Our kids knew how hard they had worked, they believed in the program, and that made a huge difference. I attribute a lot of our success to the drive and spirit that our kids gained from being in the BFS program. <br>Recalls Bierly of the Falcons transformation.  When I first started coaching 10 years go, I think we had 18 kids on our football team, and we couldn t even put together a full scrimmage of 11 on 11  we had to run half lines to do it. I also remember times when our games drew only about 30 people to the stands. At our last game we had 2,500 people in the stands. <br>Adds Hurd,  During the past several years our football players had gotten used to disappointment, but now they walk in the community with chests out and heads high  and they are always wearing their jerseys or their BFS shirts. Everyone in the community is proud of what we ve done this year by going 10-0. We are excited about seeing our one-year gains and seeing what it s going to be like when our freshmen become seniors. Our program is going to continue to grow by becoming bigger and faster and stronger as we take it to the next level. vised Brad.  The theory that weights tighten you up is a myth. It does nothing but good if you do it the right way. <br> For pitchers not to lift is a crock, said Brandon.  I work my legs. I know that's where it's at. And, I don't go crazy on the bench. <br>Brad continued,  You must be committed and have a desire to make your goal. Set your goals high. Brandon added.  It will take will and determination. You can't be afraid to lose. You can't go out scared. Just be determined to mow 'em down. <br>Last season, the LSU Tiger baseball team did not do that well in the SEC tournament. The team said not to worry about it. Regionals were what was important for the national championship. They hit 20 homeruns in four games to win regionals! That was a record. Brandon was selected to the All-Tournament NCAA South Two Regional Team. They hit 17 homeruns in the College World Series which tied the record while finishing third. Brad was selected as a First Team All-American and led the SEC in homeruns and RBI's. <br>Brandon seemed so squared away during our interview, I was surprised to hear him say,  I made some bad choices in high school I got kicked out of school my senior year. But, I did some real soul searching. I realized God gave me some talent and I wasn't supposed to waste it. I got my life back together, went to junior college and then on to LSU. <br> I never miss class now. I turn in my assignments on time. I don't drink, or chew, I don't think alcohol and tobacco are part of baseball or life. At seventeen I never would have said that. My brain wasn't on the right path. Brandon is, not surprisingly, majoring in philosophy and religious studies. He plans on getting a Masters Degree with a goal of teaching and coaching at a junior college. Further goals include going after a Ph.D. and becoming a university coach <br> I might play pro ball if it happens, philosophies Brandon.
