The batting averages went from an average of .341 to .479. Stats like this show they got stronger and stronger. It s not uncommon to see every player with All State status in the lifts--we ve given out in the past 5 years at least 100 different T-shirts for All State status, and our softball girls must have 80 of them! <br>Weight training is offered before school, all day long as a class and during the summer. The North Forsyth girls hold team bests with a bench of 205, power clean of 195, squat of 285 and a vertical jump of 24.1. Team member Megan Thacker is a state track champion in the 800m, and Keva Brown and Lauren Gains both scored over 1000 points in a single basketball season.<br> Our philosophy in weight training is simple, says Bishop.  We are going to work harder and smarter. There are no excuses; we are going to work as hard as possible. Coach Orr has the same attitude with the team--if they lose and they ve done everything they can do, then it s okay. Of course, we want to win, but more importantly we want to teach them about life, to make them better people, to make them work as a team, and learn to overcome adversity. rtance of building a positive self-image and in beliving in themselves and what they re doing.<br><br>Another unique aspect of Franklin High s BFS program is its poetry. The girls are required to memorize a different poem  one usually connected with athletics or self-improvement  every six weeks, and to write poems of their own.<br> You can not separate the mind from the body, Young, a former English teacher said. Not only can she see an improvement in her students memory due in part to their physical and mental workouts, but Young added that group tasks such as memorizing poetry contributes to a sense of teamwork among the students.<br><br>The overall results are striking, Young said,  I can see them all getting so much more self-confident, she said.  They all feel so much better about themselves, particularly the older girls, who have worked so hard for three-and-a-half years. It s sometimes just the little things that they now pay attention to, like the changes in their nutritional habits. A couple of cheerleaders stopped one day and said,  See Mrs. Young, we re drinking juice and not Dr. Pepper or Coke.  <br><br>Most of the girls list  getting in shape,  improving in their sport, and  losing weight as their primary reasons for taking BFS, but they also acknowledge the other benefits they ve received from Young s class.<br><br> We re learning about bones 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 e
