Lawrence Patrick Senior Center an
hour before the reverse raffle began for a buffet dinner catered by Keith Falls. “As always, Susan Patterson’s décor and Keith Falls’ catering were a big hit,” said Sarah Lynch Director and Curator of the Historical Museum.

For Dental Implants Locally Here In Kings Mountain

On Tuesday, September 11th Kings Mountain’s American Legion Riders and the City of Kings Mountain honored first responders at the Otis D. Green Post home on East Gold Street. What started years ago at the American Legion as “Backin’ the Blue,” as the American Legion Riders’ project to honor first responders, was combined with the City of Kings Mountain’s Patriots’ Day observance in 2016. Joel Summit, Director of the Legion Riders commented, “This is an event to honor those whose service often goes unsung. We just
want those who serve us to know that they are appreciated. Two of our own Legion Riders were in New York City on 9/11 and their service means a lot to us, too. We want to say, ‘thank you’ and let our first responders know that we appreciate them and all they do for the community” Mayor Scott Neisler said, “We had our Patriot’s Day observance at City Hall for years. A couple years ago we thought it made more sense to combine these events. Working with the American Legion, we as a community can create a solemn event our first responders truly appreciate. We hold the ceremony at the American Legion Post and don’t have to worry about
the weather. Afterward, the Legion Riders feed the first responders a nice lunch.” Members of the City, American Legion, and first responders participated in the ceremony honoring those who were lost on September 11, 2001. “We had first responders from across Kings Mountain participate, along with folks from the Sheriff’s Department and State Highway Patrol. We sent plates to those who were on duty, and others came by throughout the day to eat with us. It was a real nice event and we are just pleased to be able to give back to the community and express our gratitude,” Summit said. The meal was catered by the Smoky Mountain Boys BBQ.

Annual 5K to fight human trafficking rescheduled for Homecoming Week, October 13 Efforts by GWU and Community Have Helped Rescue Seven Children Since 2016 A 5K race started in 2016 by Gardner-Webb University students has helped rescue seven enslaved children in Ghana, Africa. This year, the club organizing the Rescue Race is hoping the GWU community will raise enough funds to rescue four more children. Previously scheduled for Sept. 15, the race has been postponed because of inclement weather from Hurricane Florence. The 5K will now be held during GWU Homecoming Weekend, Oct. 13 at 8 a.m. “It takes almost $1,000 to rescue one child,” said Grace Lodholz, vice president of Release the Captives
(GWU's anti-human trafficking group). “One-hundred percent of the proceeds go directly to Challenging Heights, an organization in Ghana that rescues and rehabilitates children who are being trafficked in the fishing industry on Lake Volta.” Lodholz, a senior nursing major, joined the Release club because she is passionate about helping those trapped in slavery. “Human trafficking is a rampant issue in our world and so many people aren't aware of just how big the problem is,” she observed. “With awareness comes an overwhelming feeling—and anytime I can help facilitate a way for people to make a change—it is well worth my time.” The club became connected with Challenging Heights through Mary Toohey, a GWU alumna
who found out about the ministry on a service trip she took to Africa. The organization rescues the children and provides shelter, medical care and education while working to reunite them with their families. “Challenging Heights is an amazing organization that is really committed to tackling the issue of human trafficking from numerous angles, and we are so blessed to be a part of what they do,” Lodholz affirmed. The race begins in the Lutz-Yelton Convocation Center parking lot. The Boiling Springs Police Department will direct traffic to keep participants safe. The cost is $15 for GWU students and $20 for all others. Registration is available prior to race day at https:// gardner-webb.edu/rescue-race-2018.

NC Speaker of the House Tim Moore and law enforcement unveil the Officer Tim Brackeen Bridge sign. (Photo provided)
Bridge named for Officer Tim Brackeen The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) officially named the N.C. Highway 18 bridge at S. Lafayette Street in Shelby, N.C. after fallen city police Officer Tim Brackeen on Wednesday, honoring his sacrifice on the second anniversary of his line-of-duty shooting death in 2016. The North Carolina General Assembly directed NCDOT to name the bridge over N.C. Highway 74 after Officer Brackeen in the state budget during the short legislative session this summer. State law and department policies required legislative action to name a state-maintained bridge after a local law enforcement officer. The department erected signs officially designating the overpass ‘Officer Tim Brackeen Bridge’ in Shelby on Wednesday morning. State House Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland), who represents Shelby in the North Carolina House of Representatives, joined Officer Brackeen’s colleagues and family mem-
bers at the Shelby Police Department to unveil the sign design and honor his memory. Speaker Moore said he would file draft legislation at the dedication to strengthen penalties for assaulting or attempting to assault law enforcement officers with a firearm. Moore provided a bill draft that would heighten the penalty for pointing a firearm at a law enforcement officer from a Class E to a Class D felony, heighten the penalty for discharging a firearm during the assault of a police officer to a Class C felony, and raise the penalty for infliction of serious injury on a police officer with a firearm to a Class B2 felony. “I knew Tim to be a man of faith,” Moore said. “He was a police officer. He kept us safe no matter what. We wanted to do something so those coming through our community know of his sacrifice.” “It’s a small thing we’ve done but it’s the least we can do. He will never be

