This season a lot of our games came down to playing well in the fourth quarter. Our kids knew how hard they had worked, they believed in the program, and that made a huge difference. I attribute a lot of our success to the drive and spirit that our kids gained from being in the BFS program. <br>Recalls Bierly of the Falcons transformation.  When I first started coaching 10 years go, I think we had 18 kids on our football team, and we couldn t even put together a full scrimmage of 11 on 11  we had to run half lines to do it. I also remember times when our games drew only about 30 people to the stands. At our last game we had 2,500 people in the stands. <br>Adds Hurd,  During the past several years our football players had gotten used to disappointment, but now they walk in the community with chests out and heads high  and they are always wearing their jerseys or their BFS shirts. Everyone in the community is proud of what we ve done this year by going 10-0. We are excited about seeing our one-year gains and seeing what it s going to be like when our freshmen become seniors. Our program is going to continueones and muscles and stuff, said Amanda McCoy, who s been in BFS since the second semester of her freshman year. A senior who plays softball and basketball, McCoy said she believes that memorizing and writing poetry is paying off in other areas of her schoolwork and athletic career.  It helps me remember, she said,  and helps me concentrate. <br><br>Junior Amanda Waldroop, a cross country runner, sees another benefit to the poetry.<br><br> Sometimes, when I m not feeling good, I remember a sentence from a poem that makes me feel better. <br><br>Junior Penny Thompson, who plays softball, volleyball and basketball, admits she doesn t particularly like having to memorize poems, but said,  They do give us a lot of good messages. <br><br>And Krystal Laughlin, a junior goalie on the soccer team who enjoys the physical challenges of BFS, said those messages are important.<br><br> It makes me feel better about myself, she said,  and teaches me that I can accomplish things, and that makes me a stronger person. <br><br>One of the keys to the success of the program is that Young never lets it get stale.<br> The seniors have seen me change the course every year, Young said,  according to the things I ve learned over the summer. I think that helps keep them interested and gives them another reasons to take BFS. <br> <br><br>BFS<br>By Elana Breedlove<br><br>BFS has made me have<br>so much more respect.<br>It makes me remember and <br>do the things I used to wanna <br>neglect.<br><br>It makes me push myself,<br>it makes me wanna succeed,<br>Because of BFS I know what<br>I really need.<br><br>I need to work hard, push myself,<br>and try to be the best,<br>When you think of how the <br>body works,<br>why would you wanna rest?<br><br> Push yourself, come on, faster ,<br>that s all Mrs. Young used to say,<br>When running the mile <br>she was with everyone <br>every step of the way.<br><br>Everybody needs someone to <br>help you find the way.<br>I m glad I get to meet that person<br>every single day.<br><br>BFS isn t only about the <br>physicaltjS!(i1$Qp,L{s/Ňm,< i_ضBY4[rYF YGWpdy~Q$TW\XAgSn:UYV5v%sSP8; .t8@ͱvU *}NRf#"Z2(u[TKf[?NjqlwoW0 LK-0NͶn078~iZ&i6ڤ7b:rcVlx '|RHF7ilٲ֧̹|5i[7ZE| tP,)ed a_REzޔ>8r]/ wOo{j z%DFBQԫwV#Q-R8k֙qgBRM* tΣL[XcU{ P }fce?⛠V99 Sͨ~م͛@Qȷcis`MkyfF?\7r!SLАHwr +v#aPdGul%>{`S\3K8^ A9ȔV4i)BGѝMtmGy&,W#j-$1*~%#qF#`Թuec]@ Y2Dxi izZ0[I%eLzL3B7b?釄9[#G$Ptj*FQUC2kU(-r< yY Vx,+ӒҼZ}LT s-xZ݈SkN_ zs,ˋ%=/1vMKF&I M#(GoMh>,ZZ(:аqÈaU-ˎGit+(KEl;w#ch"2oz埗.tK4HZUxD 3'3N҅i kʵۓ|m_Vl7:j+sE[VlfĀ᯶C]y|B!IdR"ܦoPW~qF ==[ZX-"HQFTAȏtKdR\N@I4;.RMd<,(upC)AɼhDQVfi#cK 1]8.Aq׫j 258&q s[iFMZgck*!)P:&!j0aD:wv- u$^po+@#ŃU+ȝudS+wm|!}ܟ[H hM;jV $7zuh#dT!8(J,@qe6lUڄVo._t2'x'Io/dJQӄL#n -o`:]w$ <2$zS9_0e7s| MYxz\x_/ʏ"sD-幺gU'bEw1V*0#8o,l>\1cO?-6;&AJ6 _+_6N= .;`lĝnNygmy0:+@ oɽͽK(xPeVrCğGsiȌ(\ uiWX8N8)KxJp?'tShj4PUQT{(n-lƻbͿ3qcwp5Y::΃kЭ¾JKE QRV?oZ8xNtB7ʂz;w9 /ikp2/6 ?)'IpFؖgPkLU}ocq ,QF# @"7;툳lF63>ء՚ kݞ{moXsj7L=jcu7yp\ 3)UTDri n/^%o8*$v -=a]_Chi=U%PBzt#mRMRjV#R(UK}:0$Cю^'#?id @6 YWc.0SyWY[!aQ<|ksΩ˯F[i_ Ch^iV^Y;Q@ R܀xV+FO"Eh:ƟVqbc{~@?f<'7AɾG,(w=2W#Hx=skA5ڐ}IX3SzrO?k)sJE[g3HK Ez \&$\bjHV(mb;Gr%Q,u^}n#unc
