He was born on January 20, 1953 in Kings Mountain, NC, the first child of Jack and Dorcas White. He grew up in Kings Mountain, NC where his father was an attorney and state Senator.

Cleveland County Potato Project The Cleveland County Potato Project did not have a very productive white potato crop this year. According to Doug Sharp, co-founder of the project, “We would like to make up a large deficit of potatoes to give to needy people. Therefore, Sundays September 2 and September 9 are being designated as “Harvest Days”. County residents are being asked to bring bags of white potatoes to a central location. The group does not currently have a location in Kings Mountain. If any

group or church congregation would like help and collect potatoes or take donations, the potato project members will work with you to distribute potatoes to these agencies. The intent is to give any potatoes collected in Kings Mountain to KM agencies. First Baptist Church and Ascension Lutheran Churches are collection sites in Shelby. Donations may be made to CCPP, 1202 Hardin Rd, Shelby NC, 28150. For more information contact Doug Sharp at 704 472 -5128.

Veterans honored last Saturday By Loretta Cozart The 2018 American Legion World Series is just a memory now with the LORETTA sounds of the COZART bat and cheers of the crowd carried away on the wind. Veteran’s Field at Keeter Stadium stands silent, after 5 days of tournament play where eight regional championship teams competed for the 2018 American Legion World Series title. Last Saturday was designated a day to honor all veterans and those who attended the games did so free of charge. A special commemorative hat and baseball were given to veterans by Legion Post 82. Kings Mountain’s Col. Frederick Hambright DAR Chapter distributed the United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration pins, thanking and honoring Vietnam Veterans individually for their service as part of the 50th anniversary. Members also described the Wreaths Across America project at Mountain Rest Cemetery this

nies. After the National Anthem and Pledge, Rohan was whisked off the field and the games began. Veterans appreciated her taking the time to join them on this special day. Before leaving on Saturday, I had the opportunity to meet Commander Rohan. I noticed her standing alone just outside the main gate, so I approached her to say “hello”. She thanked me and the DAR for honoring our veterans. I explained to her Rohan talks with Legion Riders. that I am also an American Legion Auxiliary well, turned and walked back member and she gave me one into the stadium. of her administration pins.

Folks weren’t flocking to Rohan. She was intentionally seeking out veterans and spending a moment with each one, taking the time visit with them and say a kind word. It wasn’t about her… it was about the Veterans. As I drove from Keeter Stadium, I looked down saw Rohan’s pin… and smiled. I realized that it was the veterans that she came to see and personally thank for their service, whether with a pin, a smile, a kind word, or the touch of a hand. Our veterans need to be reminded that they are remembered, and their service is appreciated… one veteran at a time.

■ MEDITATION

Try a little kindness It happened just a few days ago. I decided to slow down a bit to make sure the cars exiting I-85 to Hwy. 321 would do Pastor Ron Caulder so and not Eastside Baptist Church KM Ministerial come back Association, President into my lane. But just as I did, I heard this continuous loud horn from a trucker driving an 18 wheeler. As I looked in my rearview mirror, all I could see was a bright shining grill. This scenario continued until I could finally

move over and let him pass. So, as I was wondering what would follow my articles on patience and forgiveness. This experience led me to the thought of kindness. I believe we all struggle with this just as we do with patience and forgiveness. Most of us try to be kind, but admittedly, there are those times that we get in a hurry and when our patience runs thin, and we have a less forgiving attitude toward those who seem to get in our way either by driving too slowly or jumping ahead of us when we’re in a check-out line. When this happens, we are more prone to act in an unkind manner. We just never know when that

dark side of us will surface. My guess is that it happens in all of us from time to time and more times than we would like to admit. That’s when we need to pray for patience and to ask for our own personal forgiveness. Walking daily in the Spirit takes a humble spirit and admitting to ourselves and our Lord our shortcomings. The Bible tells us that we are “to be kind to one another; tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:32, NKJV). We are living in a time when it seems that more people are being impatient, having short fuses, and

with everyone being in a hurry resulting in the loss of ability to treat others with kindness and respect. Permit me to go back into the vault of time and pull out one of the songs of the 60’s which was a big hit with the late Glenn Campbell—“Try a Little Kindness:” “You got to try a little kindness, Yes, show a little kindness, Just shine your light for everyone to see, And if you try a little kindness, Then you’ll overlook the blindness Of a narrow-mind people on the Narrow-minded streets.” While we will always live in an imperfect world (on this side of eternity) this does not mean that we are to give up trying to be

