While many might attribute the Royals' on-field success to God-given ability, the blood and sweat that was spent working out through the BFS program proved to be a price well worth paying by the end of the season. With every defensive starter, including linemen, running the 40 yard dash in under 5.0 seconds (4.923 was the slowest), opponents could not prepare for, nor adjust to, the speed of the Royals. <br>The physical attributes, through hours of hard work, of the Royals was beneficial, but the focus on detail is what set this Woodbury team apart from any of its predecessors. Coaches would often be heard using the phrases  lock in and  be coachable instead of boisterous clamors of approval or disapproval. Swearing is prohibited on the practice field. Coaches and players who fail to adhere to this rule are required to remove themselves from the field for the rest of the practice. The saying,  Practice does not make perfect, practice makes permanent, is posted in the locker room every fall. Coaches focus in on teaching the smallest details, and players focus in on learning their techniques to perfection. The amount of attention paid to detail, coupled with the ever-present focusing on the ultimate goal, made the Woodbury Royal football players develop into championship players.<br>With the foundation that championship people make up championship players, the Royals successfully acquired the necessary ingredients to become a championship team. Picked to finish fourth in their conference in 1998 by the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the Royals felt as though they wanted to earn respect across the state. However, the respect the Royals sought was not of the superficial kind that so many professional athletes rant and rave about - the Royals believed that they were the best team in the state of Minnesota and they were focused on winning the championship andearning the respect of all. <br>Woodbury opened the season with a school record seven straight wins. Coincidentally, the eighth game of the season was against conference rival Hastings High School who was also 7-0 entering the game. The game, to be played on Woodbury's home field for the St. Paul Suburban Conference Championship, was host to nearly 6,000 fans, as well as
