Then we lost the next two games. Our reservation for the Be An 11 Seminar was still a month away. I thought,  How can I wait a month? Then we had another devastating loss to a team we should have beat, making three losses in a row. That was our ultimate low point. The kids were griping and saying they wanted to quit. That s when we lit into them hard. We said,  You have to make a commitment to each other, for each other, or get out. The kids responded and we won three straight. <br>Shepard called to confirm the date, and when he heard Davis turn-around story he teased,  Well, do you still need me? Davis replied,  Yes, without hesitation. He knew there were still problems in his community with kids drinking and doing drugs.<br><br>A Magic Moment<br><br>When Coach Shepard arrived in Glenelg, the tragedy of J.T. was still on the minds of the parents, students and faculty. As it turned out, the date coincided with the funeral for one of Shepard s former players, an All-State running back, from his own hands-on coaching days. He had died in an accidental gas leak in a camper while hunting with his son, a ninth grader who was already turning heads as a football star. <br><br><br>Shepard missed the services to make his appointment at Glenelg High. <br>His story resonated in unison with Glenelg s ongoing grief over J.T. and there were tears of sadness, reconciliation and joy shared during the workshop.<br>Perhaps it was just a chance meeting of minds and emotions. Or perhaps it was destiny that the Be An 11 Program really hit its mark. Which one, no one can answer.<br>Parents, JV and varsity players, counselors, coaches and faculty were invited to attend. And they did. The support and enthusiasm was at an all-time high.<br> From that point on everything we did was directed around being an eleven, recalls Davis.  We had signs in the locker room. It was just about the only talk in the weight room and the playing field. We were set on fire to be elevens! <br>If you want proof, check out what Glenelg s Gladiators accomplished following the workshop. For starters, they won the next four games making it seven games straight and qualified for the playoffs. In Glenelg s history, only three other years teams ever qualified.<br> Toward the end, we beat three teams in ga the football team went 7 and 3, with a loss in the State playoff first round. The biggest thing that most players liked about their first year of BFS was that they got stronger as the season went on.<br><br>PRE-SEASON TESTS<br><br>It is said that championships are won from January through August, so back to work we went. Sticking to the plan and fine tuning our program, we were thrilled with our pre-2000 season test.<br>On the bench press, 33 players lifted 300 pounds or more and 4 players bench pressed over 400 pounds. On th parallel squat, there were 18 players over 400 pounds. Dot drill times improved an average of 13 seconds per player. Team times for the 40-yard dash improved .02 seconds. Our biggest improvement was Ryan Jenkins, a senior (Captain) defensive tackle. Ryan went from a 5.38 forty time to a
