We don t have the luxury of the numbers some of the schools have. Most of the best athletes have to play both ways, so our conditioning must be superior. As the 1998 JV team grew into the 2000 Varsity team, their lifting sessions became more intense and dedicated.<br>Our project has been successful. We have restored our self-esteem. Winning has also brought the community together to support our football program.  It is all worth the effort, to see our players faces after our division championship, said coach Bass. More students have expressed an interest in playing next year. Our next challenge is now on our doorstep. Can we sustain this energy level? I believe so, with the help of the Bigger Faster Stronger Program.<br><br>" <br>The BFS Program provides a plan the athletes love, because it is motivational. It promotes goal setting, record breaking and teamwork. Athletes can set PR s everyday! The athletes want to continue lifting. It is no longer just hard work, it is FUN!<br> --Howard Thomastables and fruits, but he eliminated all fast foods and fried foods. John also stepped away from being a member of the "Big Gulp Society" and he increased his intake of bottled water. John followed the strength training program and, although he was losing weight, he did a personal best of 280 pounds in the Power Clean. That is impressive considering John's long arm span. <br><br>When asked what part of the strength and conditioning program helped him the most, Jon said, "The fact that technique was the #1 emphasis in both the squat and power clean. It gave me a chance to add weight gradually and these two lifts made me more explosive, flexible and definitely faster. I could not even power clean 220 pounds as a junior, but strict technique on the power clean enabled my confidence to rise. It's just like our football at Mainland High School, where technique is emphasized and demanded every day. I'm thankful for that because no one ever beat me on a pass rush, not even once, in my senior year." <br><br>WALTER WASHINGTON<br><br>QB 6'1 228 CO-CAP'T. 1st Team All-State, Eastern Kentucky signee. Strongest QB in the Nation? Walter won the national combine (quarterbacks) last summer competing in the Georgia Dome prior to the Florida vs. Georgia all Star Game. He won the over-all contest and threw the football 78 yards. He had thrown it 84 yards in warm ups. Walter was third in the clean and jerk at the 238-pound classification at the State Weight Lifting Championships as a junior. Walter cleaned and jerked 310 pounds. Currently Walter is bench pressing 370 lbs. His clean is 325 lbs. He probably was the strongest High School Q.B. in the country. "Our football team has great respect for Walter's achievements. Coach Maronto states, "Walter did everything we asked him to do and he was a hue reason tat we were the top offense team in Volusia County". He played FB, TE, WR., Safety, LB and Rush End as a junior. He is extremely versatile, but he always worked to be the QB. He trusted the system and now will play QB at the next level at Eastern Kentucky University. He was the BUCS lifter of the year in '99 and 2000.<br><br>DAN STEIN AND CHRIS RHODES<br><br>No one has out trained Dan and Chris, as they are aggressive and relentless lifters in the weight room. At the start of the 2000 season, Dan was the starting center and Chris a starting tackle. Dan follows a very solid nutritional plan in eating and has gained 16 pounds 235-251 of muscle lifting and taking BFS's Whey Protein. Chris transferred o Mainland last year and John Wilson brought him to the weight room and became his mentor. Chris is about John's size at 6'8, 330 lbs., and he has lost weight (30 lbs.) by eating like a "tiger". Dan & Chris had early season injuries, but both of them worked through our rehab-program and have never missed a meetin
