E@=ƬIJCvA>s^dq:dӊ<;"s'K#hԿ%s][Hhhe tough get going, and that s exactly what the Rockets did. They rebounded and adapted their offense. Back-up quarterback Chad Davis started his first game in the play-off season.<br>This is the letter quarterback Chris Mott, who started 22 varsity games for the Rockets, wrote while in the hospital. <br> Dear Coaches and Rockets, <br><br>Thank you all for everything you did for me while I was in the hospital. Nothing made me feel better than to see my coaches and teammates walk in to see me. To know you were all thinking of me all the time meant a lot. Even after my biopsy, I heard we beat South Rowan because Israel took time to call and tell me. To see all the #12 s on your uniforms let me know that you cared and that I would have rather pent the last six years playing football with nobody else in the world. I love all of you. Now get me a stinkin ring!<br> Love Chris <br><br>The Rockets defense was as tough and mean as the old Pittsburgh Steelers Iron Curtain. In sixteen games played during the season the Rockets had nine shutouts and only gave up 77 total points! After one loss and some trials to overcome, the Rockets stepped up the tempo in the playoffs. Their defense was ranked #1 in the state for the second straight year. Probably their most spectacular game of the season was against the forth-ranked team in the country, Richmond County. The Rockets traveled to Richmond s turf and shined like the champions they were. They made their mark when they beat Richmond County 13 - 10, ending their 44 game winning streak. From there they advanced to play for the 4-A state championship. The Rockets defense gave up just 17 points in a 5-game playoff run!<br>Coach Poss went down in the history books for producing A.C. Reynold s 1st state title in football and was the first man in the history of the state to win state titles at three different schools. Coach Poss was named,  1999 Coach of the Year by the Asheville Citizen-Times. Reflecting back on the four state championship teams, Coach Poss remarked,  They re like having four children, they are all different. You love all four of them. <br>The Rockets celebrated their season s success in style. Each player came to the Renaissance Hotel decked out in tuxedo and turned into great lessons about what is important in life. mitment to the BFS program as a major force behind their team s greatness.  Two players who were starters on the offensive line hadn t even playe football the previous year, and three of the other members on the offensive line weren t even able to start on the Junior Varsity team. They got started with BFS. BFS made these young men effective players and allowed them to make a major contribution to our team.<br> I remember reading a quote attributed to the legendary coach of the Dallas Cowboys, Tom Landry. He said,  Coaching is getting players to do what they don t want to do so that they can become what they ve only dreamed of becoming. With the BFS program it doesn t take much to get them to want to do it. There are immediate rewards: they are breaking records right away, automatically establishing new goals. It s so exciting and reassuring to know that there is a resource like BFS available to coaches to help them guide <br>their kids to become the players  they have only dreamed <br>of becoming. <br><br>What the Players at East Provide*:JZjz ? 1UQ*(&# pqت\U8U( թObG*N1U2F$N&Pse͊k(2jǀ<1J8q1Lp^8`bn5m.QzG$H@6A{r0\hZAR4wEI#Ɣ_'#7 -ثF/~M9"RH,zki.l7ZvH)*@'9eY,6C ZBK:5T{SlOշUon8Î'Nd8N&5(Y6]7͊@R@P*I;`C1iiZ,,\4}ҢAmE EV///[][+ťRؙͽ%!V4 f諪F}n<2|,l-frE5`#ԚUd!{aԨےεN@s;Fzh+'׃C!_g:BFS&^-3HCqW7yz72YbfdIPEn!%f.;ֵ*:, A"?gKH-8`#bcMǬ3 q*eS/s79_AyHch&A䤷8|kŬ.y/$|<[rJM_P;u:ĎʉjxOAiʺՁ\bOOtId`hGV˄rpqLb|B6;=^1Ymui?1XPl::gw&_Ƚy$0W=Oߍ`8cguS 7YW'5GUWY&({&h'b  ]:Y.VC]GJ6FIX38CӮ4J'Ɲُl865a,mIf ioo' EY\41Cy+x0 Ӭ,-qtc핐2>YԔ4SASfq" cU2e:w? 4o
