In 2005 the cougars were loaded with star-studded talent. Crezdon Butler ATH who went on and starred at Clemson. Johnny White went on to Chapel Hill and Kadeem morgan went on to western. Eventually butler and white both went on to have pro careers in the NFL while morgan played a year with the Calgary Stampede. along with Rahkeem Morgan and Neville Hayes. Beat a really good western Alamance team that year to win the title. And Danny Wilkins was the mastermind behind the puzzle. The MAC was loaded with talent and the cougars beat the likes of AC Reynolds, TC Roberson, Franklin, Freedom, High point Andrews. The schedule was brutal and never had a blemish. Asheville High stadium on an October Friday night in 2005 was like none other in the whole state. The scenic back view and the beautiful mountain skies made it even more special! This is what makes high school football so special and I'm glad we will have it back soon !
 
Johnny white and crezdon butler were the two best players Danny Wilkins ever had and they just so happened to be in the same class. In my opinion, the 05 team wasn’t even the best team he ever had.
 
Leonard Little and Craig King's team was pretty damn good! I think that was Lou Fogle still then though right?

Asheville stadium seats a ton. Even when it doesnt look full there is still a good crowd. I've been to several games at Asheville including in 2005 against TW Andrew's. Beautiful backdrop at the high. I love Owen's stadium of course but Asheville is hard to beat too
