For 3 KMHS Seniors

Service dogs are Lifelines The trio of service dogs on the campus of Kings Mountain High School are a lifeline for seniors Brianna Rochford, Mackenzie Ramsey and Tyler Withers. First and foremost for the dogs are meeting the needs of their young masters and then air, water and food – in that order. Mackenzie Ramsey suffered her first epileptic seizure in class last April. Violet, a beautiful white Lab, is her constant companion, day and night. Violet sleeps with her and if there’s trouble she whines. Brianna Rochford chose the name Claddagh for her beautiful black Lab because the name means love, friendship and loyalty and he is all those attributes. Brianna was diagnosed with Type I diabetes at age seven and Claddagh has saved her life more than once. When her blood sugar gets out of range, the dog whines and if asleep he awakens her with his paws on her back. “He’s

always a sniffer,’’ says Ramsey. Tyler Withers, diagnosed with diabetes Oct. 2, 2007, became life-long buddies with Bingo April 22, 2012. Bingo, a beautiful black Lab, got his name because it means ‘on the spot’ and that’s Bingo. “He’s saved my life more than once too, whining and using his paw to wake me up,’’ said T yler. Bingo doesn’t go to school every day. He protects his master from home most of the time through his sense of smell, alerts Withers’ Mom and she calls the high school. Tyler says the dog can alert him to any changes five miles away from his classroom. All three seniors can tell stories of how they cope beautifully with challenges that began for them at a young age and how they are excelling in high school and planning for college. Mackenzie is the daughter of Sean and Stephanie Ramsey. She plays soccer

Prayers for the community and nation will feature the service which will also include special music. “You are invited to be part of this time of prayer as we join fellow citizens across America in crying out for God’s help, direction, healing and unity upon our beloved nation,’’ said Rev. Ron Caulder, pastor of Eastside Baptist Church and Ministerial Association President.

and has signed with Spartanburg Methodist College to play soccer and will major in Early Education. She wants to teach first grade. At KMHS she has also been active in the Art Club and FCA. Brianna Rochford, daughter of Jim and Jacquie Rochford, plans to attend Wingate University and major in Biology and Pre-Medicine. Cheerleader two years and a soccer player last year, she is active in Art, Interact and Beta Clubs at KMHS and is a champion Irish dancer at Connick School of Irish Dance in Charlotte. She performed solo dance as a competition in the Irish Nationals. She is a Youth Ambassador for the American Diabetes Association. Brianna’s dog became her best friend when she was in the 7th grade.

construction groups to firm up the project budget and estimates have come in significantly higher for the construction of a new building, as proposed. Albemarle officials have decided to expand the existing building, changing the new jobs expected from 170 to 80; changing the capital investments from $10.5 million to $8.4 million; and changing the average wage of the jobs expected from $78,000 to $71,000. City Manager Marilyn Sellers at last Tuesday’s meeting of city council recommended the approval of the incentive agreement not only for the investment and future property tax revenue but also for the job creation, increase in sales tax revenue and increased purchases of local goods and services. Kristin H. Reese, Executive Director of Cleveland County

Economic Development Partnership, recommended that the board of commissioners approve the proposed modifications to Albemarle Corporation’s existing incentive contract at the recent commissioner’s meeting in Shelby. Reese said the economic impact for Cleveland County means new tax revenue for Cleveland County and the City of Kings Mountain, new diverse jobs such as engineering, research and development, project management, health and safety, IT, sales, etc. and high paying jobs, average wage of $71,000 substantially higher than Cleveland County’s average manufacturing wage of $53,400. She said indirect benefits to the local economy are projected with Albemarle’s expansion project, as the company utilizes local vendors and suppliers and local payrolls increase.

