Hunter Huss, East Henderson, West Henderson and Rock Hill, SC. Short, who has been one of the defensive coaches on a very successful KMHS JV football team the past two years, is returning the favor to his high school mentor Kenny Bridges.

“He asked me a couple years back if I would help him out with the JV team,” Short said. “I agreed, because I just have a passion for kids. He’s the one that

got me into coaching and I’m happy he is helping me.”

Short was a three-sport athlete from 1997-2001 at KMHS. He played safety on Ron Massey’s 1998 football team that played for the state 3A championship. He also played baseball and wrestled.

He has the knowledge and the experience to work with the Mountaineers on the mat. During his high school career, he was a three-time Southwestern Conference champion and the 2000 SWC Most Outstanding Wrestler. He was a two-time Western North Carolina Regional champion and three-time 3A state championship qualifier.

After high school Short served four years in the US Navy where he was a member of the Hampton Roads Military Wrestling Club.

He competed with the AllNavy Regional Wrestling Program and participated in the Armed Forces Wrestling Championship.

After his military career, Short attended Limestone College where he earned his Bachelors of Arts in Liberal Studies. He later earned his Masters degree in Business Administration from Liberty University. He now teaches at Kings Mountain Middle School.

Coach Short resides in Kings Mountain with his wife, Stephanie, and children Shaleigh, 15, Koby, 14, Makayla, 11, and Kennedy, 2.

Kings Mountain’s Christopher Brittain (4) gets around a Chase defender for one of his three long touchdown receptions in Thursday’s win at KMHS.

JVs bomb Chase 52-0 in final home game that got them in gear. Chase was threatening to score on the game’s opening possession, but KM’s Chuckie Osborne intercepted a pass at the KM 10 yard line and returned it to the Chase 46.

Three plays later, Melton hit Brittain with a pass in the right flat. Brittain hooked around his defender and rambled 40 yards for a touchdown. Melton threw to Bryce Fisher for a two-point conversion and an 8-0 lead.

After Chase went three and out, the Mountaineers marched 67 yards to go up 14-0. They faced fourth and 12 at the Chase 22, but Harmon threw a screen pass to Holden Turner and he sped down the home sideline for a touchdown.

The home side could sense the Mountaineers were on their way to victory.

After another Chase three and out, Harmon threw a short pass to Brittain and he split the Chase defense for an 81-yard touchdown, and also caught the two-point conversion pass to run the score to 22-0.

Following a punt, the Mountaineers drove 75 yards and, once again, it was Melton to Brittain for

Mounties top Chase, off this week From Page 1B Following a Chase fumble at its own 11, the Mountaineers couldn’t move the ball and had to settle for a 24-yard Michael Randall field goal. Although the game would be close throughout, the Mountaineers didn’t relinquish that lead.

Darian McClain, who would finish with his season high 137 yards rushing, scored from five yards out with 7.9 seconds left in the first quarter and Kavin Mosley made a remarkable catch of a tipped pass for a 17-0 halftime lead.

Chase’s only points came in the third period after Xavier Williams picked up a KM fumble and returned it 45 yards to the KM 13. Facing fourth and six from the 10 with 7:54 on the clock, the Trojans’ Preston Walker booted a 26-yard field goal to cut the margin to 17-3.

Kings Mountain missed another golden scoring opportunity when they drove to the Chase 14 late in the third quarter, but a 37-yard field goal attempt went wide.

Clain broke several tackles on a 55-yard touchdown run down the Kings Mountain sidelines.

“Offensively, we moved the ball between the twenties,” said Lloyd. “But fumbles hurt us and we had a lot of missed assignments.

We played hard, but we left some points out there.

“We were tickled to get our fourth win in a row,” he added. “We put ourselves into position to get one of the top 3A seeds. With a bye week coming up it will give us a chance to get rejuvenated.”

Lloyd said practice sessions won’t be as time-consuming as usual. Some players who are “nicked up” will have a chance to heal and be at full strength for the East Burke game and the playoffs.

“We’ll work on some timing and fundamentals and on correcting those mistakes,” he said. “We’ll get healed up to practice next week for East Burke.

It will be Senior Night and we want to be ready to play. With a bye week this week, and then another one the week after East Burke, we’re going to have to do something to stay sharp.

We ought to be healthy and fresh come playoff time.”

KM kickers edge East Rutherford Kings Mountain swept East Rutherford in SMAC soccer action Wednesday in Forest City, with the varsity posting its 17th win, 2-1, to tie the school record for a single season.

The JVs continued their four- game winning streak with a 3-0 victory as Marc Atilano score twice and Leighton Harris once.

The match began with East nearly scoring in the first minute of play if it weren’t for Mountaineer keeper John Harris IV smothering a ball at the feet of an East attacker inside the six yard box.

From that point, the visitors put on a clinic with great build ups down the left and right flanks. The goal chances were frequent and many from point blank range but the visitors were denied getting on the scoreboard time after time. The East Rutherford keeper, Manny Pimentel, had several key saves during the first 20 minutes of play.

In the 21st minute, Luke Rikard took a super pass from the outside right

midfielder, Josh Scism, and finally beat the East keeper for a 1-0 advantage. Although the Mountaineers would press the East goal on several other opportunities, they could not find the net again before halftime.