the people God has called us to be. We should strive for excellence in our personal character and in our relationships with others. I close with the challenge the apostle Paul presents to us in Colossians 3:12 “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, KINDNESS, humility, gentleness, and patience.” (NIV). A closing prayer: Lord, help us to remember that kindness is evidence of Your Spirit Who lives in us. Help us to show this gift to our neighbors, teachers, families, co-workers, and those who are our leaders in our churches, community, and government. May we all try “a little kindness” in the week ahead. Amen!”

Burton-Leonhardt engagement

Youngsters having a fun time together.

Renee Odems gives back By Loretta Cozart Renee Odems has operated Children First Daycare in Kings Mountain for 18 years and strives to be a good example to the children entrusted to her care. At the end of each summer, she has a cookout at Lineberger Park and provides school supplies for her children. “We have hot dogs and hamburgers. I use the supplies list to get items the children need for school,” Odems said. “The parents were so happy and thankful for them. I make sure to include the infants and toddlers, too. I give them two outfits and other things just for them.” Odems believes in leading by example. “The Lord loves a cheerful giver,” she said. “So, each year we have the cookout and the children and families celebrate the kids going back to school. Later in the year, the children and their parents help others through activities we plan together,” she said. “Each year we are in the Christmas Parade; we really look forward to that. We plan a different theme and have a trailer full of children,” Odems shared. “We also collect can goods to share with Crisis Assistance Ministry. We’ve made fruit baskets for White Oak Manor, too. This year, I am excited to add the Salvation Army to our list.” According to Odems, home daycare children get more attention and quality care. Children First Daycare was honored as the Home Daycare of the Year from Child Care Connection of Cleveland County.

Families gather for the cookout.

Babies are included too

Odems added, “We always have our Apprecation Cookout on Sunday afternoon. Sunday is the Lord’s Day and I want Him to know I am thankful for every one of my kids. Parents can take

KM spikers sweep East Kings Mountain High’s varsity volleyball team remained undefeated Monday with a 3-0 victory over East Rutherford. The JVs also defeated the Lady Cavaliers to run their record to 3-1. In varsity action, Kings Mountain won by scores of 25-19, 25-12 and 25-17. Abbie Harris had 14 service points. Lindsey Deaver had 21 service points and seven kills. Makena Deaton added 13 kills, five service points and one block. The JVs won 25-23 and 25-20. Ashlyn Wood had 15 service points. Rachel Johnson and Mary Bearfield led the defensive effort and Shaelin Smith played well on offense. Kings Mountain was scheduled to host Shelby yesterday.

SIMS From Page 1A The Lord’s looked out for me and I’m ready to get back to work as soon as I can. I’ve got to get this walking back right and I’ll be back,” he added. According to Sheriff Norman, Sim’s has a “long road to recovery.” On August 14, Sims responded to a call of a suspicious person possibly wanted for probation and parole violations who was spotted at the KM Auto Broker dealership on Shelby Road around 10:30 p.m. The business was closed. During that call, an altercation occurred, and Sims suffered gunshot wounds to his face and leg. He was airlifted to Atrium Health Main in Charlotte for treatment. At a press conference last Wednesday, Sheriff Norman spoke of the attack on his officer, "Deputy Sims came to work to protect the people of Cleveland County… He was the thread that held the material together. "I don't know where the attack on law enforcement stops, but I can tell you this: It won't be tolerated in Cleveland County," the sheriff said. "He (the suspect) is considered a violent thug, in my opinion prior to his firing on law enforcement. And once he fires on law enforcement, he shows me that he has no regard for human life. Norman said, “Sims is a two-year, three-month veteran of the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office”, saying that “Sims is a fine example of a deputy sheriff.” Sheriff Norman added “The suspect had 28 prior charges against him in Cabarrus County. Had he been held accountable for his actions there, this probably would have never happened,” said Norman.

