Riggs rushed for 1,455 yards on 188 attempts, visited the end zone 16 times; as a linebacker he had 137 tackles, 41 for a loss, and five sacks. Riggs was voted the team MVP and earned an athletic scholarship to Shepherd College.<br>Two other seniors who became local celebrities for their outstanding play were quarterback Gary Ward and linebacker/wide receiver Josh Funk. Ward, who also became the leading scorer in school history for the basketball team with 1425 points, passed for 1245 yards and rushed for 432 yards. Those stats include 16 passing TD s and six rushing TD s. Funk, who received a scholarship to Ohio State for lacrosse, had 31 catches for 691 yards, 68 tackles and six sacks.<br> One big difference the BFS program made was in raising the level of confidence in our kids, says Hurd.  This season a lot of our games came down to playing well in the fourth quarter. 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. raig would be raised at home and be greatly loved. I was filled with emotion and gratitude for two things: First, for my son being healthy and second, for Steve s wonderful example. <br>On the recommendations of Dr. Charley Howell, Craig went through several operations and survived. Recently, Coach Brooks gave me an update and sent me a photo of his son. Craig will be 17 this June; my son Mark will turn 17 in July. Craig can hold hands with his dad and walk around the track. He smiles and can even say a few words. Steve credits his wife Carol as the one who has made Craig s life what it is today.  She has done all of the hard work, he said.  Craig s special ed teacher April has also been a true miracle worker. <br>As I looked at the photo and pondered over life s bigger picture, I reflected upon the importance of gratitude and families.<br>I finished my letter to Steve:  I know that in the afterlife Craig s body and mind will be restored. I know he will thank you for being the father that you are. Families are a forever thing. Later, Steve called me and told me he has the same feelings. <br>It s a good time now to remember our families and treasure them. Time to take a few moments to think beyond our everyday problems and focus on the big picture. <br><br>Time to be grateful.<br>ossibility that steroids contributed to Jose s dismal strikeout record.<br>Second, Jose has always been outspoken. He clashed with the Oakland management and was frequently kept on the bench. Finally, Jose was traded to the Texas Rangers during the 1992 season. From then