Rock House Open May 12th By LORETTA COZART The Brigade of Friends of the Kings Mountain National Military Park announced the Henry Howser House will be open to the public on Saturday, May 12th from 11 am until 4 pm. This 1803 stone dwelling is only open to the public only two times each year. This is a wonderful opportunity for the public to explore the house and grounds. The grounds are unique because they have tiers for farming, which wasn’t a common feature in farms of that day. The stone house was built by a Revolutionary War veteran, stonemason, and distiller Henry Howser, Sr. The house’s thick stone walls and stonework convey prosperity and affluence at a time when most were living in log houses. The home remained in the Howser family for generations and was one of the more prosperous farms in the region. It is now owned by the Kings Mountain National Military Park. The Brigade of Friends will host the open house. Members dress in period clothing and help tell the story of the

What You Need to Know About Reverse Mortgages Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about reverse mortgages for retirees? My wife and I are contemplating getting one but want to make sure we know what we’re getting into. Running Short Dear Running, For retirees who own their home and want to stay living there, but could use some extra cash, a reverse mortgage is a viable financial tool, but there’s a lot to know and consider to be sure it’s a good option for you. Let’s start with the basics. A reverse mortgage is a unique type of loan that allows older homeowners to borrow money against the equity in their house (or condo) that doesn’t have to be repaid until the homeowner dies, sells the house or moves out for at least 12 months. At that point, you or your heirs will have to pay back the loan plus accrued interest and fees, but you will never owe more than the value of your home. It’s also important to understand that

with a reverse mortgage, you, not the bank, own the house, so you’re still required to pay your property taxes and homeowners insurance. Not paying them can result in foreclosure. To be eligible, you must be 62 years of age or older, own your own home (or owe only a small balance) and currently be living there. You will also need to undergo a financial assessment to determine whether you can afford to continue paying your property taxes and insurance. Depending on your financial situation, you may be required to put part of your loan into an escrow account to pay future bills. If the financial assessment finds that you cannot pay your insurance and taxes and have enough cash left to live on, you’ll be denied. Loan Details Around 95 percent of all reverse mortgages offered today are Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM), which are FHA insured and offered through private mortgage lenders and banks. HECM’s also have home value limits that vary by county, but cannot

exceed $679,650. How much you can actually get through a reverse mortgage depends on your age (the older you are the more you can get), your home’s value and the prevailing interest rates. Generally, most people can borrow somewhere between 50 and 65 percent of the home’s value. To estimate how much you can borrow, use the reverse mortgage calculator at ReverseMortgage.org. You also need to know that reverse mortgages have recently become more expensive with a number of fees, including: a 2 percent lender origination fee for the first $200,000 of the home’s value and 1 percent of the remaining value, with a cap of $6,000; an upfront 2 percent mortgage insurance premium (MIP) fee on the maximum loan amount, plus an annual MIP fee that’s equal to 0.5 percent of the outstanding loan balance; along with an appraisal fee, closing costs and other miscellaneous expenses. Most fees can be deducted for the loan amount to reduce your out-of-pocket cost at closing.

To receive your money, you can opt for a lump sum, a line of credit, regular monthly checks or a combination of these. More Information To learn more, read the National Council on Aging’s online booklet “Use Your Home to Stay at Home” at NCOA.org/home-equity. And see the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association self-evaluation checklist at ReverseMortgage.org/consumerguides. Also note that because reverse mortgages are complex loans, all borrowers are required to get face-to-face or telephone counseling through a HUD approved independent counseling agency before taking one out. Most agencies typically charge around $125. To locate one near you, visit Go.usa.gov/ v2H, or call 800-569-4287. 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.

The Fruit of the Spirit (5 Part Series) Part one of five “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, DR. JONATHAN faithM. BUNDON fulness, Worship Pastor g e n t l e - First Baptist Church ness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23 What is your favorite fruit? Perhaps your favorite is in season like strawberries, and you are consuming all you can. Maybe your favorite fruit is not yet ripe or in season. For

Page 5A

the next five weeks, we will discuss a different kind of fruit, the fruit of the Spirit. Though different, there are many parallels between the spiritual fruit and the delicious fruit we enjoy on a spring day. Let us look at the passage of scripture together. First, notice the word “fruit” is singular, not “fruits” plural. What can we conclude? Paul rightly asserts there is only one spiritual fruit which shows itself in different ways. Why did Paul list love first? Love is first because love is a prerequisite for the other attributes. Everything grows and matures out of this love of the Spirit. All of the other qualities are evidence of the fruit of the Spirit. Think about it. Without love, there is no joy, peace, patience, etc.

