2005 ALL CONFERENCE
The following Cougars received All-MAC
honors last season:
Ben Pless, Drew Baker, Neville Hayes,
Quinn Kirkland, Josh Israel, Vincent
Henry, Kadeem Morgan, Rico Parks
Derelle McMorris.
Coach of the year: Danny Wilkins
Co-offensive players of the year:
Crezdon Butler and Johnny White
Why do some players have
names on the back of their
jerseys?
Former Head Coach Lou Fogle
established the “Goal Getter” incentive
program at Asheville High a number of
years ago to reward hard work in the
preseason. Coach Wilkins has continued
this tradition by establishing individual
running, weightlifting and overall
character/attendance-related
requirements for each player
participating in summer workouts and
throughout the season. On a specified
“test day,” players best efforts are
recorded by the coaches as they try to
meet their goals in the bench press,
clean, and 800 meter run. Those
meeting the goals get to wear their
names on their game jerseys during the
season. Coach Fogle’s idea has been
copied by a number of schools. It is said
that imitation is the sincerest form of
flattery.
Head Coach Danny Wilkins
Danny Wilkins begins his 28th season in coaching and 14th year at Asheville High (7th as head
coach) in 2006. His career record as a head coach is 69-49-1, including 64-15 at AHS where he has
served as head coach of the Cougars since 2000. Wilkins was named 2003 Mountain Athletic 3-A
Conference and Western North Carolina Coach of the Year. In 2004, he took them to the state
semifinals for the third consecutive season. In 2005, he led the Cougars to an undefeated season
and their first NCHSAA Championship since 1922, earning Associated Press Coach of the Year and
Mountain Athletic Conference Coach of the Year.
Under Wilkins, the Cougars have lost only six times in 57 games over the past four seasons - and four of those losses were to
eventual state champions Ashbrook (Class 3-AA in 2002), Reynolds (Class 4-A in 2002), South Point (Class 3-A in 2003), and
Concord (Class 3-A in 2004). Wilkins is a graduate of Enka High School and Western Carolina University.

2006 Information
SATURDAY COUGARS
The following Cougar alumni are currently playing collegiate
football:
Crezdon Butler – Clemson University
Neville Hayes – Western Carolina University
Michael Hines – Western Carolina University
Tony Koone – Louisiana Tech
Kadeem Morgan – Western Carolina University
Ben Pless - Sewanee
Johnny White – UNC Chapel Hill
Preseason Streaks on the Line:
15 Consecutive Wins (5th in state)
68 Consecutive Games in Double Figures (2nd)
129 Consecutive Games Not Shut Out (2nd)
4 Consecutive Western Regional Final Appearances
6 Consecutive Games allowing fewer than 20 points (7th)
2006 SEASON OUTLOOK
Last season, the Cougars broke the “curse” of three
consecutive losses in the Western Region Final game
and brought home the schools first NCHSAA
Championship since 1922.
Asheville lost a host of starters from last years
championship team to graduation, including four who
are now on the rosters of NCAA Division I schools.
This years team is nearly half-full of juniors. On the 38
man roster, the Cougars have 13 seniors. The team is
led by junior quarterback Rahkeem Morgan, the
younger brother of Kadeem Morgan who graduated
last year. Standouts also include Troyce McCants
(WR/DB), Rico Parks (FB/OLB), Bradley Haynes
(TE/LB), and Quinn Kirkland (DL), who was the
Defensive Player of the Game in last season's 3A
State Championship game.
3A Mountain Athletic Conference
Asheville has one of the toughest nonconference
schedules in the region. After the season opener
against local rival and perennial powerhouse 4A A.C.
Reynolds, Asheville faces two other 4A schools,
Freedom and East Burke, all from the Northwestern 4A
Conference. Also on the schedule for the second
consecutive year is top-ranked 2A powerhouse
Brevard.
Asheville High School Cougars:
http://www.asheville.k12.nc.us/sites/ahs
http://www.cougarsportsnet.com
Some expect a rebuilding year at Asheville due to the
graduation of BMW - Crezdon Butler, Kadeem Morgan
and Johnny White trio, and the return of only three
starting offensive linemen. The Cougars, however, are
picked just behind T.C. Roberson in the Mountain
Athletic Conference.

