After having a BFS clinic, the  90 and  91 teams had all of the linemen benching 200+ pounds. Morgan Baker, our best defensive player and one of only two players weighing over 200 pounds, could bench 275.<br>During the spring of 1999, Portola hosted a BFS clinic, instructed by Bob Bozied from BFS, for both coaches and athletes. It was this clinic that brought another major component into our athletic plan. We added some components of BFS program to our PE classes. The PE teachers utilize many of the features of BFS, such as the dot drill. It is a great sight to walk into a gym class and see forty students of all abilities doing the Dot Drill at the same time. The PE teachers promote the whole program for those who want to use the weight room. <br>Since Portola is a small school, we have to develop the students we have. 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 Thomas varsity letter as a freshman. She is especially good as a pitcher in softball. At the early age of 13 she was clocked at 67 mph. Because of her great talent in softball, she was invited to travel with the Northern Arizona Traveling Super Stars. <br>Leslie Lemke is 5' 8.5" and 132 lbs. She has a 3.50 GPA and is another sophomore that has benefitted greatly from the BFS program. Leslie has had the least amount of time in the weight room having only lifted for one school year, however, she has responded well and has grown into an aggressive, dedicated athlete. She has lettered in Volleyball and Basketball both years of high school. Leslie added Softball to her resume of athletics during the 1997/98 school year. She has a 75 lb. snatch, a 165 lb. squat, a 110 lb. clean, and an 85 lb. bench.<br>Freshman Sandy Henderson, at 5' 2" and 128 lbs., is the shortest lifter but by no means the weakest. Sandy has prospered greatly due to weight training. In one school year on the BFS program, Sandy has a 75 lb. snatch, a 105 lb. bench, a 200 lb. squat, and a 120 lb. clean.<br>"For the first time in eleven years," explains Coach McGee, " our volleyball team advanced to the state regionals. All of the heavy hitters are on this program. This training has greatly improved their vertical jump, overall strength & conditioning, and