FALL SPORTS PREVIEW Mountaineers have big target on their backs as they try to defend Big South championship

TEE TIME Mountaineers vs. South Caldwell Friday, 7:30 at Gamble Stadium

With 13 starters returning from a team that went undefeated to win the 2017 Big South 3A championship, veteran Kings Mountain High coach Greg Lloyd expects another long playoff run this fall. But, that being said, the Mountaineers have been on the minds of every opponent for almost a year. Every Friday night, Kings Moun-

tain’s opponent will be at the top of its game. “It will take a total team effort because this conference is going to be stronger than it was last year,” Coach Lloyd said. “All teams are going to be good. It’s going to be a dogfight every Friday night. I’m looking forward to getting started.” Most “guessperts” expect Kings Mountain, Crest

and Hunter Huss to again fight it out for the championship. If pre-season talk is accurate, all three teams will be improved. “Crest and Hunter Huss are both really good,” Lloyd said. “They have a lot of speed and size. Burns, Ashbrook and Forestview always play us tough. Stuart Cramer is improving every year and North Gaston is,

too. It’s a tough league and our non-conference opponents are also strong. Cuthbertson, Shelby and TC Roberson will be really good and South Caldwell will be much better than last year. We have to do our best to stay healthy and focused about what we’re doing every week.” Kings Mountain returns a starter at every “skill” po-

sition, so this year’s offense could be the best in the school’s 96-year football history. With Lloyd’s wide open offensive style of play, the Mountaineers should be able to put big points on the board. The seven returning starters on offense should be among the best in the Big South at their positions, and See TARGET, Page 8B

This year’s group of ‘skill players’ could be best ever In football circles quarterbacks, running backs and receivers are often referred to as “skill” people. In the 96-year history of Kings Mountain High School football, the Mountaineers have had plenty of good skill players. But they’ve probably never had as large a group as this year. Very often, they’ve had a good quarterback, good running back and a good receiver but this year they have plenty of

all three. “We’ve got some very good ones,” says Mountaineer head coach Greg Lloyd. “They just need to continue what they did last year. That kind of experience is vital to what we’re trying to do. They are very smart and understand the offense. They’re gamers and understand what we’re doing. And they take care of the ball.” The list includes senior quarterback Kaylon Wade, senior slot

receiver Chris Brittain, senior H-back Holden Turner, junior running back Ricaylen Mack and sophomore wide receiver Kobe Paysour. “It’s just very exciting to have this many skill players,” said Coach Lloyd. “You can just play with one ball and everybody wants to get their carries. But all of them are unselfish. They do what they do for the good of the team.”

KAYLON WADE Sr. QB, 6-1, 170 Last year: 112-370 rushing 117-201-2,203 yards passing 22 TD passes 11 TDs rushing

KOBE PAYSOUR

Soph WR, 6-1, 170 Last year 31 receptions 778 yards, 36 points 6-143 vs. JM Robinson, 3-161 vs. Forestview, 3-120 vs. Crest Quotes from Coach Lloyd: “Kobe is one of the most talented football players I have ever been around. He has great hands and he is really dedicated.“ “He is a big time gamer. He is just as fast with pads on as he is without them. It’s pretty impressive how fast he can run. He is a game changer.” “It’s hard to defend him. He is a special talent and it’s exciting to see him run and what he can do with his athletic ability. He has a really bright future. He is very versatile. There’s no question. He could play defense, slot or split end. He’s an all-around athlete and a playmaker. We’re trying to keep him on the field because he makes plays that make us a whole lot better.”

HOLDEN TURNER Sr. HB, 5-7, 220 5-7, 220 POUNDS Last year 11-110 receiving

“He’s getting some looks from colleges as a quarterback and a defensive back. He’s a really good corner and would make a good college player. He loves the game.” “He’s a leader and a worker and he makes big plays with his arm. He is fast and he is a good person.” “He’s a little thin but he’s strong. He’s gained a lot of weight and muscle. He’s probably in the best shape he’s been since he’s been here.” “He’s a good student and one of the best players we’ve had, and we’ve had some really good ones. He’s right up there with Michael Roberts”

(QB who led the Mountaineers to the 2008 Southwestern Conference championship and played for the Western NC championship).

Quotes from Coach Lloyd “Holden is probably the best blocker on the team.” “He’s not tall but he has really good hands.” “Ricaylen Mack had a lot of yards last year because of Holden’s blocking and Ricaylen will tell you that. Holden is an exceptional blocker and he is very unselfish.” “He’s not going to complain. He’s always going to do his best for the team. He’s stronger than he was last year and will be even better this year.” “He has been starting at his position since the 10th grade with the JVs. He jumped right in as a junior and contributed right off the bat. He started every game.”