Information for Press and Media
Zeb Lee Press Box
New Phone and Data Services
New for 2006, the Asheville City Schools has installed
filtered high-speed internet access for media use in the
press box. Just bring your laptop and Ethernet cable and
connect. Username and password information will be given
out on site. A fax machine/copier is also available.
Beginning in 2006 there will be permanent telephone lines
installed in the press box, so radio stations no longer need to
install their own phone lines. Stations may make local or
toll-free calls and cover any long-distance costs. Please
contact us in advance for phone numbers and to ensure line
availability if multiple lines are needed.
In 1994, the three-level press box was named for veteran radio
sportscaster Zeb Lee (1911-1998), who personally broadcast
every Asheville High football game from 1948-1993 on
WSKY Radio.
The press box is on the side of the stadium opposite the main
building, and can be accessed from either ticket booth on the
home side. Special media parking near the concession stand is
available if arranged in advance. Additional parking is
available on the AB Tech Campus. Official media credentials
are required to enter the press box and the field level. Only
members of the working media are allowed inside the press
box.
The first floor of the press box is reserved for members of the
media. Special accommodations may be made by calling the
athletic director at Asheville High School or Asheville City
Schools Assistant Superintendent Tim Amos at (828) 350-6166
or emailing [email protected]. Requests may
include the use of special parking, seating on press row, TV
monitor, phone line(s), electrical power, and camera locations.
Also, requests for statistics, game notes, and other media
information may be honored with advance notice (when
available). When possible, please make arrangements prior to
game day. Facilities are available on a first-come, first-served
basis, with priority given to local media.
During playoff and some regular season games, a media
hospitality room can be found on the first floor of the press
box.
Team Video (Coaches’ game footage) may shoot from either
the coaches’ booth or the press box roof. Both locations have
multiple electrical outlets within easy reach.
Radio/Online/Live A u d i o
Asheville High welcomes live audio broadcasts from the Zeb
Lee press box. One private booth is available, with priority
given to home media on a first-come, first-served basis. For
the 2006 season, SportsRadio 1310 Big WISE will use this
booth to broadcast all of the Cougars’ games. An open
seating area is also available. Electrical outlets and multiple
phone lines are available in each location. Parking is
available near the concession stand if arranged in advance.
Television
The Cougar Sports Network owns the exclusive rights to all
home TV broadcasts in the Asheville area. CSN also has
priority in the home TV booth inside the press box. Visiting
schools that wish to bring a TV crew and truck are
encouraged to do so, but must make arrangements in advance
to coordinate truck, talent, and camera positions. CSN can
alternatively provide an audio and video feed for away
broadcast.
Broadcast Rights Fees
Asheville High does not currently charge a broadcast (rights)
fee for any radio or online broadcast of sporting events.
However, the NCHSAA and other schools may charge a
rights fee for certain games. We welcome and encourage
members of the media to visit our campus often to help
expose the talented student athletes at Asheville High, and
hope you enjoy your visit! (We also encourage you to

Biography (from College Football Hall of Fame):
Dan Hill toiled in the gridiron trenches for the famed
Iron Dukes of 1938. He was a center in the one
platoon era when centers were also linebackers. He
was All-America and co-captain of the 1938 Duke
University team. The Iron Dukes won five games
with the score 6-0 or 7-0. They were undefeated,
untied and unscored upon in the regular season,
losing finally in the Rose Bowl when Southern
California scored with just 41 seconds left to play.
His coach, Wallace Wade, called Hill "The heart of
the team." In one game the regular quarterback was
injured, and Hill called the plays. Duke had a 25-4-1
record in his three years. He graduated with honors,
spent four years as a naval officer in World War II,
and served Duke as assistant director of athletics,
1946-53. He left Duke and entered private business.

Facility
Information
Asheville High School Memorial Stadium
Asheville High School Memorial Stadium was constructed in 1983 at a cost of $700,000 and seats approximately 7,000
spectators. The first football game played in the new stadium was a 31-6 victory over the Erwin Warriors in 1983. The stadium
was dedicated in 1984 as Cougar Stadium, later renamed Asheville High School Memorial Stadium in 1998 in honor of all athletes,
past, present, and future who have died or may lose their life while student-athletes at AHS.
The stadium is home to the following AHS sports: football,
soccer, field hockey and track plus a few community events. The
stadium went under construction to receive new GameDay Artificial
Turf for the 2005 season. The turf was selected to maximize use of
the playing field so that in addition to football, soccer, and field
hockey games, physical education classes, marching band practices,
and other events can now be held on the field. The synthetic field
has permanent line markings on the field for football, soccer, and
field hockey in addition to endzone and field lettering, and is the
only one in the state with a two-toned green color. The new field
also has a pawprint design in the center, replacing the block A
which has been on the field since the stadium’s construction, and
now appears on each 25 yard line. The new turf replaces a Bermuda
grass field. The track has six lanes and is a fast rubberized-latex
surface.
The lighting system was designed for television broadcasts. The stadium was voted the finest high school football facility in
North Carolina in 1996.
Weight Training Upgrades at Asheville High
In March 2005, Asheville High replaced all of their aging weight room equipment
thanks to over $40,000 in contributions from various supporters. According to Head
Football Coach Danny Wilkins, who spearheaded the fundraising efforts, the
majority of weight room usage each day is not athletes, but the general student body
who signs up for mens' and womens' weight training classes. The weight room
serves athletes and non-athletes alike, and is a valuable part of the school
curriculum. Some faculty members also make routine use of the facility. The weight
room serves an average of 200 students daily, both male and female, athletes and
non-athletes.
