CLEVELAND COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK CREST CHARGERS Foster has covered over 15 State Championships combined in the Carolinas in his years as a high school football broadcaster and reporter, with the majority of those involving Cleveland County teams. The Burns Bulldogs (4-0) The Bulldogs kept their perfect season going after a 31 to 14 victory last week against Chase. Burns' Magale Burris, a usual leader on defensive, was called on and fi lled in marvelously as a rusher on offense after replacing an injured Aaron Hill in the 2nd quarter. Magale became the rushing star of the night with a touchdown and 189 yards. Credit was given to the Burns offensive line, who was praised for a great evening of blocking. Regular starting Quarterback Cam Barbee was back and had a 50-yard touchdown pass to one of his favorite receivers BJ Hopper. Kicker Zach Benfi eld got the Bulldog faithful on their feet by adding a 29-yard fi eld goal to the score. On defense, Burns got 3 sacks from Stormy (causing a storm) Mosteller, while as a unit they caused several Chase fumbles. This win gets the Bulldogs off to a good start in SMAC (South Mountain Athletic Conference) action that gets much tougher this Friday. This week a Cleveland County rivalry game takes place when the Dawgs travel to Kings Mountain. Last year's meeting was won by the Mountaineers. Can Burns fi nd a way to remain undefeated? The Crest Chargers (2-1) Draughn may not be one of the stronger competitors in the SMAC (South Mountain Athletic Conference), but any time you go on the road and you're the defend- ing conference and state champion – you'll be targeted and have to be ready to play. Crest did just that, as they shutout Draughn last Friday 27-0. Charger run- ning backs that got into the end zone in this contest were Jarius Strong with a 2-yard touchdown, Tavion Brintley with an 8-yard touchdown, and Quarterback, the upstate S.C. Transfer, Peyton Kemmerline with a 1-yard score. Peyton also threw a short 5-yard touchdown pass to Receiver Tyshun Odom. Crest continued using a two quarterbacks system with Cameron Peeler also behind center at times. Cam threw for 96 yards, while Peyton had 76 yards. Defensively for the Chargers, the very versatile Michael McCluney, a safety, had an interception. Looking Ahead- Crest meets TC Roberson this week, a team they knocked off last season 38-10. Roberson enters the game unbeaten at 4-0, including wins over Freedom and East Rutherford. The Kings Mountain Mountaineers (3-1) The Mountaineers must have wanted to prove something to themselves after scoring no points in a loss at Forestview the week before. A fi nal score of 62-16 did the talking as Kings Mountain got back on track taking it to East Rutherford. Kings Mountain had nearly 500-yards of total offense after scoring 9 touchdowns, which was all nine times the offense had possession of the pigskin during the game. Contributing to the scoring was Running Back Darian McClain, who had 4 of those 9 TD's, including a 55-yard score. In all, Darian had over 100-yards on just 12 carries. As a team, the Mountaineers had 382 rushing yards and 108 in passing. The big fullback Trevon Wilson added a touchdown, as did reserves Mike Toms and Kaylon Wade. Lets not forget that the offense was led by their Quarterback Darian McClain, who early in the game connected with Kavin Mosely on a 21-yard touchdown pass. The KM defense did their part sacking Chase's quarterback 4 times. This Friday, in what will be their second South Mtn. Athletic Conference (SMAC) game of the season, Kings Mountain host county rival Burns, who they defeated in 2015, 14-0.

This included Quarterback Malik Sarratt's continuing of his sensational season, completing 6 of 11 passes in the Lions spread offensive attack with 3 passes for touchdowns and one short run for a rushing TD.