forgotten.” “On behalf of the North Carolina General Assembly – we stand with law enforcement. We will protect them because they protect us, and we are filing legislation in Officer Brackeen’s honor.” Shelby City Police K-9 Officer Timothy James Brackeen was shot on September 10, 2016, while he attempted to serve a warrant. He died two days later at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, N.C., at just 38 years old, leaving behind a wife and young daughter. Police say Brackeen was trying to serve a warrant to 23-year-old Irving Fenner at 12:21 a.m. on Saturday, September 10. He reportedly found Fenner at 212 Gidney St., Shelby, near Bethel Baptist Church, police said. The two struggled outside the home, and Brackeen was shot in the chest, Ledford said. Other officers arriving on the scene heard the sound of gunfire, and when they went to Brackeen’s location, they found him outside the home and injured. Brackeen was wearing his bulletproof vest at the time of the shooting. Brackeen was with the Shelby Police Department since July 2004 and was assigned as a K-9 officer for the department with his partner, Ciko.

For those who think drug trafficking is a victimless crime, about 80% of all crime in this county has some connection to the drug trade. The family devastation we see from drug addiction, especially methamphetamine, heroin, and prescription drug diversion, drives us to put an end to these brokers of human misery. Our citizens can help us succeed by calling 704-484-4987, and providing information on drug dealers in their neighborhoods. So much good information comes each week from the many citizens who make that call.”

This means that the mission of God, accomplished on the cross, should be our mission. Tell of God’s love that can bring about reconciliation, good health, right peace, and life everlasting. This is not a task to take lightly, but with deep conviction. Thus, my HOPE for Kings Mountain is to have a hope that is certain in Christ, that he was willing to lay down His life for!

Darin and Brooke Aldridge each won awards at the 2017 International Bluegrass Music Awards (IBMA) and they are finalists in two categories again in 2018. Brooke won the 2017 IBMA Female Vocalist of the Year Award the very first time she was nominated. Darin was honored with the IBMA Momentum Award for Mentor of the Year. The fiddler in their band, Carley Arrowood, won the IBMA Momentum Award for Instrumentalist of the Year. Brooke is a finalist for the 2018 IBMA Female Vocalist of the Year Award and Darin and Brooke together have also been nominated for the 2018 IBMA Gospel Recorded Performance of the Year Award for their single “I’m Going Under.” “We found our nominated song ‘I’m Going Under’ in Nashville, written by some very good songwriters, Karen Taylor Good and Bill Whyte, whose songs we have cut before,” said Darin Aldridge. “We thought it was a great tune that was faith-based, which we are, and we just love the words and the story behind the song. We felt like we were led to cut it, and it has turned out well for us so far. People seem to love the story of the song. It is kind of a different look at being baptized, saying ‘I’m going under,’ based on a young child in Bill Whyte’s family and what he said to his aunt one day. They heard it and thought it was a great title to write a song around. We feel blessed that the recording was nominated this year. We are lucky.” Additional information on the IBMA Awards Show and the IBMA World of Bluegrass Convention, all of which takes place in Raleigh at the end of September, can be found at ibma.org. Darin and Brooke have released two additional songs this summer: No End in Sight and Every Time You Leave. They expect a new album containing these and other songs to be released in October of 2018. The husband-wife duo from Cherryville continue to tour the US, Canada and Europe with their band and with music legends John Cowan and Jimmy Fortune. They have also worked with and earned the respect of other top-tier country music stars and Hall of Famers such as Vince Gill. “There’s a lot about the new generation of bluegrass that sure is inspiring,