It is important to note, the love Paul refers to is not a worldly love, but a love that comes from God. What kind of love does it take to forgive your enemies? Supernatural love. Hence, we must have Christ in us and allow the Holy Spirit to guide us if we expect our fruit to mature. We cannot hope to love others as Christ loves if Christ is not in us. Furthermore, God desires a continuous relationship with us. In doing so, we can grow, mature, and live out the fruit of the Spirit. For we must see, we can only work out what the Spirit works in. God’s relationship and connection with us directly affects the growth of the fruit. Dr. Calvin Miller states, “Without God’s love (alive and active in us), we can never live

up to our God-given potential. Too many believers are rendered ineffective because they refuse to let God’s love work through their lives. They can’t forgive because they can’t love. They can’t experience peace because they can’t love.” If you are in Christ, the Holy Spirit lives in you and the fruit of the Spirit lives in you. You must, however, do what God wants you to do if you are to see the fruit of the Spirit reach maturity in you. The fruit of the Spirit is God’s gift to all of us. For the remainder of the week, read, pray, and study what it means to love like Christ. In doing so, you and I will be better equipped to love others actively.

Statistics point out that women will control two-thirds of the nation’s wealth by 2030 and nine of 10 women at some point in their lifetime will be the sole financial decision maker for their households. Amy loves the challenges, but she says you must be thick skinned and it can be very stressful. She recommends the profession, but she warns you must be able to handle rejection. To help people grow their wealth and protect it against stock market failures is a noble profession and heartwarming when people put their trust in you, she says. Passionate about her profession, she hopes that more women will become financial advisors and planners because women live longer, they spend more time in the work force and women in the field are great listeners and demonstrate they care. A graduate of RS Central High School, she

attended Isothermal College and studied financial planning at American College in Bryn Maur, Pa. She began her career as a financial advisor at Met Life in Shelby. Both Amy and her husband grew up in Rutherford County and their families lived about five miles apart. They had never met until Fireman Harmon came to Kings Mountain to work at the fire department. The Harmons attend Christ Worship Center. Their blended family of four children: Josh Settlemyre of Gastonia, 22, is a graduate and music major at Gardner Webb University and teaches school in Charlotte; Lyndsay Byars, 16, is a student at Kings Mountain High School; Wendy Harmon, 22, a graduate of Gardener-Webb University and earned her master’s degree at Western Carolina University, is attending Veterinary School at the University of Tennessee and Katie Harmon, 20, is a dance major at UNC at Charlotte. Office hours for the new business are Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m.-6 p.m. Mrs. Harmon plans to add at least one more person to her staff in future months. The Harmons like calling Kings Mountain home.

Greg Lloyd, winningest football coach, to be inducted into KM Hall of Fame (Seventh in an eight-part series on the 2018 Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame inductees. The dinner and ceremony will be held Sat., May 12 at 6 p.m. at Central United Methodist Church. Tickets are $15 and are available at Paul Ingram’s Barber Shop in downtown Kings Mountain, at Kings Mountain High School and from members of the Hall of Fame committee. You are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance because it could be a sellout). Kings Mountain High School has been playing football for 95 years and has had only nine teams finish a season with 10 or more wins. Three of those nine were in the last 11 years under current head coach Greg Lloyd. With 78 career wins at KMHS, including two conference championships and two appearances in the Western NC championship game, Lloyd now joins an elite class of coaches and athletes in the Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame. He is one of eight athletes and coaches with ties to greater Kings Mountain athletics to be honored on Saturday, May 12 at 6 p.m. at Central United Methodist Church. Lloyd is a Cleveland County native and a former player and coach at Crest High School. He began his head coaching career in 2005 at East Gaston High School where he coached the Warriors to the Big South 3A/4A Conference championship and three rounds in the state playoffs in 2006. The next season he moved to Kings Mountain and began rebuilding the Mountaineer program. In 2008 he took his Mountaineers to the Western Regional championship game, and he did it again in 2015. Prior to becoming a head coach, though, he learned a lot of his coaching philosophy from his high school coach, Mike Stewart, at Crest. “I played baseball and football under Coach Stewart,” he noted. “He was a great influence on me. I played four years of baseball and three of varsity football under him.” A defensive back and slot receiver in football, Lloyd set a school record with eight interceptions his senior year. That mark stood for 12 seasons. In baseball, he was an All-Conference outfielder and was also All-Charlotte Observer and the Conference Player of the Year in 1992. He went on to play four years

