They were an unstoppable force. Part of this fearsome defense included strong safety, Greg Carothers, who was named the state s defensive MVP. Carothers, who signed to pla for the University of Washington, displayed his awesome talents at several different positions, including free safety, linebacker, receiver, and running back. Defensive tackle, Brandon Milone, had the distinction of being the best defensive lineman that has ever played for Capital High School. Kyle Scarr at cornerback led the sate with ten interceptions. Seventeen Bruins were named to the AA All-State team, which included 11 first-team picks, five second-team players and one honorable mention. Coach Carter believes that athletes are made in the weight room using the BFS system. He prefers to san Michael Irvin. Sometimes he makes poor choices off the feld but he really takes his conditioning seriously. Those that know him, the players and the coaches, would not refute that.<br>People ask me if we ever go for maxes. Yes we do. We go for a one-rep-max on the Bench. Our guys like it better than our 3 or 5 rep max. I watch them carefully. Over my career, I have had very few injuries. I prepare my players. We have a big testing period for four days in June.

THIS ONE'S FOR YOU, DAD

In height and weight, Steve Cole is the smallest player in his league, but hes got a giants share of courage, dedication, drive and heart.

By Laura Dayton
Published: Spring 1998
When Steve Cole was a freshman he had some doubts about playing football, but they were fleeting. Hed been picked on most of his life for being short, and was used to standing up for himself. Besides, he had the support and encouragement of his dad, mom and step-dad. The doubts didnt linger long; from the moment Cole stepped in the weight room during his sophomore year, he began to plot his own strategies to become a major team player in spite of his physical limitations.

Cole had another reason for his strong sense of commitmenthe wanted to make his father proud. When Cole was in the second grade his father received massive head injuries in a violent car accident that left Vince Cole in a wheelchair with limited use of his limbs and impaired speech. His son was devastated.

For many ars I was hurt and angry, says Cole, now a senior at Maumee High School in northweste Ohio. I just didnt understand why this had to happen to my dad.

Over the years Cole has learned to manage the heartache, yet hardly a day goes by when he doesnt think of his faer, who lives in a nursing home. One of his fathers greatest joys these past few years has been reading about Coles phenomenal performance on the field, in bothhe localaper and the school newspaper. As Coles senior year got under way and he was clearly on his way to his best performance yet, Vince was able to actually attend one of his sons games.