CHRIS BRITTAIN Sr. slot, 5-9, 170 pounds Last year 31 receptions 558 yards receiving 4 catches for 121 yards vs. Rockingham County

RICAYLEN MACK Jr. RB, 5-7, 200 Last year: 1,825 yards rushing 3 games over 200 yards 164 points* *Single season school record

Quotes from Coach Lloyd “He started all 14 games last year at the slot and improved every game. By the end of the year he was a major threat.” “He had some big games and played his best against the best competition. He makes big plays against the big competition.” “He’s a lot stronger than he was last year. I’m really excited to have him. He’s not just a good receiver, he is a good kick returner. He has good hands and makes big plays.” “He’s up from 155 pounds last year and runs a 4.5 forty. He’s one of the fastest guys on the team. He has good speed and good hands and will be a good player for us.”

Quotes from Coach Lloyd: “He is already a two-year starter and had a great year last year.” “He is so productive. He averaged over five yards a carry and scored over 20 touchdowns and gained over 1,800 yards as a sophomore.” “He takes care of the ball. He runs the ball a lot because we know we can count on him. He holds onto the ball. I don’t think he fumbled but two times all last year.” “He is a very powerful runner. It’s nice to have him back there with Kaylon Wade.” “He’s a good back and will do a great job for us. He’s a really good weapon to keep the offense moving.”

Quotes from Coach Lloyd

Good Luck to our Kings Mountain Mountaineers!!

Lady Mountaineers plan to make a strong run for Big South crown With five of six starters returning from a team that lost the conference championship on the final regular season playing date last season, Kings Mountain High volleyball coach Heather Pasour expects her Lady Mountaineers to make a strong run toward the Big South 3A Conference championship. Kings Mountain, which won the South Mountain Athletic Conference crown in Pasour’s first season as coach in 2016-17 and finished 21-4 overall, has a 12-lady roster that could provide one of the school’s most balanced teams in years. The Lady Mountaineers’ only senior last year was LeeAsia Rhodes, and she will be missed. But, returning this season after missing last year after tearing her ACL

in soccer is Lindsey Deaver who should return as one of the best players in the conference. “I think we are starting out stronger than we did last year,” said Coach Pasour who has tested her girls with two day-long scrimmages against some of the best teams in the area. The Lady Mountaineers are now in the midst of a tough non-conference schedule and are looking forward to their Big South 3A opener against Stuart Cramer on August 28 at KM’s Donald L. Parker Gymnasium. “It’s always hard to say how we will do because we don’t know about the other conference teams yet, but we have what I call a starting nine right now that is stronger than we have See LADY, Page 9B

THE DYNASTY CONTINUES

Lady Mountaineer tennis team is going for fourth straight title The dynasty continues as the Mountaineer women’s tennis team continues its winning ways into the record books at Kings Mountain High School. There has never been a tennis team either on the men’s or women’s side that has won three consecutive conference championships. “If our team stays healthy throughout the year our women’s team has a chance to win our fourth consecutive conference championship,” said Coach Rick Henderson who is beginning his 11th season at the helm. Last year’s tennis team placed five players on the AllBig South Conference team with the duo of Natalie Lutz (rising senior) and Madelynn Frye (rising junior) leading the way. Rounding out the other three all conference positions were MC Johnson (rising senior), Amber Belcher (graduated) and Jasmine Guy (rising senior). Sarah Bell (rising junior) was KM’s fifth seed last year but came up short by one match, therefore not making the All-Conference team. “I can assure that Bell will bounce back and earn her way onto the All-Conference team this year,” Henderson said. The Lady Mountaineers have all returning players from last year’s team with the exception of two seniors who graduated back in June. They were were Amber Belcher (4th seed) and Hallie Hunt (reserve). Belcher went undefeated in conference play last year and will surely be missed. One bright spot for this year’s team is an upcoming rising senior (Kassie John-