Coach Greg Lloyd calls a play from the sidelines. at Gardner-Webb University under Coach Clyde Miller. He began coaching football at Crest under Coach Stewart in 1995 and stayed there through the 2004 season. “I was 22 years old when I started coaching and I’ve coached every fall season since,” he noted. “I was lucky to be a part of some good teams there for 10 years. We won three state championships and numerous conference championships.” Lloyd was the offensive coordinator on the Chargers’ back-to-back state championship teams in 2003 and 2004. The 2000 offense was the top scoring 4A team in the state and the 2001 team was the top 3A scoring team in the state. “In 2003 and 2004 we had really good players and it was a great experience,” he noted. Some of those players went on to star in the collegiate and professional level, including Brandon Spikes, Shamar Finney, Brandon Boone, Maurice Gullatte, Josh Brown, and Philip Shaw. “We always had great talent at the skill positions and a lot of really good offensive linemen, including Dustin Morehead (a former KMHS assistant coach under Lloyd and now KMHS assistant principal). We always had good size and good athletes. It was a good time to be there.” While in the Tri-County 4A Conference, the Chargers had some big rivalry games with Independence and Coach Tommy Knotts, who turned out numerous state championship teams there and is now doing the same thing at Dutch Fork, SC. “In 2000 right before Independence went on their 105game winning streak, we beat them 34-31 at Crest,” Lloyd

Coach Lloyd and his mother Heidi celebrate a big victory.

Coach Lloyd runs the offense through practice. recalled. “Chris Leak was their quarterback. He was in the tenth grade then. He went on to play at Florida. That was an exciting time for us.” Lloyd took the East Gaston head coaching job in 2005 and coached the Warriors to their best season ever in 2006. That championship was just the third in the school’s history. “That season really stands out,” he noted. “It will always be one of my favorite teams. We won the Big South Conference and beat South Point who was our major rival. I don’t think East Gaston has beaten South Point since. We went three rounds in the 4A State playoffs that year. It was a really good team.” When the Kings Mountain job came open in 2007, Lloyd was eager to get the chance to get back to Cleveland County football which is recognized by many as the best football in the state. “Being able to come to Kings Mountain was a blessing for me,” he said. “We’ve had some great experiences

here. All of our players and coaches do a great job. I want to give a special shout out to Kevin Cruise who has been with me every year since I started as a head coach. “I owe a big thank you to a lot of people for the success we’ve had here, starting with the people who work with the youth. They do an excellent job of developing players early. We’ve had some really good years here and the last four years we’ve had a lot of success.” Almost every year since Lloyd has been in KM, either an individual or the team – and sometimes both – broke records. “I am proud of the records we’ve been able to break,” he said. “I am thankful for all the folks I’ve been around here and we’re looking for a lot more success in the future, “I have a lot of special memories at Kings Mountain,” he continued. “The one that comes to mind first was in 2008 when we had a deep run in the playoffs. We shutout Shelby 21-0 and that was

