"I kept telling them not to let it bother them," recalls Neil, "but the psychological block about women and weight training definitely had to be addressed to get on with the program."<br>Bob Haeger, who has two daughters who swim for Dale and Mark, recalls the adjustment as gradual. "The girls wanted to do the program but were reluctant because they didn't know what it was like to lift weights. They were constantly saying,  Gee Dad, this really hurts--we don't know if we're doing this right.' They were hesitant and a little fraid of the unknown." As a parent with little weight training experience of his own, Bob said he shared his daughters' concern about injury at first. However, once they got over the initial soreness from the weight workouts, and with lots of encouragement from Neil, Bob recalls his daughters began to get "really excited" about the new training and their newfound strength gains.<br>The addition 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 beter 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 spent 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 playe