son). Johnson is a transfer student from Stuart Cramer and played the #1 position on their women’s tennis team last year but has since transferred back to Kings Mountain High School. “Johnson is very familiar with our team as she played for us during her freshman and sophomore years. Kassie will add a lot of depth to our team and I’m truly looking for her to have a stellar year,” Henderson said. “As for the remainder of this year’s team we have Anne Scott Baker (rising senior) and Olivia Moss (rising sophomore) looking to break into the starting lineup. Unfortunately Karmen Houser (rising senior), who recently had shoulder surgery, will not compete on the team this year and is now serving as our team’s manager. “Unfortunately we’ve only had a few practices simply due to the afternoon and evening thunder showers and rain that we have experienced the last couple of weeks.” The last three years the KM ladies have combined for a 21 – 0 record in conference play and a 30 – 1 overall record with the only loss coming to Weddington back in ’16. This record does not include post season. “I’m excited about what this year’s team will do,” Henderson noted. “From an individual and team perspective I’m just amazed at how well our women’s tennis team dominated our conference in both singles and doubles play last year,” he said. “They actually participated in seven conference matches and three non-conference matches for a total

Kings Mountain High’s girls tennis team is looking for its fourth straight conference championship this fall. Front row, left to right, Olivia Moss, Natalie Lutz, Mary Catherine Johnson, Carmen Houser and Ann Scott Baker. Back row, coach Rick Henderson, Sarah Bell, Jasmine Guy and Madelynn Frye. of eighty-seven individual matches and won eighty-six of those matches. That winning percentage for the year will stay in the record books for decades to come. “Unfortunately one of the biggest disappointments last year is when Natalie Lutz and Madelynn Frye made it to the state 3A tennis championships for a second straight year but lost to Savannah Bright and Stela Joksimovic of East Chapel Hill 6 – 3, 6 – 3 at the Burlington Tennis Center. And of course both Lutz and Frye were the defending champions after winning the championship in ’16. I can assure you that both Natalie and Madelynn will be very hungry this year for another state championship title. So, I have increased our total of non-conference matches this year against some truly com-

petitive teams so our student athletes are looking forward to our upcoming tennis sea-

son. “I encourage all tennis enthusiasts to come out and

watch some quality tennis and I can assure you that you will not be disappointed.”

Good young players on KM soccer roster eers will put a good product on the field. The only full-time starter returning is senior Brandon Quevedo-Johns. Fellow senior Ricky Wright, who saw playing time as a reserve last year, should be able to help out along with several promising newcomers. “We’re going to be a little on the younger side. We

With just one starter returning, it may be hard for Kings Mountain High’s soccer team to better last year’s 15-6-2 overall record and third place finish in the Big South 3A Conference. But even though the roster is slim, veteran head coach Erik Price has some good young talent and in time believes the Mountain-

graduated 14 players from varsity last year,” Coach Price noted. “But we have a pretty strong junior class that were on varsity last year. They should help us out.” Some of those playeras include Josh Visoso, Tritson Stenger, goal keeper Silas Price, and Kevin Smith.

Sophomore Danny Carlee also returns from last year and should fill a starting position. “We don’t have that varsity experience yet,” noted Coach Price. “But we have some new pieces to the puzzle. Some of the younger guys are going to be good.” They include Ward Dellinger, Ricky Washburn and

Christian Quevedo-Johns. A big positive, Price said, is that the players are in good shape. They spent most of the summer months working out and getting used to the heat. “The kids worked hard during the summer,” Price said. “Everything went well and we had good numbers out there.”

Liza Dellinger will assist Price with the varsity program and has also taken over as head coach of the JVs. “We are looking forward to the season,” Price added. “A lot of the younger guys play travel ball and club ball. They are a very capable group.”

KMHS cross country low in numbers but looks to be strong in conference Kings Mountain High should be competitive in the Big South 3A Conference this year, but veteran Mountaineer coach Rayvis Key figures everybody in Cleveland and Gaston counties will be playing second fiddle to Forestview. The Mountaineers will go into the season with 23 runners – 15 boys and eight girls – while the Jaguars have more than three times that number.