Coach Lloyd and his son Jake are happy after a big Mountaineer victory. the springboard for our run to the conference championship. “The triple overtime win over Mooresville and the 56-55 win over Anson County in the state playoffs were two of the most exciting games I’ve ever been a part of. “And, then in 2016 we stopped Crest’s long winning streak against us by scoring two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. And then we turned around this past year and beat them again for the conference championship. Both of those wins came on their home field, which was very exciting. “A few years back we went up to Freedom. We were the eighth seed and they were the number one seed and had an Alabama commit who was their all-time leading rusher and one of the top running back prospects in the nation. Our defensive coaches and players did an excellent job of shutting him down and we

beat them. “We’ve had a lot of good memories and games but we look for even more in the future,” he said. “This program is going in the right direction thanks to our players and coaches, and also the community. “The Touchdown Club has been here since I’ve been here and it’s been a major factor in our improvement. Thanks to them we’re in the process of renovating our weight room and it’s an exciting thing for our athletes and coaches. It’s going to be a big boost to our entire athletic program.” Lloyd said he is humbled to be selected for the Hall of Fame. “There are many great coaches, players and sports figures that are in there,” he said. “I am honored to go in with them. I am so thankful to be in Kings Mountain and I will cherish this for the rest of my life.”

George and Aundra Adams

George Adams remembers the ABA.

KM basketball legend George Adams attends ABA’s 50th anniversary event Compact, Kings Mountain and Gardner-Webb basketball fans now in their golden years will never forget the Mountaineers’ first superstar George Adams. And Adams, KM High’s first All-American basketball player and a three-year All-American at Gardner Webb, will never forget the American Basketball Association. Youngsters today may have never heard of the ABA, but for a brief time in the 1960s and 1970s it was an exciting brand of basketball with superstars that rivaled those in the much longer established NBA. Adams was fresh out of Gardner-Webb when he signed with the San Diego Conquistadors in 1972. He remained with them until the league folded in 1976. Adams, his wife Aundra and some of his children and grandchildren attended the recent 50-year anniversary of the ABA in Indianapolis. Over 200 former ABA players attended. Others have passed away, and still others were not able to attend.

Adams was able to relive some memories with legends like Dr. J Julius Irving, Rick Barry, Artis Gilmore, George “Ice Man” Gervin, Dan Issel, and others. Every former player and coach in attendance stood in a long line for hours signing autographs for hundreds of fans that attended the event in the Bankers Life Fieldhouse. “It was so amazing,” said Adams. Adams recalled the night when the ABA folded in 1976. “We were flying home from a game in New York,” he noted. “The pilot come on the intercom and said ‘when we land in San Diego you won’t have a job. The ABA has folded.’” It was heartbreaking then, but it will never erase the great memories. And, the event in Indianapolis helped Adams relive a lot of those good times. “This was the first time I have seen a lot of these people since then,” he noted. “It was in March 1976. I had graduated Gardner-Webb in 1972, so I spent the next

five years with the San Diego Conquistadors playing with guys like Larry Miller, Ollie Taylor, Chuck Williams and Steve Johnson. We were in New York playing Dr. J and the Virginia Squires before we got on the plane and got the news.” Adams was drafted out of Gardner-Webb in the third round by the world champion Milwaukee Bucks. “They had a championship team intact with guys like Lucius Allen, Kareem Abdul Jabbar and many others,” Adams recalled. “It would have been hard to crack that lineup. I knew if I signed with them my time would be limited.” The San Diego coach then was the legendary KC Jones, who had seen Adams play in the NAIA championship series in Hutchison, KS. “He offered me a little more money than Milwaukee so I signed with them,” Adams said. “During my time there I was associated with a lot of coaches who were legends, like KC Jones and Wilt Chamberlain. We didn’t win a championship

there but when I left Gardner-Webb my idol was always Kareem Abdul Jabbar. He was Lew Alcindor then, and I got to meet him. The ABA had some very good players, some that had dated back to the beginning.” Adams called the recent reunion one of the highlights of his life. “The best thing was seeing the good ones who are still with us,” he said. “I made a lot of friendships along the way and being able to be there with my family was pretty amazing.” Adams and his wife Aundra have four children and eight grandchildren. Their youngest grandchild, 9-yearold T.J. Biggers, could be following in George’s footsteps. “He loves basketball,” George said. “We brought him an ABA ball back. He attended the Gardner-Webb basketball camp last year and really loves the game. He says he’s going to play there someday.” Adams said the signing ceremony was tiring, but amazing. “There were a lot of peo-

lineman from Crest. Center Cooper Short and linebacker Darian McClain represented the Mountaineers in last year’s game. KM’s Greg Lloyd was head coach of the West team. Other Mountaineers that have played in the EastWest game were George Harris in 1956, John McGinnis in 1957, Fred Dixon in 1964, Hubert McGinnis in 1965, Mark George in 1973, Kevin Mack in 1980, Edwin Sherer in 1986, Frank Hopper and Julius Curry in 1999, and Cedric Thompson in 2011. Other KM coaches to participate in the game were Bill Bates in 1967 and Dennis Hicks in 1988. Todd Willert of East Forsyth will be head coach