Zane Oakley at the Cub Scout 2018 Pinewood Derby Worldwide Championship in New York City. Photos provided
Zane Oakley places second in Pinewood Derby Worldwide Championship By Loretta Cozart Eight-year-old Zane Oakley placed second in the Pinewood Derby’s Worldwide Championship on June 30, 2018 in New York City, winning in the Stock Car Wolf Division. Zane’s father, Wayne Oakley, explained that the Cub Scout Pack 93 held a meeting at West School and Zane expressed interest while in first grade. Mom Gretchen supported her son’s decision and became a Den mother last year. Before they knew it, Scouting became a family affair in the Oakley household. This year, Wayne is the Assistant Den Leader for the Wolfs. When the Pinewood Derby was announced in 2016, Zane instantly became an enthusiast. In the Pinewood Derby, Scouts build their own cars to specifications with the help
of a parent. So, Wayne helped his son to build the car. “You start with a piece of wood, two axles, and four wheels. That’s it. We investigated how to make the car go faster, making it aerodynamic, sanding the body, and polishing the axles to help it run faster. “You also have to align it, so it doesn’t bump the track and that makes it faster. And, then we had to make it pretty. We worked two hours a day to get the car ready,” he said. About the whole building process, Zane said, “You sand it a lot and make the car pointy, so it goes faster. You sand the axles, too. It takes a lot of sanding, a lot of sanding. It took
us two months to build it.” Talking about the trip to New York, Zane said, “It went good. They had Lego cars there. They also put the car on the track for us, so we got to go out and eat pizza. When the car won, there was a big ceremony and I got a huge Gold trophy. It was bigger than Noelle Marie, my threeyear-old sister,” he said. According to the Oakley’s, Noelle is also Zane’s biggest fan. Winning a trophy is nice, but the big win for the Oakley family is spending time together. “Working on the Pinewood Derby car puts us together in time. While building the car, we talk about gravity and friction, which opens a whole new world to Zane. The whole project encourages Zane to explore how to build the car and make it faster. The best part for me is that it brings us closer together.”

The World Trade Center (WTC) was a 16-acre commercial complex in lower Manhattan that contained seven buildings, a large plaza, and an underground shopping mall that connected six of the buildings. The centerpieces of the complex were the Twin Towers. On September 11, 2001, the entire complex was destroyed in a terrorist attack that has come to be referred to as “9/11”. “9/11” is shorthand for four coordinated terrorist attacks carried out by al-Qaeda, an Islamist extremist group, that occurred on the morning of September 11, 2001. The attacks killed 2,977 people. On the morning of September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists from al-Qaeda, hijacked four commercial airplanes, deliberately crashing two of the planes into the upper floors of the North and South towers of the World Trade Center complex and a
third plane into the Pentagon in Arlington, Va. The Twin Towers ultimately collapsed because of the damage sustained from the impacts and the resulting fires. After learning about the other attacks, passengers on the fourth hijacked plane, Flight 93, fought back, and the plane was crashed into an empty field in western Pennsylvania about 20 minutes by air from Wasington, DC. The attacks killed nearly 3,000 people from 93 nations. 2,753 people were killed in New York, 184 people were killed at the Pentagon and 40 people were killed on Flight 93. Tuesday, September 11th the City of Bessemer City conducted a Service of Remembrance for the first responders. This years’ service included a time of remembrance and gratitude to the ladies and gentlemen you made the until sacrifice for their Country.

Choosing a Continuing-Care Retirement Community Dear Savvy Senior, Can you give me some tips on picking an all-inclusive residential retirement community that offers independent housing along with assisted living and nursing care? My husband and I are looking to downsize and simplify, but we want our next move to be our last. Approaching 80 Dear Approaching, If you want your next move to be your final one, an all-inclusive retirement community – also known as a continuing-care retirement community (or CCRC) – is a great option to consider, but they aren’t cheap. CCRCs are different from other types of senior housing because they provide all levels of housing, services and care in one convenient location. While they vary greatly in appearance and services, most CCRCs offer apartments or sometimes single-family homes for active independent seniors. In addition, they also offer onsite assisted living for seniors who require help with basic living tasks like bathing, dressing or going to the bathroom, and nursing home care for residents when
their health declines. CCRCs also provide a bevy of resort-style amenities and services that include community dining halls, exercise facilities, housekeeping, and transportation, as well as many social and recreational activities. But be aware that all these services come at a hefty price. Most communities have entry fees that range from the low to mid-six figures, plus ongoing monthly fees that can range from around $2,000 to over $4,000 depending on the facility, services and the contract option you choose. With more than 2,000 CCRCs in operation throughout the U.S, finding a facility that fits your lifestyle, needs and budget will require some legwork. Here are some steps that can help you proceed. Make a list: Start by calling the Area Agency on Aging (call 800-677-1116 for contact information) in the area you want to live for a list of CCRCs, or search websites like Caring.com. Call the facilities: Once you’ve located
a few, call them to find out if they have any vacancies, what they charge and if they provide the types of services you want or need. Take a tour: Many CCRCs encourage potential residents to stay overnight and have a few meals in their dining hall. During your visit, notice the upkeep of the facility and talk to the current residents to see how they like living there. Also, check out the assisted living and nursing facilities, and find out how decisions are made to move residents from one level of care to another.
lower entry fees but limits long-term care services in the initial fee; and Type C, or fee-for-service contracts, which offer the lowest entrance fees but requires you to pay extra for long-term care if you need it. You also need to find out what yearly price increases you can expect? How much of your entry fee is refundable to you if you move or die? And what happens if you outlive your financial resources?
To check-up on a facility, call the state long-term care ombudsman (see LTCombudsman.org) who can tell you if the assisted living and nursing care services within the CCRC have had any complaints or other problems. You can also use Medicare’s nursing home compare tool at Medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare.
Research the CCRC: Find out who owns the facility and get a copy of their most recently audited financial statement and review it, along with the copy of the contract with your lawyer or financial advisor. Also get their occupancy rate. Unless it’s a newer community filling up, occupancy below 85 percent can be a red flag that the facility is having financial or management problems.
Review contracts and fees: Most CCRCs offer three types of contracts: Life-care, or Type A contracts, which have the highest entry fee but covers all levels of long-term care as needed; Type B, or modified contracts that have