“Forestview has been a perennial power in the Big South for years,” Key noted. “Cross country is big over there. They had 88 people come out for football and 82 for cross country so running is very important to them. “A lot of Forestview’s parents ran and they have a great coach in John Hunsucker. He has taken that program pretty far. They had four state qualifiers last year. Two of them grad-

uated but they just reload every year.” Although they can’t match those numbers, Coach Key says the Mountaineers have a very solid first five in both boys and girls and they will be very competitive. Kings Mountain’s boys finished second to Forestview last year and should do it again. “Forestview beat us by 40 points, and we hope to close that gap. If we could knock half of

that out it would be a moral victory for us.” The Mountaineers have been running at the school and Gateway Trail since July 30 and they show a lot of promise. They competed in the Burns scrimmage last week at South Mountain Campground and will compete in the Western North Carolina run Saturday, August 25 at Jackson Park in Hendersonville. They open their regular season at home Tuesday, September

4 at 4:30 against Bessemer City, Forestview, North Gaston, Hunter Huss, Stuart Cramer and Highland Tech. That will be their only home meet. On the girls side, senior Nicola Bridges is looking for a great season after finishing third in the conference last year. “She’s looking good,” Key said. “Another girl who is going to help us a lot is last year’s middle school standout, Mar-

lee Arnold. Brooke Clark has improved tremendously See CROSS, Page 6B

KM runners lead way 5-team run at Burns Kings Mountain swept both the girls and boys meet in last week’s season-opening cross country run at Burns. In girls action, the Lady Mountaineers won with 19 points with Cleveland County Home finishing second at 36. Nicola Bridges led the KM effort with a second place finish. Freshman Marlee Arnold and Brooke Clark followed in third and fourth place, respectively. Other top finishers for the KM ladies were Zahra Roberts ninth, Belle Hollifield 10th, Emma Campbell

18th and Lacya Wiggins 19th. In the boys’ race, KM won with 29 points followed by Hunter Huss 63, Cleveland County Home 83, Burns 86 and West Lincoln 90. Junior Dallin Campbell led the Mountaineers with a third place finish. Parker Key was fourth, Jalen Roberts fifth, Jesse Hughes eighth, Dylan Williams ninth, Aiden Wilson 13th and Justin Mathis 15th. Kings Mountain runs at Jackson Park in Hendersonville Saturday.

Kings Mountain High senior Natlie Lutz will probably be making her fourth appearance in the NC HSAA state championship golf tournament this year. At this point she is the only one playing golf at KMHS, thus the school will not be eligible to accumulate any points from girls golf toward the Big South Wells Fargo Cup standings.

and should be our number three runner. “Forestview still has two state qualifiers so it will be really tough to knock them off,” Key said. “Hopefully we can pull out second place and narrow the gap between us and Forestview. Ashbrook edged us out for second last year. We finished 50 points behind Forestview and hopefully we can cut that in half this year and finish second.” Rounding out the top five for the Lady Mountaineers will be Maggie Lloyd and Zara Roberts, a three-year veteran. “We feel really good about our top five,” Key said. “Belle Hollifield has improved her time and another freshman, Monica Head, is looking good so far. A lot of the girls are still developing. Our numbers are down to eight this year but our guys are 15 deep.”

The Mountaineers lost their top runner from a year, Dane Skeith, but they still look strong. Returners Caleb Barnes, Dallin Campbell and Jalen Roberts will probably be the top three. Parker Key is joining the team from the middle school, and return-

TARGET From Page 1B some of them could even be among the best in the state. “We will have as good an offensive team as we’ve had since I’ve been here,” said Lloyd. “It’s nice to have Kaylon Wade back at quarterback. He’s a winner. Our receivers are really good and should be better than last year.” Wade passed for 2,203 yards and 22 touchdowns last year despite being hampered the second half of the season with an ankle injury. Wade, a starting wide receiver as a sophomore, was moved to quarterback midway of that season when regular starter Darren Burns suffered a season-ending injury, and in a short time developed into one of the best quarterbacks in the area. Wade started out great again last season but went down to an injury at the midway point. With most folks thinking he would be out for many weeks he was pressed into duty the following week at Hunter Huss when his backup, John Harmon Melton, suffered a season-ending broken jaw. Wade came onto the field,

and despite a painful limp helped the team add to its early lead and claim a big win in what would eventually turn out to be the conference championship. When Wade isn’t throwing the ball to talented receivers like Kobe Paysour, Christopher Brittain, Holden Turner and others, he has the most powerful running back in the area to hand the ball to. Junior Ricaylen Mack gained 1,825 yards last season and broke the school’s single season individual scoring record with 164 points. With 809 yards rushing as a freshman he has 2,634 career yards rushing and should threaten Anthony Hillman’s career record of 5,618 yards set in 1997-99. With Kings Mountain usually in a one-back set, Mack gets the bulk of the carries but Coach Lloyd hopes players like Rashaard Brooks, Marquis Adams and Albert Hope will take a lot of the pressure off Mack. Another top returner on offense is sophomore wide receiver Kobe Paysour, who set a freshman receiving record last year with 792 yards. If he stays healthy he should break all receiving records before he is through. He is already being