The Mountaineers came out strong to start the second half as Josue Molina just put one over the crossbar minutes into the second period. Josh Scism had a golden chance that showcased the quickness of East keeper Manny Pementel once more. Nolan Raby had a super chance only to see his header sail just wide.

The Mountaineers finally penetrated the East defense in the 71st minute of play as defender Will Robinson got the second ball off a Mason Nguyen direct kick. Robinson slid the ball past the East keeper for the second goal of the match.

The Cavaliers would not back down on the night they honored their senior class and put in their only goal of the match with 36 seconds left in the match.

STATE BOUND

KM’s Lutz, Frye win Western Regional tennis, go to Burlington this week for state tourney Kings Mountain’s sensational tennis duo of sophomore Natalie Lutz and freshman Madelynn Frye won the Western Regional 3A championship Friday and Saturday and will go after the state championship this Friday and Saturday in Burlington.

The Mountaineer duo had little trouble in the regional, winning all four of their matches in straight sets.

They won their opening match over Mae Anna Norris and Allie Fisher of Pisgah 6-2, 6-0. They swept Sophie Robinson and Sophie Swift of North Buncombe in the second

round 6-0, 6-0 and whipped Mary Elaine Bridges and Emily Mosso of West Henderson 6-1, 6-0 in the semi-finals.

In the championship match, Lutz and Frye defeated Meredith Anderson and Danielle Harris of Enka 6-2, 6-2.

Three other KMHS players qualified for the Regional but won’t be going on to the state tournament.

MC Johnson lost her opening singles match to the two-time reigning state champion Arienne Hayes of Asheville, 6-0, 6-1.

“MC put up a valiant effort,” noted KM Coach Rick Hender-

son. “MC just wouldn’t back down but the top player in the state was just overpowering and eventually wore down Johnson.

I praised MC for her efforts.

Since the singles was played at Asheville and the doubles at Enka, I stayed at Enka to support our two doubles teams and MC’s mom had shared how MC fought for each and every point. She stated that most of the coaches and numerous fans were pulling for MC to pull out an upset.”

Carrigan Leatherman and Kassie Johnson won their opening doubles match against Lauren Hamrick and Lindsey

McFarland of St. Stephens, 1-6, 6-0, 6-4. The KM duo lost in the second round to Mary Elaine Bridges and Emily Mosso of West Henderson 6-3, 3-6, 7-5.

“This was a hard fought match during very strong wind conditions as well as being cold,” Henderson said. “I was very proud of both Leatherman and Johnson as they fought back to win the match. Due to wet conditions and the wind later that afternoon we decided to head to Hendersonville to play indoors. Both Leatherman and Johnson were scheduled to play the team from West Henderson and the match turned

into a three-setter with the Mountaineers leading the third and final decisive set by 5-4 (30-15). But, unfortunately, the West Henderson team battled back and won the last set.

“Natalie and Madison took on the same West Henderson team in the semifinals that defeated Leatherman and Johnson and beat them 6-2, 6-0. In the championship match they didn’t let up and breezed through the match. It’s looking like Natalie and Madelynn will be one of the heavy favorites to contend for the state championship.”

Lutz and Frye are undefeated for the season in doubles.

Soccer blanks Burns, sets record Kings Mountain High’s soccer team set a school record with its 18th win in Monday night’s 9-0 victory over Burns at Gamble Stadium.

The Mountaineers jumped on the Bulldogs early and often.

Luke Rikard took a super pass from Chase Yow and scored off a corner kick with 1:30 gone in the game.

Josh Scism took a backup ball from Josue Molina less than a minute later and got it past a diving keeper for a 2-0 advantage.

Yow then drove a 12yard shot through a maze of Bulldog defenders at the 12th minute mark, again off a Molina pass.

In the 20th minute, Yow made it 4-0, this time off an assist from Nolan Raby.

Rikard scored his second goal at the 24 minute mark off an assist from Molina.

The final goal of the first half came from Will Robinson as he slid a ball inside the bacf post off a long throw-in from Brandon

Even though ACL injuries cost them their senior season of football in what would have been a record-breaking season for both, quarterback Darren Burns, left, and wide receiver Jake Merchant are on the sideline every week supporting their teammates. Both should be healed and ready for their freshman year of college next fall.

Quevedo-Johns.

Richard Fernandez started in goal and helped to shutout the visitors. John Harris IV and Hunter Champion also spent time in goal.

Rikard got his third goal seven minutes into the second half off a throw in from Quevedo-Johns.

Robinson added his second goal off a super corner kick from Mason Nguyen.

The final goal was given

to Dane Skeith as he threw the ball inside the six yard box and a Burns defender inadvertently headed the ball into his own goal.

KM’s 18th victory broke last year’s record of 17. Be-

fore that, the school record was 15.

Save A Life - Be A Kidney Donor Many people who need transplants of organs cannot get them because of shortage of donations. Of the 123,000 Americans currently on the waiting list for a lifesaving organ transplant, more than 101,000 need a kidney but only 17,000 people receive one each year. Every day 12 people die waiting for a kidney. Organ and tissue donation helps others by giving them a second chance at life. To learn more go to www.CarolinasHealthCare.org/Transplant-Surgery.

Dr. Tim Hendrick, Pastor of Patterson Grove Baptist Church, has been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. To hear his story go to www.PattersonGroveBaptist.org and view Tim’s video.
