Some kids who bench or squat well may not actually be very athletic, but a kid who can excel in the power clean usually has a good combination of strength and speed. Of course, we squat and bench like everybody else, but the power clean is certainly a lift we emphasize. That emphasis has led to some impressive accomplishments for his athletes in the weightroom.<br>Last season Herron saw 53 of his athletes power clean 225 pounds. Of those, 21 did 250, 13 did 275, 4 did 300, and senior Brian Crum topped the team with 320 pounds at a bodyweight of 215 pounds. Crum, who Herron says is the player all the college recruiters are coming to see, is a tight end/defensive back who runs a 4.4 forty and excels in academics. Pound for pound, one of the most impressive lifts was made by Oscar Patterson, a receiver/defensive back who power cleaned 250 at a bodyweight of only 140 pounds.<br>One of the big motivators for Herron s athletes to excel in the power clean was news that Washington County High School in Sandersville, Georgia, had achieved national records in the lift for having 34 players lift
