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 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 player came to the Renaissance Hotel decked out in tuxedos for a high-class dinner/awards ceremony. The city Mayor and other community leaders att not so dynamically obvious, machines would have snuffed our free weights entirely.<br>Second, the advent of the strength coach played a significant role in doing things right. Before the strength coach, it was usually administrators or the football coach who made strength-training decisions. By the early 1980 s nearly all major colleges had a strength and conditioning coach. Boyd Epley of Nebraska, an ex-track athlete, started the National Strength and Conditioning Associations (NSCA) in the late 1970 s. Books and publications like the NCSA and BFS Journal were being published. As a result, a more knowledgeable strength and football coach emerged. No longer were vast ajorities of coaches gullible.<br>Machine people still get asked to speak at clinics because they pay for booth space, but recently it has become embarrassing. Football coaches will make jokes and speak out during a machine presentation. To stay in business, the machine people have softened their claims considerably.
