However, the final state championship game at Massillon was where the pennies were buried. Their opponents were the Amanda-Clearcreek Aces who had only given up 27 points en route to a sparkling 13-0 record. With a 225-pound fullback and a 200-pound tailback with an offensive line that averaged 218-pounds, the Aces were a formidable power.<br><br>Just try to imagine the emotion Liberty felt as they returned to Paul Brown Tiger Stadium to play in front of the largest crowd in Ohio history for their classification. Think of the thousands of hours spent in the weight room, the preparation and the <br>sacrifices spent for this defining moment. Think about those pennies buried years ago in the end zone.<br><br>It wasn t even close! Six different Liberty Center Tigers scored touchdowns with seven state records being set as the  Sons clawed their way to a 49-8 state championship victory!<br><br> After the game, said Coach Spiess,  we dug around in various places around the end zone looking for those pennies. They were no where to be found, but not a single player gave it a second thought. The mission had been completed; the promise fulfilled. Tears of joy replaced the symbol of the pennies. There would now be a lifetime to reflect upon their significance. <br><br>Lingruen believes the lesson to be learned from this true story is that everyone is a role model. To help instill this belief in his athletes he has established a pen pal program in which kids from the nearby elementary schools write letters to the football players at Liberty Center.  It s good for the high school kids to see that these younger kids are constantly looking up to them, says Lingruen.  Even after they graduate they have to realize that they are role models, whether they want to be or not, and that they have a responsibility. That s what we tell our players when they enter our program they have a responsibility not only to themselves and their families, but also to the coaching staff, the football team and the community. <br><br>A Question of Priorities<br><br>Being successful in high school coaching has become a challenge in today s world because of all the distractions.  Compared to as recently as 10 years ago, many things have changed for today s high school students. The lifestyle, the freedom, the things they can do everyone s got a car now. Unfortunately, the opportunity to get into trouble is also greater and sometimes coaching seems like a fight between good and evil. However, I believe that basically every kid is good; it s just a matter of steering them in the right direction. And with both the parents working, we spend more time with these kids than their parents do.<br><br>  We strive to teach kids not to drink or smoke, and to do the right thing it s a constant battle. Although Lingruen accepts the fact that he can t keep every kid on the straight and narrow, more often than not he has made