George McGinnis is in very poor health. He had to be assisted onto the stage. “Seeing Artis (Gilmore) after all these years was great. He is a very close and dear friend of mine. He is in the NBA Hall of Fame. He’s a good man and is doing well. He lives in Jacksonville, Florida.” Adams and Gilmore were teammates at GWU before Gilmore transferred to Jacksonville University, and they married cousins. Adams was one of the original inductees into the Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame along with John Henry Moss, Jake Early and Kevin Mack; was the first person inducted into the Gardner-Webb University Hall of Fame and is in the Cleveland County Hall of Fame. “After coming up like I did, basketball was one of the greatest things in my life,” he said. “The Good Lord enabled me to start it all right here in Kings Mountain. I still love basketball and I still love Kings Mountain. I am blessed.”

Jerdon Pressley in East-West game Kings Mountain High defensive lineman Jerdon Pressley has been selected to play for the West AllStars in the annual North Carolina High School Coaches East-West game July 18 at Greensboro’s Bob Jamieson Stadium. Pressley was one of the leading tacklers on last year’s Mountaineer eleven that won the Big South 3A Conference and went three rounds in the state 3A playoffs. The Mountaineers finished 12-2 overall with both losses coming in overtime. Three other Cleveland County players will also play for the West all-stars. They are quarterback Malik Surratt and defensive back Josh Smith of Shelby and Max Cudd, an offensive

ple there,” he said. “There were so many people we stood in line for hours. We formed a long line and people just went down the line getting hundreds of people to sign. There were over 200 former players there. “Rick Barry stayed so busy but we did get a chance to talk to him. He always shot his free throws under handed and says he can still make nine out of ten. His son, Kenyon Barry, plays for the University of Georgia and shoots them underhand too.” All those scoring and rebounding records Adams set at KMHS and GWU, and the championships both teams won during his heyday will always be special but this reunion ranks right up there with them as one of the highlights of his life. “I’m at that point in my life that just being able to be there after all these years and seeing so many others is very special,” he said. “Just being able to be there with my family was my greatest thrill. A lot of the players have some health problems and some of them are no longer with us.

Defensive lineman Jerdon Pressley will represent Kings Mountain in this year’s East-West all-star game in Greensboro. of the West team. Assistants are Jasson Adkins of East Wilkes, Mason Fowler of Olympic, Jeff Frady of Enka, Chris Miller of Southern Alamance and Lance Ware of Shelby.

University of Kentucky commit Alex Goff of Kings Mountain is the Big South 3A Conference individual golf champion for 2018.

The final Big South 3A Conference golf match of the season was rained out last week but nothing that could have happened in that final match would have kept Mountaineer senior Alex Goff from being the 2018 Big South Player of the Year. Goff finished the season with a 411 score in six matches. He was 31 strokes ahead of his teammate Tyler Withers, who had a season’s score of 442. Brady Waters of the Mountaineers finished 13th overall with a score of 504 and joined Goff and Withers on the All-Big South team.

Crest won the team championship with a total score of 2,191 and Kings Mountain was second with a 2,233 score. Arik Lemmons of Crest was voted BSC Coach of the Year. Forestview finished third with a 2,322 score, followed by Stuart Cramer 2,381, North Gaston 2,607 and Burns 2,769. Kings Mountain, Crest and Forestview were competing in the 3A Western Regional Monday at River Bend Golf Club. The top teams and individuals there will advance to the state 3A tournament.

