Those are his plans after finishing college and after pro football. I asked him if he wasn't too short to play at the pro level. Adrian looked me straight in the eye and then laughed, "No."&nbsp;</P> <P>Adrian redshirted in his first year and then lettered at defensive tackle during the next two years. This year, as a junior, he is an all-Southern Conference Candidate. The Southern Conference is entering into its 76th year and is composed of the following schools: Tennessee State, Furman, Georgia Southern, Marshall, UT-Chattanooga, Virginia Military Institute, Western Carolina and the Citadel. The expansion of three additional schools are planned soon.&nbsp;</P> <P>Adrian is on line to graduate in four years and then he will work on an MBA (Masters Program) during his fifth year of eligibility.&nbsp;</P> <P>To prepare for games, Adrian concentrates totally about crushing his opponent. "I sit quietly," said Adrian. "I visualize throwing my opponent into the backfield and running down the ball carrier. My attitude is that no one can stop me." The first game of the season was played against Miami in the Orange Bowl. Adrian said before the game, "Miami is like a regular team to me. I will not be intimidated."&nbsp;</P> <P>Adrian believes the key to lifting a big weight is technique. "I don't go crazy. &nbsp;I visualize going through the lift. Our coaches stress being under control emotionally. They want us psyched but controlled. I like a challenge when people say that I can't do something, it makes me work harder to prove them wrong."&nbsp;</P> <P>The number one goal at the Citadel is to keep together and to work hard in practice. Coach Peal explained, "Our goals are centered around the <U>process</U> of work. If we work hard, then the end goals will take care of themselves."&nbsp;</P> <P>Adrian uses a lot of hard work to be successful and adds, "Don't let friends intervene in your goals. Never take a step backwards. Always go forward. Stay with the books. Do it academically first. Then do athletics if you want."&nbsp;</P> <P>The Citadel has a zero tolerance policy on drugs, and alcohol is not allowed on campus. Adrian confided, "The kids I hung around with in high school were non-drinkers so peer pressure was never a problem. In high school I never had a drink and never had anything to do with drugs. I believe you should be your own person."&nbsp;</P> <P>Adrian sees himself married with a couple of kids with a steady job in accounting as his future. He will try pro-football, and powerlifting after the Citadel but his family and family values will always remain the most important aspect of life.&nbsp;</P> <P>We thank Adrian and Coach Peal for sharing their story. They are true Upper Limit people.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</P> 400 plus in the bench and squat. Ryan credits his speed improvement to stretching, squatting and the straight-leg dead lift. Larry Kelliher, also a senior defensive tackle and a 400 plus in both lifts, improved his 40 speed from a 5.16 to a 4.93. Both have a super work ethic. Missing a workout was just unheard of.  I feel sorry for those guys who don t lift, stated Kelliher.  First, they are selling their team short and second, Coach McKenna will track them down. <br><br>INTO THE NEW SEASON<br><br>Notre Dame s first big test in 2000 was to come against Hamilton West, a power house in recent years. Hamilton West is a well-coached team, loaded with great players.<br>The stage was set, the community was buzzing with a game of the year talk. But all the excitement was put on hold when the Hamilton West teachers went on strike. With Hamilton s season on hold, Notre Dame continued to play and rolled to a 7 and 0 record. The game of the year was rescheduled and played in front of a packed house. When the dust settled, Notre Dame won 19 toy track team that won state. What an awesome accomplishment to be able to call yourself a three-sport state cha
