Broadway St., Forest City FAST FAST WAY WAY ©Community First Media RUTHERFORD WEEKLY SPORTS By KEVIN CARVER R-S Central, TJCA Get Big Gridiron Wins Defense, both R-S Central and Thomas Jefferson had it last Friday as they notched huge victories in a big weekend of conference football. R-S Central and Matt Atchley's overtime rushing touchdown gave R-S Central (5-3, 3-2) its biggest win of the year on the gridiron in a 21-14 outlasting of a fairly strong Kings Mountain (6-3, 3-3) team last week. The Mountaineers had averaged 30 points per game this season, but R-S Central turned them away a number of times last Friday to prevail in the extra session. The only drawback for the Hilltoppers came by putting the ball on the ground twice in key situations, but Juwan Watkins, Tyrese Tate also scored rushing touchdowns on the night for Central. R-S Central helped their chances of making the playoffs with that win. They will host East Burke on Friday (10/24) and still have three games left to put themselves in the postseason and better their seed. In Avondale, Mason Martin crossed the goal line twice and once again, Thomas Jefferson slid past another opponent on the season. Last week, they defeated Community School of Davidson 14-12 at home. Right now, The Gryphons are only allowing 17 points per game in league play, while the visiting Yellow Jackets are scoring 48 points per contest in league play. So naturally, something has to give this Friday. The game of the week has to be at Thomas Jefferson (6-2, 2-0), who could further a solid grasp on their fi rst Southern Piedmont 1A Conference title. However, Bessemer City (6-2, 2-0) stands in the way this Friday (10/24) at home. Honing in on Cedric Mackey will be the job of the Gryphons defense as Mackey has run for nearly 900 yards this season. East Rutherford (4-4, 2-3) keeps their playoff hopes alive as they downed Draughn this past week fairly easily, 35-12. Kameron Garrison, D.J. Miller, Saibyn Ruff and Calvin Camp each had rushing touchdowns, while camp added a nifty punt for the other score of the night. Don't forget, on Halloween night (10/31/14) East Rutherford will host R-S Central. Before that can happen, the Cavaliers must fi rst travel a short distance to Crest (8-0, 5-0), who has been averaging a winning margin of 35.6 points per game this season. Chase (1-7, 0-5) will be back in action following the bye against Kings Mountain at home. Meanwhile, traveling south of the border in Chesnee, the Golden Eagles fi nd themselves 7-1, 4-0. Chesnee has now won seven straight after coming back to beat Powdersville 26-14 last week at home. Chesnee nabbed three second half interceptions and J.J. Kane scored a touchdown on one of those Powedersville picked off passes. Chesnee will go to Blacksburg this coming Friday. Boys Soccer If Thomas Jefferson beats Community School of Davidson on October 20, then they should win the 1A Southern Piedmont Conference. They would follow that up with a meeting at home against winless Cherryville before the playoffs begin. Both Chase (13-3-1, 12-2) and R-S Central (11-5, 11-3) will make the soccer 2A playoffs, but they aren't fi nished fi ghting for the second seed amongst the South Mountain Athletic Conference. R-S Central has won fi ve matches in a row, while Chase has won fi ve of their last six. The only Trojan loss during that time was to R-S Central. Volleyball R-S Central (10-7) made the 2A volleyball playoffs, seeded 23 out of 32 teams in the west. The Lady Hilltoppers gave Salisbury a fi t, but lost in fi ve sets to the Lady Hornets. Thomas Jefferson also found a spot in the 1A west playoffs, seeded 27 of 32 teams. While they fought tough, the Lady Gryphons fell (17-25, 14-25, 16-25) to West Montgomery. Thomas Jefferson ends the season 9-12. Finally, Martinsville is this coming weekend and I will follow up what goes on there in what sets up to be an exciting fi nal Nextel Cup short track race of the season. Just this past weekend, Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kyle Busch were all eliminated from championship contention. All three are surprise considering Junior has been consistently good all season. Johnson normally is the driver people are chasing by this time late in the season and Busch was sitting second in points coming into last weekend. Of the eight drivers left in contention, Brad Keselowski is likely the one to beat. Jeff Gordon and Kevin Harvick are there as well. However, I am going to pick Joey Logano to win this weekend at Martinsville. ©Community First Media Paid for by the Committee to Elect Alan Toney It is time for everyone to take a stand in the fi ght for our county.

Chimney Rock at Chimney Rock State Park will host its biannual Shutterbugs Nature Photography Workshop led by award-winning WNC photographer Jeff Miller on Saturday and Sunday, November 1-2, 2014, from 8:30am-4:00pm on both days in the Park. Chimney Rock's fall colors are expected to peak around this time, presenting a vibrant landscape with yellow, red and orange hues for leaf peeping shutterbugs. Unique geological rock formations, up to 75-mile views of Lake Lure and Hickory Nut Gorge and a 404-foot- tall waterfall, along with diverse plant and animal life, mark Chimney Rock as a top destination for photography in Western North Carolina. Miller's two- day comprehensive workshop is designed for beginner and experienced photographers and costs $90 ($65 for Annual Passholders) for day one; $100 ($75 for Annual Passholders) for day two, or $170 ($135 for Annual Passholders) for both days. Fees include instruction, lunch and an Annual Pass for non-Passholders. To register, call (800) 277-9611 or register online at chimneyrockpark.com/events. "Chimney Rock is one of WNC's most spectacular backdrops for photographers, from its kaleidoscope of fall colors to its dramatic landscapes. It's not every day your lens can frame an iconic 535-million-year-old rock with long-range panoramic views or the second highest waterfall on the east coast," said Jeff Miller. Expert Instruction. Jeff Miller's award-winning work has been published in regional, state and national publications and exhibited in galleries and landmark buildings throughout central and western NC. Miller's two-day, comprehensive workshop will offer an intimate class size with 1-on-1 personal attention, guidance and critiquing to maximize learning opportunities and personal growth. His format strikes a thoughtful balance of classroom instruction with in-the-field guided photography sessions. Topics vary from camera equipment and photography techniques to post- production and exhibition, tailored to individual levels of experience. Participants will learn how to shoot scenes from wide-angle to telephoto, including traditional flower portraits, intimate landscapes and vistas. They will also learn about some of the post-processing tools available to organize, optimize and print digital images. It is highly recommended that photographers bring a digital SLR camera (with media cards, extra batteries, and user manuals), a tripod, and their favorite lenses to the workshop.