KM, Crest fighting for first Kings Mountain High’s volleyball team posted Big South 3A Conference victories over Burns and Forestview last week to set up a showdown for first place with Crest yesterday at Donald L. Parker Gymnasium. Both teams carried undefeated conference records into the contest and the winner will end first round play as the BSC leader and favorite to win the regular season championship. Kings Mountain dropped a non-conference game last week to a powerful Clover, SC team but remained unscathed in the Big South with a 6-0 conference. The Lady Mountaineers took a 13-1 overall mark into yesterday’s game. The Lady Mountaineers defeated Burns Tuesday and Forestview Thursday, both by 3-0 scores. KM defeated Burns 25-9, 25-16 and 2510. Makena Deaton dished out seven assists and had 11 service points. Kyann Crocker had 15 service points and played well on defense. Layla Harris had eight assists and six service points, and Abbie Harris added 11 service points and three kills. Thursday’s win against Forestview was a little tougher with the Lady Mountaineers prevailing 25-11, 25-22 and 25-10. Lindsey Deaver provided seven kills and 12 service points. Layla Harris had 11 service points and did a good job setting the offense. Kyann Crocker had seven service points and played great defense. In JV action last week, the Lady Mountaineers defeated Burns 2-0 and Forestview 2-1. Against Burns, the scores were 25-14, 25-9. Lily Gold led the way with 16 service points and five kills. Rachel Johnson had six digs, Riley Carroll three kills, and Ashlyn Wood seven service points. At Forestview, the KM ladies won 25-17, 21-25 and 15-10. Riley Carroll had eight kills and six service points and Lily Gold provided 13 service points and did a good job setting the offense. The JVs carried a 5-1 conference and 10-4 overall mark into yesterday’s game with Crest.
Cramer Storm at KM Friday There’s another storm brewing that is expected to make landfall Friday at 7:30 p.m. at John Gamble Stadium in Kings Mountain. This time, it’s not a Florence. It’s the Stuart Cramer Purple Storm. Like Kings Mountain, the Storm is coming off its first loss of the season and eager to turn some destruction on the Mountaineers.
It will be the first Big South Conference game for both teams and probably a must win game for both if they expect to compete with the likes of Crest and Hunter Huss for the conference championship. Both teams dropped their loss last week to their biggest rival, Cramer to the South Point Red Raiders 33-7 and Kings Mountain to the Golden Lions of Shelby 28-23.
The final score at Cramer is a little misleading as the Storm and Raiders went neck and neck at 7-all in the first half before South Point blew the game open in the second half. In contrast, Kings Mountain fell behind by 21-3 at Shelby before rallying late and almost pulling out a victory. The Storm has a host of returning starters from last year’s team that went two rounds in
the state playoffs, including starting quarterback Luke Carpenter who has a 50 percent completion rate. Carpenter can look to a host of good receivers, including returning starters Kendall Karr, who is 6-4 and has caught 11 passes for 240 yards and three TDs, and Ethan Lurry, a wingback who catches a lot of passes out of the backfield.

