YVC CHAMPIONS!
On Friday, November 4, the Albemarle Bull
dogs ended their conference season with a per
fect 11-0 record, a feat not accomplished at AHS
since 1957. Having played one of the most
special games of their lives, the Bulldog team
members had a few words to say about their great
victory.
Mike “Deuce” Carrickhoff - So far, that game
was the biggest of my life. This was the game I
have been dreaming of playing in since my fresh
man year. Two undefeated teams playing in the
last week of the season, in front of6,000 devoted
fans, for the conference championship and we
pulled it off in overtime. I haven’t been on a team
that has pulled together to become a “FAMILY”
as much as this one. I'd like to thank our
"FAMILY," our coaches, the booster club, the
fans, and especially Coach Caster for a dream
come true.
Jonathan Pegues - It was a game I will never
forget. It was a game of big plays and great
blocking on the line.
Ken Covington - It was the best and biggest
game I have ever been in since players used their
noses as face masks.
Wesley Burris - I am proud to be a part of the
first team ever to come out of a regular season
with an 11-0 record.
Brico Flake - I, myself, had a few butterflies at
first, but as the game started, I felt more comfort
able as if it were a regular game. This was a great
experience for the team andmyself to go through.
The most memorable thing will be the pass I
caught, and scoring the winning touchdown with
the help of Ced and Tory.
Brian Wilson - Hard work really does pay off.
Travis Caster - This game was dedicated
totally to Jeff. It was great for our team to beat
my old teammates, but we still have five more
steps in the ladder of success. I would personally
like to congratulate our family for a great game.
Zach Harrison - These Dogs have karma.
Robby Bennett - The game was full of adversity.
6,000 people cheered. We won with discipline,
dedication, desire, pride, and heart. 28-21 says it
all.
Cocoa McKinney -1 felt that we were ready to
do the job that we had to do so we went out and
gave it our best.
Gresham Wilhelm - When North Rowan scored
with three minutes left in the game, I knew we
would score again, and the belter team would
come out on TOP!!! >
Cedric Baldwin -1 didn't know what to think,
with all the jjeople there. I couldn't tell if it was
a college game or what, but when Brico scored
that wiiming touchdown and I gave a block, I
NOVEMBER 1994
knew we had won.
Mondarius Henry - We finally earned our re
spect, and at the same time kicked some new
flava in ya ear.
Larry Lynch -1 think this game came down to
the team that wanted it more. We got the biggest
win inourcareer for Jeff, our fans, and our whole
Bulldog family.
Antonio Lilly - I couldn’t believe it! All the hard
work we put into practice came down to one big
play and boom, the game was over and i t paid off.
PJ. Kluttz - It was the biggest game in the state.
Two undefeated teams were playing. You have
to be ready for the big game. If you can’t get up
for it, you might as well stay at home. This is
what we practiced for, a chance at the YVC title.
Alvis James -1 felt like a champion because I
knew we were going down in history.
