A.C. Reynolds proved that they could dominate more than just teams in Western North Carolina.<br>Most great champions have a tough climb before they make it to the top. The Rockets were not an exception, as they were humbled after nine straight wins when their dreams of being undefeated were shattered by Asheville with an oh-so-close 16-14 loss. They realized losing was no fun. To make matters worse, the Rockets quarterback, Chris Mott, was diagnosed with Lupus and could no longer play. He spent ten days in the hospital and from then on players wore a small #12 on their uniforms in remembrance of thei teammate. Vince Lombardi once said,  When the going gets tough the 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 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 teelers Iron Curtain. In sixteen games played during the season the Rockets had nine shutouts and onecently passed by its school district, Smyrna High School will soon have a room exclusivey devoted to sports conditioning. It will be approximately 30 by 70 feet, and will allow more students to train at once.<br>Rising Stars<br><br>Besides the overall improvement in the teams performance, there are many athletes that Lloyd says merit individual recognition. One is senior Andre Mears. A member of the varsity football and basketball teams, Mears is ranked in te top 15th percentile of his class acadeically.  Andre epitomizes what an Eleven should be, says Lloyd.  He s a leader in the weight room, and he is always willing to help teach and motivate new athletes in the program. He s also a hard worker, and this year improved his 40 ime by 2/10ths, and added 65 pounds to his Hex bar max and 95 pounds to his parallel squat. <br>Another standout is Justin Ritter, a junior who increased his bench press 60 pounds this past year to break an APAWPA world record for his age group (255 pounds at 165 pounds bodyweight). Another junior, Thomas Wright, increased his power clean by 60 ounds and his squat by 75 pounds last year.  After a discussion with clinician Bobby Poss, I began holdinrice for this knowledge. They also lost sight of any sociological impact they might have had and became like the men, obsessed about their own egos and muscle size. What choice did they have? they couldn t go back to being feminine. The public withdrew their support, the sport faded, and the men in the Weider organization replaced women s bodybuilding with women s fitness, which is just an excuse to watch women perform sexy dances and parade around for the men. They just happen to be very well-built wmen. The best contests for women today are the tri-fitness contests that involve a strength component, judged on a woman s lifting ability or her speed on an agility course, or both. When this is combined with a beauty component, the contest has meaning for the women to feel that they are athletes judged on their training and dedication.<br><br>BFS: Your first pub