Wade breaks career passing record KM kickers in Mountaineers 28-23 loss to Lions undefeated in BSC 3A
Kings Mountain High’s soccer team remained undefeated in Big South 3A Conference last week with victories over Stuart Cramer and North Gaston. On Monday, KM was hosting Cramer at Gamble Stadium when the game was called after seven minutes because of storms. The game resumed Tuesday and the Mountaineers went on to win 3-2. Stuart Cramer returned to KM to score two early goals and take a 2-1 lead. KM tied it at 2-all 30 minutes into the first half on a ball played to Christian Quevedo-Johns from Danny Carlee. KM scored 20 minutes into the second half to take a 3-2 lead that stood. Wednesday, the Mountaineers traveled to North Gaston and posted a 5-2 victory. The Mountaineers took an early lead off a See KICKERS, Page 4B
He would have preferred a victory, but Kings Mountain High senior quarterback Kaylon Wade broke the school’s all-time career passing record in the Mountaineers 28-23 non-conference loss to Shelby Friday in Shelby. The loss dropped the Mountaineers to 3-1 heading into the start of Big South 3A Conference play Friday at home against Stuart Cramer. Wade’s passing statistics weren’t up to par, but that was due mostly to a Shelby defense that was well prepared to put pressure on him while double-covering Mountaineers’ talented receivers Kobe Paysour and Christopher Brittain. Wade hit on 15 of 35 passes for 193 yards and threw his first two interceptions of the season. He was flushed out of the pocket on just about every passing play and had to scramble all over the field. Still, the effort put his season’s passing total to 1,032 yards this year and 4,260 for his career. That total broke the record of 4,131 held by Jonathan Clark in 2011-12. Wade and Clark are the only quarterbacks in school history to pass for over 4,000 yards.
Despite the loss on a night when he was in the sights of the Shelby defense, Kings Mountain quarterback Kaylon Wade became the all-time Mountaineer passing leader in Friday’s game at Shelby.
Wade, who was in on all three Mountaineer touchdowns Friday with two running and another on a pass to Kobe Paysour, also holds the school record for career touchdown passes with 46. Kings Mountain held the lead only briefly at Shelby, but made a strong effort to pull the game out in the fourth quarter. The Mountaineers held a big edge in statistics, but two lost fumbles and two interceptions aided the Shelby cause. A 32-yard field goal by Austin Browning on their first possession gave the Mountaineers an early 3-0 lead. But Shelby came back behind a strong passing attack of their own and held the lead from the 2:29 point of the first quarter. After recovering a fumble, the Lions had to go only 38 yards to score their first TD on a 5-yard run by Donye Fuller for a 7-3 lead. After a Mountaineer punt, the Lions roared again on a 61-yard touchdown pass from Isaiah Bess to Diavonni Daley for a 14-3 lead midway of the second quarter. After a long punt return, Fuller scored from 13 yards out to make it 21-3. See WADE, Page 4B

Kue’s 2-under 34 leads opening win Kings Mountain Middle School’s golf team opened its season last Tuesday at Kings Mountain Country Club with a victory over West Lincoln and Lincolnton. The Patriots, led by Ella Kue with a two-under-par 34, had a team score of 175 to West Lincoln’s 209 and Lincolnton’s 211.
Following Kue with placement scores for the Patriots were Bennett Davis and Caleb Marr with 46s and Hunter Cruise with a 49. Other KM scores were Cody Wright 53 and Hailey McCall 57. Kings Mountain was scheduled to play yesterday at Forest City Municipal.

Patriots shutout Shelby, Lady Patriots host East Lincoln today split first two Kings Mountain Middle School’s new head football coach Kenny Bridges will probably always cherish his first victory. It came Wednesday afternoon at John Gamble Stadium over arch rival Shelby, 16-0. The non-conference game officially opened the season for the Patriots who hope to begin another run for the Tri-County Conference championship this afternoon when they host East Lincoln at 5 p.m. The two county neighbors played hard but went into the half locked in a scoreless tie. Kings Mountain had made it as far as the Shelby 23 in the first half but gave up possession with a pass interception at the Shelby two. That would be the only threat by either team in the first half. Three plays into the third period, Kings Mountain recovered a fumble at the Shelby nine, and broke the ice with a five-yard touchdown run by Bryson Brown. Brown also ran a two-point conversion for an 8-0 lead. With just 27.5 seconds

