King City wasn't about to give up, and took a two-touchdown lead heading into the fourth quarter. Just like the week before, nobody panicked. Through months of lifting we knew we could accomplish anything with our best effort. We chipped away at their lead and the defense kept them scoreless the rest of the way through the fourth quarter. With just 38 seconds remaining we put the ball into the end zone one more time and secured our victory 10-26-DeKalb's first state championship in school history!<br>The feeling gained from such a victory is indescribable. This was what we had been hoping, praying and working for all year. We worked so hard to get there, putting in countless hours in the weight room and dedicating ourselves to practice. This is the biggest accomplishment of our lives thus far. We will never forget what happened out on that field. It is a memory that will last a lifetime. at perennial district champion Charlotte paved the way to an 8-2 season. Record-holding seniors like Victor Cabral (Ga. Southern), Rob Richter (Elon), and Brandon Marshall were able to taste the sweetness of success after years of bitter defeat. Their enthusiasm, effort and tempo in the weight room spread to others in the program, and the bar measuring excellence in the weight room continued to rise. <br>As success in the strength program grew, the word spread throughout the school s other sports. The ladies sprinters & jumpers began lifting right alongside the guys. Graduated senior Danielle Jones went from a 29 foot triple jump her junior year, to winning the district at 34 feet after not missing a workout during the summer. Rachel Threlkeld (Jr.) went from long jumping in the low 14 s to 17 feet, while looking to break into the 59 s in the 400m. The throwers also saw gains as Yaisel Aguilar (Jr.) broke her PR in the shotput by 3 feet after being in a lifting class with Coach Dollar. Threlkeld, Aguilar, and Jessica Skower (Soph.) used the added speed and power to lead the volleyball team to a district runner-up spot as well.<br> The summer was filled with all kinds of activities. Senior QB (a Southern Illinois University signee) Stanley Bryant spent part of his summer in South Africa on an Athletes in Action mission trip. Twenty-four lineman went to Down and Dirty camp, while seventeen skill players went to the Bishop-Dulligan passing camp. Five days a week for two hour sessions the Eagles pounded the weights, did plyometrics and box jumping, and worked on foot-speed and quickness using dots, hurdles, and form running. Senior DB, Al Green (Liberty signee) saw his total in the three cores explode almost 200 pounds, while gaining fifteen pounds and shaving two tenths off of his forty time.<br><br>It s Not Over Yet<br><br>Fall 2000 saw another playoff run for the Golden Eagles with a 7-3 season (3 losses by a total of only 12 points to teams with a 29-1 combined record). Naples defeated Charlotte on the Sunshine Network (broadcast throughout the southeast) in week 3, forcing 6 turnovers and blocking 2 punts. The offense set a new school record for points in a season with 416. Four players received all-state recognition, and for the second year in a row, Naples had the 5-A district player of the year (QB Stanley Bryant = 1,594 passing-17 TD s, 399 rushing-9 TD s). Two years of Berkut power and speed equaled the same number of playoff appearances and city championships.<br> Records continue to fall for the Eagles as their quest for a state championship continues. Winter workouts for 2001 became introspective as Coach Kram
