His added strength helped him lead the team in hitting with a .429 average while adding 20 doubles, 5 home runs and 50 RBI. This third baseman was named to the All-Southern Conference 1st team. <br><br>CARLOS CASTILLO- This 5'9 , 150 pound freshman added 20 pounds to his frame to end his first season at MDCC at 170 pounds. As an infielder Carlos batted .352 and added 19 doubles, 5 triples, 4 home runs and 47 runs batted in to the team stats. He was named to the All-Southern Conference 2nd Team. The Chicago White Sox drafted him in the 22nd round but he opted to return to MDCC for his sophomore year.<br>About the progress and accomplishments of his players Coach Hertz informed us,  It is no coincidence that your presentation of the BFS Program was extremely instrumental in the results produced by these players and other members of last year's team. Thirteen members of this year's squad were named to FCCAA All-Southern Conference Teams. Thanks again, so much, for all of your help. All of us a MDCC are looking forward to using the BFS Program again for the 1998-99 season. The Falcons definitely had a great season and plans to continue on in excellence. It just goes to show, dedication, discipline, and desire can make dreams come true.d 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 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>