Following the free kick, the Patriots drove 54 yards to score on an eight yard run by Caleb Holland to account for the final score. Aided by a pass interference call against the Pa-
triots, Shelby was able to reach the KM 10 yard line in the final minute but lost the ball on downs. Coach Bridges said he was pleased with the line play on both sides of the ball and cited Jaqalyn Sanders and Isiah Eskridge for their play on defense. The made numerous tackles and each recovered a fumble. Offensively, Brown and Holland led the way, and
Javian Smith played well on both offense and defense.
Kings Mountain Middle’s softball team defeated Lincolnton 16-1 and lost to North Lincoln 4-3 in eight innings last week. The Lady Patriots carried a 1-1 division record into a Tri-County Conference game at Burns yesterday. The Lady Patriots erased an early 1-0 deficit with 12 runs in the bottom of the third inning to roll over Lincolnton Tuesday. Kali Weaver pitched all four innings for the Patriots, striking out six. Kings Mountain ended up with 15 hits. Paige Bagwell led the KM plate attack with 4-for4, including a double and four runs batted in. Austyn Dixon and Weaver with three hits and three runs
scored, also had multiple hits for KM. Caroline Barber, Alayna Patrick, Lindsey Wilson, Cheyanne Reynolds and Sam Harrelson had a hit each. Kings Mountain had trouble pushing runners across the plate in the loss to North Lincoln. The Patriots left 11 runners on base including the potential tying and winning runs in the bottom of the eighth. The Patriots took a 1-0 lead in the second. After a single and stolen base, Caroline Barber scored on Paige Bagwell’s single.

KM JVs fall to Shelby, at Cramer Thursday After losing starting quarterback Blake Emory to a broken collarbone on the first play of the game, Kings Mountain’s JVs put up a good fight but fell to Shelby 36-20 Thursday night at Gamble Stadium. Four plays after the injury, the Lions Jamarus Hopper recovered a fumble at the KM 42 to set up a 20yard touchdown reception by Torian Arrington for a 7-0 lead, and the Lions were never headed. Kings Mountain did rebound briefly to cut the score to 7-6 on a six-yard quarterback sneak by Jonah Patrick, but more KM fumbles that set up two more Shelby TDs put the visitors in command for the rest of the night. Following KM’s TD the Lions quickly moved 49 yards in six plays to score on a one yard run by quarterback Tim Ruff for a 14-6 Shelby lead after one quarter. On the first play of the second quarter, Shelby recovered another fumble at the KM 32 and Ruff scored again from a yard out for a 21-6 Shelby lead.

Melton ace highlights senior golf tourney Kings Mountain’s Rashaard Brooks is picking up some of his game high 167 yards rushing in Thursday game with Shelby at Gamble Stadium. Photos by Gary Smart KM lost its third fumble in the final seconds of the first half, but this time KM’s Chance Cannon sacked the Shelby QB to end the half. The Mountaineers rebounded somewhat after halftime when Titus Phillips broke four tackles en route to a 60-yard touchdown run down the home sidelines, cutting the mar-
gin to 21-12. Shelby responded, scoring three touchdowns to go up 36-12 with 9:51 left in the game. Kings Mountain’s final score came with 6:28 remaining when freshman Rashaard Brooks scored from 10 yards out. Devin Pressley ran a two-point conversion. Kings Mountain drove
to the Shelby 12 late in the game but a high snap from center that ended up on the 28 took the Mountaineers out of range. Brooks finished as the game’s top rusher with 167 yards on 24 carries. Mark Thomasson had over 100 kick return yards. The Mountaineers travel to Stuart Cramer Thursday for a 7 p.m. game.
Ralph Justice and Lee Mayhew were the winners in last week’s Cleveland County Senior Golf Association rounds at Lincoln Country Club and Cherokee National, but the highlight of the week was a hole-in-one by Mike Melton on #14 at Cherokee National. Melton used a six-iron to ace the 147-yard hole, which was his first ever. Witnessing the shot were Elmer Black, Claude Lucas and Ralph Justice. At Lincolnton, Justice shot a three-over 75. Toby
Thrift took low net with a 63 (80-17). Miles Crouse was closest to the pin on #17 and Bill Crocker sank the longest putt on 18. At Cherokee National, Mayhew shot a 73 to take low gross. He shared low net with Elmer Black with 63s. Mayhew’s 10 handicap brought his 73 down to 63 to match Black’s 74 with an 11 handicap. Ralph Justice was closest to the pin on 17 and Don Peeler sank the longest putt on 18.

