That got Kappelmeier to thinking.<br> I remembered when the season ended I had asked my coaches for any ideas to improve the team, and one of the suggestions was to have the kids earn their way onto the team.  In the past we didn t cut anybody---if a kid wanted to come out for football he was going to play. So at the end of February I told the kids that from Memorial Day until the first day of practice in mid-August, to make the team each one of them had to put in 48 hours of training---in the weight room or on the field running or doing plyos or agility work. <br>When two-a-days started and the media came out with its pre-season predictions, Kappelmeier found no mention of High Point High School. True to tradition, the Wildcats were expected to lose.<br>Their opening game was against Sparta, a team that was supposed to be one of the contenders for the league title. High Point beat them 10-3. Says Kappelmeier,  It was a very tough, physical game. And although we made some big mistakes on offense in the fourth quarter, they couldn t do a thing against our defense. We were simply physically stronger than they were. <br>Amazingly, the streak continued and the Wildcats victories started piling up. The fans poured into the stands, the crowds grew larger each week. By week eight the Wildcats were 6-1 and up against Pope John High School from Sparta. Pope John was coming into the game undefeated, and High Point needed to beat them to at least share the league title. But there was added incentive.  The previous year they had beaten us 52-13, and threw at the end. With more than 2000 fans cheering them on, the Wildcats earned their vindication with a 24-14 victory.<br>The last regular season game was against the team from Vernon, which had beaten the Wildcats 34-6 the previous year and had shared the league title. Vernon also had a larger talent pool of athletes as they had over 500 more students enrolled than High Point. But you don t win titles on paper, and the ferocious Wildcats ran, passed, blocked and tackled their way to a 28-10 win and a berth in the state playoffs.<br>The first game of the playoffs was against Northern Highlands High School in Allendale.

Battle of the Great Lakes Championships. We lifted great, set some new state records, and won the tournament. Josh Wood had moved up a weight class and took first place at 165. He took home the Best Lifter of the meet again for the second year in a row!

Pound for pound, Josh Wood is the strongest athlete Ive ever coached. As a junior at 148; his best lifts were a 465 squat, a 320 bench, and a 400 deadlift. As a senior at 165; his best lifts were 505, 335, and 430. Along with his strength, I have timed him at 4.2 in the pro agility drill consistently. His quickest time is 4.19. He can also consistently reach 32 in the vertical jump. When you combine his athletic ability with his work ethic and mental toughness, it is no wonder that he is a champion. He played short corner on our football team this past season, but I loved watching him fly down field on the kick-off team. With his speed and explosiveness, you can imagine some of the great collisions that happened out there. They were fun to watch. As you can see, having a pow
