Brandon Sheppard has improved his running time in one year by almost .30 seconds. He runs the 40-yard dash in 4.38 seconds and the 100-meter in 10.61 seconds. Sheppard s secret is simple: he has trained harder than ever in his routine of jumping boxes and training on the running ladder. <br>Joseph Huewitt, a sophomore who has known only the Bigger Faster Stronger program, has made huge improvements in all weightlifting categories, including an unbelievable 205-pound increase in his parallel squat, from 135 pounds to 405 pounds. <br> Only the strong survive is the motto painted on the weight room wall as a constant reminder. Strength and agility are the hallmarks of this team. According to the coaching staff, a better group of guys cannot be found.  These guys deserve any and all praise that they receive, stated Coach Tony Long.  They have worked harder than hard and are still reaching for the stars. No team could be consistently successful without a coaching staff that cares more about their players than the game. The players say that they are tethered together and consider themselves more than a team they are a family. people around you that care and that can teach you is also important in being successful. Have the heart to do your best and whatever you do, go all out. My dad says to do it 110 percent."&nbsp;</P> <P>David has unusual values. For example, in his freshman year in high school, he had an "F" grade half way through the term in one class. One of his friends who was in the same situation got out and got a different teacher. His friend got a "B" but David stuck it out and took his "F" grade. David does not believe in quitting anything. Last year he made it up and got an "A" grade.&nbsp;</P> <P>Peer pressure is tough for most people including David. "When I was in Poplar Bluff," said David, "there wasn't a whole lot to do, so a lot of kids used alcohol. Up here at Hazelwood East, it was easier. I have always thought it was stupid to get involved in alcohol or drugs. It's like putting a gun to your face. I ended up getting a girlfriend who was morally, academically and spiritually squared away. When we went out, we studied and had fun without drugs or alcohol. I won't have it - being around people who drink.&nbsp;</P> <P>"I have never had any kind of drug and that includes marijuana. I have never had a beer, ever! I don't drink. No one really gave me peer pressure. I think people respect you when you take a firm stand. People would say, 'Cool. That's good.' I have never seen anything good come out of it. It doesn't make you rich or healthy.&nbsp;</P> <P>"I believe in being a good Christian. The spiritual area of life is the most important part of life. You can have your football and school but you need to have the spiritual side of life to make those things truly meaningful."&nbsp;</P> <P>We thank David for being an Upper Limit person and for being such a wonderful example. We thank Jim Brown for getting him started on the right path in strength and conditioning and all the other teachers and coaches who played a role in his development. We thank Mr. and Mrs. Paul Webber for helping us with this article and raising such a