From Page 1B Kings Mountain receiver Quintin Davidson took a short pass from Wade and turned it into a 52-yard gain that, along with a 15-yard penalty against Shelby for roughing the passer, gave KM a first down at the Shelby 13. Wade kept the ball for a TD with 1:22 left in the half to cut the score to 21-10.
Wednesday, September 19, 2018
That score stood until the 2:23 mark of the third period when Wade scored on a twoyard run off a block from Damien Wilson to cut the difference to 21-16. Along the way Ricaylen Mack, who was playing for the first time since early in the first game of the year, rambled for 38 yards up the middle and Wade scrambled for 21 more. Shelby’s defense scored what would turn out to be the winning TD early in the
fourth quarter when Darian Davis picked up a fumble and returned it eight yards for a 28-16 lead. Receptions of 39 and 10 yards by Davidson were the key plays in a 71 yard KM drive that culminated with a 10-yard TD reception by Paysour with 1:02 remaining. The Mountaineers attempted an onside kick to get the ball back, but it went out of bounds and Shelby took a knee twice to seal the win
and break a three-game losing streak. Coach Greg Lloyd was disappointed in the loss, but is confident the Mountaineers will bounce back. “We kind of picked a bad night to have a bad game,” he said. “It wasn’t so much Shelby beating us as us beating ourselves. They played well and we didn’t. We made it a lot easier for them with our four turnovers. We just have to bounce back.”

CRAMER-KM From Page 1B The visitors also bring in other good running backs such as Tyrese Norris who is their leading rusher with 106 yards per game. Except for the second half against South Point last week, the Cramer defense has been exceptional, led by a strong linebacker corp. Deon Polk has 45 tackles in four games, and the Storm defense together has 11 sacks. Another big weapon is kicker Devin Baldwin who is averaging 50 yards on kickoffs and 43 on punts. He got off a 72-yard punt against South Point. Mountaineer coach Greg Lloyd expects a big challenge from the Storm. “They’re very good with a lot of speed,” he said. “They mix it up between running and passing. They have a Division One tight end who is a big weapon, a fast running back and a veteran quarterback who is a polished player. They have tons of potential and are one of many Big South teams that are very good this year. Every week’s going to be tough. If you don’t play well every week you won’t win.”

KM netters beat Cramer in BSC opener as our starting lineup is led by our first and second seeds, Natlie Lutz and Madelynn Frye,” Coach Rick Henderson said. Other players that went on to win were MC Johnson, Sarah Bell and Kassie Johnson. The only loss came when Jasmine Guy came up short against a tough opponent at the fifth seed. “During the middle of Jasmine’s match she actually pinched a nerve
in the middle of her side, which caused pain and discomfort throughout her match,” Henderson noted. At present, the girls have a three-year conference record of 22-0. “I don’t look for our girls to let up, especially now that we are in the mix of conference play,” Henderson said. “Our girls have to maintain their confidence over the next three weeks or so, but I continue to share with them that
they can’t let their guard down simply because we have to stay focused at the task at hand and that’s one match at a time. As for the health of our team, it appears the only one ailing is Jasmine Guy. It seems as though Natalie Lutz, Madelynn Frye and MC Johnson have overcome their ailments, so hopefully they will continue to lead our team to our fourth consecutive conference championship.”
Kings Mountain was scheduled to face North Gaston Tuesday and will host Hunter Huss Thursday at 4 p.m. “I encourage the public and tennis enthusiasts to come out and watch some quality tennis,” Henderson said. KM 8, SC 1 Singles Natalie Lutz (KM) d. Laura Parrish 6-0, 6-0; Madelynn Frye (KM) d. Kendall Conrad 6-1,

