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 andshined 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 bak on the four state championship teams, Coach Poss remarked,  They re like having four children, they are all different. Youlove 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 lineman Jon Haney, who led the defense with a 127 tackles, 25 for losses, was named the team s most valuable player.  Jon participated in every practice and every drill as if he were playing in a championship game. He s a dedicated player who worked hard during the off-season and showed up in the weight room every day, even during vacations, stated Coach Poss.<br><br><br><br><br><br>" <br>I have known Coach Bobby Poss for almost 20 years.
