Davis replied,  Yes, without hesitation. He knew there were still problems in his community with kids drinking and doing drugs.<br><br>A Magic Moment<br><br>When Coach Shepard arrived in Glenelg, the tragedy of J.T. was still on the minds of the parents, students and faculty. As it turned out, the date coincided with the funeral for one of Shepard s former players, an All-State running back, from his own hands-on coaching days. He had died in an accidental gas leak in a camper while hunting with his son, a ninth grader who was already turning heads as a football star. <br><br><br>Shepard missed the services to make his appointment at Glenelg High. <br>His story resonated in unison with Glenelg s ongoing grief over J.T. and there were tears of sadness, reconciliation and joy shared during the workshop.<br>Perhaps it was just a chance meeting of minds and emotions. Or perhaps it was destiny that the Be An 11 Program really hit its mark. Which one, no one can answer.<br>Parents, JV and varsity players, counselors, coaches and faculty were invited to attend. And they did. The support and enthusiasm was at an all-time high.<br> From that point on everything we did was directed around being an eleven, recalls Davis.  We had signs in the locker room. It was just about the only talk in the weight room aRockets 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 tuxedos for a high-class dinner/awards ceremony. The city Mayor and other community leaders attended to honor the state champions. Money was donated that bought each player a championship ring. All-State defensive linema