McClain brothers in Marine boxing Hall of Fame When James McClain was a youngster boxing for the Gastonia Police Athletic League, he won a Golden Gloves tournament in Charlotte and saw Leon Spinks boxing with the U.S. Marines. “For a 12-year-old I got all excited,” McClain said. “I said to him, when I grow up I’m going into the Marines and be just like you. He asked me if I was sure about that. I said, yeah, because ya’ll bad.” After graduating Kings Mountain High School in 1980, he joined the Marines and had a spectacular career that led to his recent induction into the Marine Boxing Hall of Fame at Camp Lejeune. McClain’s brother, Johnny, was inducted into the Hall of Fame the same night, along with Spinks. Johnny started boxing about six months after James. The brothers recalled that Jack Stewart of Bessemer City, a PAL coach, would drive his pickup truck through Kings Mountain and fill up the back with anyone interested in boxing. “I just jumped in the back of the truck one day and that’s how it started,” James said. Johnny was already boxing for the Marines when James joined. “I spent 22 years in the Marines,” James recalled. “I got hurt and had to return home. I thank God for it. I wanted to do 30 years and I was pushing for the 1984 Olympics but was injured and fell short.” Johnny got the call from the Hall of Fame first and called James to tell him about it.

“I was really excited for him and told him I was going with him to the induction ceremony because I knew he had earned it,” James said. “A couple days later I got the call. I called him and said ‘I’m going with you. They’re going to induct me, too.’ They told me that we both represented the Marines well and they wanted to put is in at the same time.” James and Johnny had amateur records of 69-14 and 90-18, respectively, and James also had some pro fights. Both agree a lot of the credit goes to their PAL coaches, Stewart and Dean Huffstickler. “They deserve the credit for helping two country boys from Kings Mountain,” James said. “Boxing is a year-long sport and it helps you stay out of trouble. They got us prepared and the Marines took us to another level. “When we were at Gastonia we won numerous team trophies under the tutelage of Stewart and Huffstickler,” James said. “As many team trophies and championships that we won those two should be in the Hall of Fame. They helped so many people. There were so many kids that they took off the streets. They kept us busy. We fought all over North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee. I really enjoyed it.” The Marine boxers made such an impact on Johnny that he joined the Marines 11 days after graduating KMHS in 1976. “I boxed with the PAL until I joined the Marines at age 18,” he recalled. “Once

Johnny (left) and James McClain (right) with pro boxing legend Leon Spinks at recent U.S. Marines Boxing Hall of Fame induction. I finished boot camp I was sent to Camp Lejeune and they had boxing there. I made the team in 1979.” He left the Marines in 1982 and went to New York and boxed for 2 ½ years. He injured his hands in 1983 in Canada in a fight against Bob Harvey. “It happened in the fifth round and I boxed five rounds with my left hand only,” he recalled. “I had eight more fights after that. I fought the Italian champion in 1984. Three years later he won the super middleweight championship.” Johnny rejoined the Marines in 1984 and coached boxing at Cherry Point. He

later coached the Marine boxers in Okinawa, Japan, and then was reassigned to Camp Pendleton. He finished his 21-year Marine career with two years in the Marine Reserves. “All of that time was pretty much boxing for me,” he said. The McClain brothers grew up on Cherryville Road. Johnny now lives in Charlotte and James in Gastonia but they still attend Ebenezer Baptist Church in Kings Mountain. Both say they are blessed to be in the Hall of Fame. “It’s very exciting,” said Johnny. “Actually, it’s the highlight of my career be-

cause it was earned. Everything about the Marines Corps is earned. Nothing is given. To be going into a Hall of Fame that includes people like Ken Norton, Leon Spinks and Gene Tunney is definitely an honor.” “Being inducted into the Hall of Fame is great,” added James. “It’s something that’s earned. It’s not given to you. Just like being in the Marines, you have to earn it. It was definitely the highlight of my career. “When I graduated Kings Mountain High in 1980, my brother was already in there. I knew that’s what I wanted to do and I had a good career. I trav-

eled all over the world and enjoyed it. If I had it to do over I’d do it again. “Definitely, I want to thank our parents, Betty and Winslow McClain, for the support and love they gave us,” he added. “My father worked on Bill Plonk’s farm so we’re just old country boys from Kings Mountain. I can’t tell you how it feels to have my name going on the same board with Leon Spinks and Ken Norton, and it’s even more special to be inducted at the same time as my brother. I know our parents are looking down and smiling.”