recruited by major colleges and recently received an offer from the University of North Carolina. Paysour’s brother, Eli, and John Harmon Melton were slated to be go-to receivers as well but suffered injuries in summer workouts. Melton is out for the season and Paysour is out for about six weeks. Lloyd hopes to have him back for the stretch run of the conference race and state playoffs. Another very talented receiver is slot Chris Brittain, who along with the Paysours, Melton, Holden Turner and graduated senior Dontavious Hughes gave opposing defenses a terrible time last year. Shyrone Reid, who played JV ball a couple years ago, is back and looking good as well. “Right now he is our fastest player,” Coach Lloyd noted. Turner, who is a tight end/ wingback, is a key element to the short passing game as a receiver and the running game as a strong blocker for Mack. Javari Rice-Wilson, a sophomore transfer from Forestview, will start at defensive end and also see duty on offense as a tight end and fullback. Junior Bryce Fisher will also see duty at tight end. The Mountaineers lost sev-

eral offensive linemen, but have a good nucleus returning. Nathan Bess steps in as the starting center. He started some games last year and played the entire game against a tough TC Roberson team. Anchoring the line will be returning junior guard Xavier Brown. Owen Prince and Josiah Goodwin will also play guard. James Parsons, 6-5, 305 pounds, returns at tackle and junior DJ Bagwell, who started on JVs and eight-quartered on varsity, steps in at the other tackle. “DJ is going to do a good job,” noted Coach Lloyd. “Both of those guys are good prospects. James is getting a lot of looks from colleges.” Defense suffered the biggest losses, but Lloyd has six of the 11 starters back and capable replacements for the ones that were lost to graduation. The setup will be a 4-2-5. “We will blitz a lot and be aggressive,” Lloyd said. “Just about everybody is using it now. It’s a good defense to run when you see multiple offenses.” Anchoring the line is 5-10, 305-pound Jeremiah “Pork Chop” Brown who is one of the best players in the area, and may be unstoppable unless he’s double-teamed. And, if he is, there are other defensive linemen who will be there to wreak havoc on the opposition, including 6-0, 330 pound sophomore Isaac Watson

and sophomore Robert Lipscomb. Javari Rice-Wilson, and Zack Crawford, a standout on the JV team last year, will be at the defensive ends. Rice-Wilson started as a freshman at Forestview last season and is a welcomed addition to the Kings Mountain community. The Mountaineers lost some good linebackers, but also have two starters back in Damien “Day Day” Wilson and Michael “Pack” Pruiksma. Titus Clark, who was one of the leading tacklers on the JV team, will move up to the varsity level. Joe Ruffalo and Nathan Groves will be other key factors on defense. Wilson, just a sophomore, had an impressive freshman season with numerous tackles, a fumble recovery for a touchdown and an interception return for a touchdown. “Day Day is older and is a major college prospect,” Lloyd said. “He has the size and speed and plays smart.” He has already received offers from numerous colleges, including North Carolina and South Carolina. The secondary lost only one player, safety Reese Reinhardt, and should be one of the best around. James Ussery returns at corner along with Luke Bishop and Chuckie Osborne. Belton Pressley, Marquis Fewell and Kobe Paysour return as free

safeties. “A lot of those guys are interchangeable,” Coach Lloyd noted. “Kobe Paysour will be our only two-way starter.” The biggest question mark right now is the kicking game, where the Mountaineers lost their all-time kick scoring leader Micah Randall. Kickoff duties will be handled by Austin Browning, who kicked for the JVs last season. Even though they have one of the toughest schedules around, Lloyd believes the Mountaineers can be better than last year finish and have a shot at going far in the state playoffs. “We have to do our best to stay healthy and focused about what we’re doing every week,” he said. “It’s going to be a blow not having John Harmon. He could do so many things, but we have as good a nucleus as we’ve had since I’ve been here. If our key players stay healthy we will be fine.”

