Beginning with the opening game on the road, a 42-6 victory over a Class C school, the team's training results were evident. Bodies flew all over the football field in that game. And it wasn't the Pirates's. Their opponents found themselves flying from the amazing hits that were applied by the Peck players. The players, spectators and coaches had never seen such hard hitting as they saw from the Peck Pirates that night. And that was just the beginning.<br>As the season went on, there was no doubt that the time and hard work spent in the weight room had paid off. On both sides of the ball, offensively and defensively, the Pirates showed they were a much stronger team physically. Assistant coach and defensive coordinator Mike McLaughlin made this observation: "What I saw that first game was unbelievable. All 11 of our defenders were in on almost every tackle as our kids were throwing blockers off themselves to get to the football, and the hits were at a level I had never before witnessed at Peck". <br>What followed were a North Central Thumb League championship and a perfect regular season: 9 wins, 0 losses. The Pirates, a Class D school, went on to beat two Class C schools in addition to four other schools in their division that would later qualify for the state playoffs. The Pirates themselves were back in the state playoffs again with a school record of 10 wins, before bowing out of the playoffs in game 11.<br>It was truly a great season for the Peck Pirates, one that began long before the opening kickoff. The time and commitment these young men made to work hard in the weight room and make themselves better players paid off. There is no doubt that in setting their goals high and having a positive attitude to reach them, the Peck Pirates were able to return to the place they wanted to be: league champions and in the state playoffs. Everyone at Peck is 100 percent committed to the belief that the BFS weight training program was instrumental in turning the team in the direction it needed to go. <br><br>Thanks for sharing your inspirational story. The Peck Pirates demonstrated an Eleven attitude with their  Right Now Theme. <br> - Dr. Greg Shepard of people don't recognize that weight training makes you feel better. It's like reaching for a personal best every day. It's a real good thing for anyone t do for their body and their attitude. It makes you feel good. <br>Malta's program relies on the BFS core lifts, and BFS training materials have been on Coach Sargent's desk since he began coaching.  We start out on quarter parallel squats, then bench squats, but with each kid we may work out a little differently. We all enjoy the one-rep-max contests we have three times a year. That's one of the great things about the BFS program. It brings out team camaraderie in weight training, which for many is only self-oriented. <br>Malta High was recently treated to a new $12.6 million building, after a fire destroyed the former facility. The weight room is an adequate 940 square feet with a full gamut of serious strength training equipment including power racks. LeeAnn wishes the strength training area could be larger, but she's proud of her school.<b