Kings Mountain Soccer Club announces three competitive teams (Special to the Herald) Soccer has had roots in Kings Mountain since the late 1980’s. Many teams have come and gone through local recreation leagues, middle school, and high school soccer. There have even been attempts to start club/competitive level teams on occasion. There has been much success and plenty of failure. Soccer has been a growing sport for a long time. The sport became popular when Dan Potter came to town in the late 1980’s. Since then, soccer has become one of the most played sports in the area. While soccer in Kings Mountain has become popu-
lar over the years, one of the dire problems with soccer in general (and many sports) in the U.S. is that if your child is ready for the next level of competition, say the next level above recreation, you’re talking a lot of money and a lot of time to make it happen. As one soccer research group put it: “The current youth soccer system across America often excludes low-income and nonsuburban families from participating at the same rate as higher-income families. “U.S. kids don’t play soccer with bare feet on hardscrabble barrio fields where creativity dominates the action and with few grown-ups in sight. Instead, too many American kids play soccer in high-tech cleats on manicured
Linda Newsome
suburban fields, where they stand around quietly until an adult (often paid) runs them through repetitive drills – all to prepare for an expensive tournament three states away.” According to Tyler Deaton (Founder and Executive Director of Kings Mountain Soccer Club) in response to the above quote: “This is exactly the problem with U.S. soccer. So many are excluded from the game in because it’s generally far too expensive and requires far too much of the family from a time perspective. A single mom working two jobs can’t afford for her child, who may have incredible soccer skills, to play at a more challenging and competitive level because it’s too expensive and re-
quires too much time in terms of the travel and inaccessible location(s) of practices and games. At Kings Mountain Soccer Club, we are trying to change this for players in the greater Kings Mountain, Bessemer City, and Cherryville areas. We want skilled, upand-coming players to have access to professional training and competitive games without the barriers of high cost and distant travel.” The Kings Mountain Soccer Club began in January with a simple Player Development Program aimed to be the most affordable and accessible PDP possible in the greater Kings Mountain by providing training resources and environments for young, inspired players to reach their highest potential. This Player
Development Program has quickly grown into three different parts of Kings Mountain Soccer Club: Academy, Camps, and Competitive. With over 150 players attending the soccer camps and additional 60 players involved in the academy, the Executive Leadership Team knew the next step might come sooner than later. In July of this year, they held tryouts for six different teams with ages ranging from 6 to 11. They were able to field three high quality teams in the following age groups: U9 Boys, U9 Girls, and U12 Boys. Deaton had this to say about these teams and coaches: “I am so proud to play a role in this Soccer Club. We have committed coaches, talented up-and-coming players,
fantastic parent support, and a community that is standing behind us. When the day is done, we want one thing: For everyone to have a ‘players-first’ focus. To have a ‘players first’ focus, we need quality coaches that are committed to ongoing training, parents who are committed to learning the game and playing regularly with their child at home, and a community who is behind us in the sense that when we need fields or access to facilities, organizations and local leaders are willing to work with us to help. We are very thankful for the support and cooperation of the Kings Mountain YMCA, the City of Kings Mountain, Kings Mountain Middle School and High School. Without their support, we would struggle to
exist. We are looking forward to being here for the long haul - part of the community and for the community.” The KM Crown Competitive Teams begin their first games on Saturday, September 22 in Charlotte. You can learn more about the KM Crown and the Kings Mountain Soccer Club at kmsoccer. com. Here’s an overview the recently announced KM Crown Competitive teams: KM Crown U9 Girls Sponsor: Arthur Services, Inc.

Jarvis, Joseph Johnson, Vance Johnson, Kayden Schwister, Alex Suarez, Sergio Suarez, Brayden Harvey. QUOTES FROM KM CROWN COACHES & SOME BOARD MEMBERS: Jeff Carley (KMSC Board Member & Academy Coach) “What am I most excited about regarding the future of Kings Mountain Soccer Club?” ...Improving access to high quality of soccer experiences in our community for reasonable cost. This will open collegiate scholarship possibilities for ALL of our community’s kids, especially those who could not otherwise afford this opportunity due to financial or distance limitations. Mark Tolan (U9 Boys Assistant Coach) I’m love coaching with
KM Crown because not only are they devoted to the development of the players’ skill but also to the development if the players’ life and character. I have full confidence in the leadership of KM Crown and their ability to see the club continue to grow in numbers, community impact and level of competition. Sarah Drennan (U9 Girls Assistant Coach) I am most excited about coaching with KM Crown because of the kids. I love getting to watch them play a sport that I have grown up playing too. It’s so fun getting to coach these girls and build a relationship with them. David McDaniel (U9 Girls Assistant Coach & Academy Coach) I’m excited to be coaching for the KM Crown because

I feel Kings Mountain has a lot of talented kids who are excited about soccer and it’s a blessing for me to watch these kids improve and learn the game of soccer. Coach Deaton and Coach Potter have done extremely well in promoting soccer in Kings Mountain. Big things are coming to Kings Mountain Soccer. Dan Potter (U9 Boys Head Coach, Academy Coach, President) I am excited about coaching with the KM Crown because of the excitement that surrounds these young players and their parents. To be able to serve up some serious soccer training and watch the players blossom with confidence as they conquer new skills! It is an honor to serve them! Coach Gramps/Potter
Dave Davis (U12 Boys Head Coach) I am most excited about coaching with the KM CROWN because of the kids. The will to want to be the best they can be and to learn the skills but at the same time believe in each other’s skills as a TEAM. Tyler Deaton (U9 Girls Head Coach, Academy Coach, Executive Director) I am most excited about how there are now local pathways for development for players and coaches right here in Kings Mountain. These pathways will continue to widen and deepen in the years to come and players, coaches, and current (and future) teams will reap so many benefits as a result of these opportunities that seek to challenge players and advance.