Soccer beats Crest, KM baseball beaten twice 1 more win for title Kings Mountain High’s soccer team needs one win or tie in its final two games to wrap up the Big South 3A Conference championship. The Lady Mountaineers defeated second place Crest 4-3 Friday night at John Gamble Stadium to run their Big South record to 11-0-1. Crest fell to 10-2. The only blemish on the Mountaineers’ conference schedule was a 1-1 tie to Stuart Cramer, the team KM was hosting last night. A tie or win in that game would lock up the #1 Big South spot for the KM ladies. Kings Mountain closes its regular season Friday at

home against North Gaston. Crest jumped out to a 1-0 lead over KM Friday at Gamble Stadium but the Lady Mountaineers scored three goals in a row to go up 3-1. Crest battled back to tie the game before KM scored late for its second one-goal win over the Lady Chargers this season. Lindsey Deaver led the scoring with two goals and she also had one assist. Georgia Moss had an outstanding game with five assists. Emma Goff added a goal and two assists. Cassidy Calhoun scored a goal and Mackenzie Ramsey had an assist. On Tuesday night the

MS soccer beats West Kings Mountain Middle’s soccer team defeated West Lincoln 4-2 last week. Sage Wright scored two unassisted goals. Megan Carley scored two goals,

Lady Mountaineers battled in the rain on a soggy Forestview turf to shutout the Lady Jaguars 4-0. Sarah Drennan, Emma Goff, Cassidy Calhoun and Lauren Campbell scored a goal apiece. Mackenzie Ramsey provided two assists and Drennan and Georgia Moss added one apiece. Baylee Marr was in goal for the shutout. BSC standings through last Friday: KM 11-0-1, Crest 10-2, Cramer 9-2-1, Forestview 7-4, North Gaston 3-7-1, Ashbrook 1-9-1, Huss 1-9, Burns 1-10.

Kings Mountain High’s baseball team lost its final two regular season games last week and was scheduled to play in the Big South Conference tournament this week before putting its gear away for the year. An 8-4 loss to regular

season champion Crest Friday night resulted in KM tying Ashbrook for sixth place in the eight-team Big South with 4-10 records. The Mountaineers were scheduled to go to North Gaston last night to open the conference tournament.

The Mountaineers fell to Forestview 4-0 Wednesday in Gastonia. Final standings – Crest 13-1, North Gaston 11-3, Burns 9-5, Stuart Cramer 8-6, Forestview 7-7, Ashbrook 4-10, Kings Mountain 4-10, Huss 0-14.

KM softball beats Forestview Kings Mountain scored all of its runs in the third inning to defeat Forestview 11-0 in a Big South game Wednesday night at Forestview. Summer Deaton went the distance on the mound, scattering six hits and striking out seven. Catie Payne led the KM plate attack with 3-for-4 and

four runs batted in. Jenna Ramsey went 2-for-2 with two RBI and Emily Graham was 2-for-3 with one RBI. The KM ladies fell to Big South Conference champ Crest 6-0 in their final regular season game Friday. Jesse Oehler had KM’s only hit. Fifteen of KM’s 21 outs were strikeouts. Catie Payne went the dis-

tance on the mound for KM. She had nine strikeouts. Kings Mountain is involved in the BSC tournament this week and will then find out its first round foe in the state 3A playoffs. Final BSC standings: Crest 14-0, KM 11-3, Cramer 9-5, North Gaston 9-5, Burns 7-7, Foretview 4-10, Huss 2-12, Ashbrook 0-14.

with 75s. Whitaker won with a par on the first playoff hole (#12). Dale Shelton was low net with a 62. Bill Champion was closest to the pin on #17 and Claude Lucas sank the longest putt on #18.