LADY From Page 2B been,” she said. “We have a lot more experience this year. Having Lindsey Deaver back will help us a lot.” The Lady Mountaineers have six veteran seniors this season, including Abbie Harris, Jami Nivens, Baylee Marr, Makena Deaton, Ruthie Dover and Mandy Breakfield. All of them started or saw considerable playing time on last year’s 17-10 team. Junior outside hitter Kylie Bearfield will be strong as well. Deaton will be in the middle, and freshman Aaliyah Byers is looking good, too,” Pasour noted. “Deaver will be on the outside. “Abbie and Layla Harris and Emma Goff will be strong. We are running two setters this year. “All of the girls will be seeing substantial playing

time,” Pasour added. “We will be competitive. Going in you never know what everybody else has but we hope to battle for first place. I would think that with us finishing second last year and we’re better – it just depends on what

everybody else has but we should finish near the top. “We have six seniors on this year’s team and our JV team is strong as well. So both of our teams should be really competitive. We have a lot of good players that were on the middle

school team that won its conference championship last year.” Pasour will again be assisted by Lindsay Ellis and Haley Blanton will be in her second season as junior varsity coach.

KMHS volleyball KM netters whips Shelby, NL win opener

Kings Mountain’s women’s volleyball team is off to a great start with a 2-0 record heading into a game Monday night at East Rutherford. In their opening season match Tuesday, the Lady Mountaineers swept Shelby 3-0 in varsity and 2-0 in JVs. The varsity won 27-25, 25-21, 25-13 with Makena Deaton leading the way with 12 kills and four blocks. Kyann Crocker played outstanding defense and had 14 service points. Layla Harris and Emma Goff did a good job setting up the offense. The JVs won 25-13, 2624. Keegan Irby had five kills. Lily Gold and Andrea Melton each had seven service points and played overall good defense.

Thursday the spikers faced a tough test against North Lincoln but prevailed 25-22, 19-25, 25-22 and 28-26. Makena Deaton led the way with 10 service points, one block and 13 kills. Freshman Aaliyah Byers was big along the nets with nine kills and two blocks. Abbie Harris contributed 17 service points and Layla Harris added 15 assists and eight service points. In JV action, North Lincoln won 25-9, 25-8. Kings Mountain was scheduled to host Shelby last night. The ladies travel to East Gaston Thursday and will open Big South 3A Conference play August 28 against Stuart Cramer.

Kings Mountain High’s girls tennis team dominated in its first-ever match with St. Stephens Monday, 9-0. Even though the team has had only a handful of practices due to inclement weather, the girls continued their dominance from last year and showed that they will be a strong contender in the Big South Conference and state playoffs. “We have a lot of experience starting from top to bottom,” said Coach Rick Henderson. “We can go as deep in the state playoffs as we did last year, which was the third round, but we have to stay healthy.” KM’s top three players, Natalie Lutz, Madelynn Frye and MC Johnson, breezed by their opponents without losing a game and

won their matches 8-0. Jasmine Guy, Sarah Bell and Anne Scott Baker were impressive as well, with Guy and Bell winning 8-2 and Baker 8-5. “Lutz, Frye and Johnson are nursing a few injuries but I’ve shared with them that we have a long season and they will have to pace themselves in order to stay healthy for the post season,” Henderson said. Lutz is nursing a slight muscle pull, Frye is dealing with an elbow issue and Johnson is having some ankle issues. “Luckily, we’ve had some time off for these girls to rest and that’s what we need as we face Crest at home Thursday in a non-conference match.” Kings Mountain faces Clover away Monday.

These two gentlemen are familiar to the Kings Mountain High sidelines at fall football games. Mayor Scott Neisler, left, gets an inside look at game highlights while David Ozmore handles play-by-play duties in the press box. Charlie Smith, right, takes thousands of pictures of game action to share with the team and general public. A Mountaineer halfback under Coach Shu Carlton in the 1950's, Charlie still takes a "hit" every now and then.

Helms wins senior golf Mike Helms shot a 70 to win Thursday’s Cleveland County Senior Golf Association tournament at Kings Mountain Country Club Ken Wood took low net with a 60 (74-14). Tim Leu was closest to the pin on #5 and Ronnie McCurry sank the longest putt on #9.

At Cherokee National Tuesday, Keith Lackey was low gross with a 71 and Tom Bennett (79—17) was low net with a 62. David Lowery was closest to the pin on #17 and Richard Bolin sank the longest putt on #18.
