She averaged over 17 points and rebounds per game for her junior year. She even scored a double double in regionals with a dislocated toe; talk about a high threshold of pain. At a 3.85 GPA, Erika Acosta epitomizes the scholar athlete.<br>Heather Rudnick is 5' 4", 104 lbs. She is another junior who is a scholar/athlete with a 4.25 GPA. In spite of her lack of size, basketball is Heather's best sport. Heather improved from a 90 lb. 7 ppg. passive athlete, to an aggressive 104 lb. 14.45 ppg. leader. Heather has earned MVP in volleyball, basketball and softball as well as 1st team all conference in each of these sports. Her best lifts include: a 70 lb. snatch, a 75 lb. bench, a 155 lb. squat, and a 105 lb. clean. Notice that she can clean over her body weight.<br>Another up and coming athlete is super sophomore Lacey Campbell. She has not been in weights as long as Erika but caught on fast and has some impressive stats of her own. Lacey has a 115 lb. snatch, a 135 lb. bench, a 205 lb. squat, and a 135 lb. clean. She is an outstanding hitter in volleyball, earning a varsity letter as a freshman. She is especially good as a pitcher in softball. At the early age of 13 she was clocked at 67 mph. Because of her great talent in softball, she was invited to travel with the Northern Arizona Traveling Super Stars. <br>Leslie Lemke is 5' 8.5" and 132 lbs. She has a 3.50 GPA and is another sophomore that has b to the challenges. Senior, Matt Paradise, stepped off of the special teams and into the starting line up as a 180-pound tackle. Although severely undersized, his great off-season work habits helped him to fill the bill. <br>The championship run would not have been possible without avoiding the injury bug. We lost only one player for the season and that was an unpredictable injury. Starting tackle and National Honor Society member, Russ Mahoney, bruised an intestine that required surgery. Our only other serious injury came when all-state 1st team center and wrestler Justin Funk injured his knee in the second quarter of the state championship game. He played the rest of the game without an ACL, refusing tape, brace, or medication. That is amazing. That is Bulldog attitude.<br>There is something intangible about a team that works together in the weight room throughout the year. The constant support that they receive from each other as they strive to become their personal best builds tremendous esprit de corps. They become a team in the truest sense of the word and epitomize the bulldog philosophy that was so well
