He played football, basketball and was on the track team. Paul made the All-State team as a tight end and defensive end. As a senior, he was 6-6 and 215 pounds. Paul started to lift seriously as a 9th grader and by his senior year achieved the following marks: Bench-280, Squat-350, Dead Lift-315, 40-  at least a 4.4 or 4.5. Now, at age 22, Paul can Bench 385, Squat 490, Hang Clean 319 and Vertical Jump 35 inches. He is majoring in Sports Management and Marketing and will graduate this summer. <br>Paul came to Marshall to play football with his best friend John Cooper. It turned out to be a great decision.  We win so much that we expect it now, says Paul.  It s a good feeling to win all the time. Paul made first team All-MAC and was named Player-of-the-Week several times at his defensive end position. At 6-7 265 with his speed and quickness, Paul is a force that is hard to handle.  But I m not big on awards, asserted Paul.  The team is more important.<br> I believe the secret of our success is that the coaches recruit well. We give a lot of athletes a chance. Some of my teammates come from poverty or a poor background. Marshall provides an opportunity to grow up and mature. I started out not going o class but then I changed. I had reconstructive knee surgery because of an injury during the second game of the 1998 season. I thought,  Man, I m only one play away from never playing again. It made me realize that I had better go to class, get my grades and graduate. I now now that I m not invincible . . . no one is. <br>Paul has developed some strong convictions as a result ond, Tom was elected homecoming king last fall. At the presentation ceremony, he gave his crownto his little brother Joey, who has Down syndrome. Joey was all smiles and so was everyone else as he stood as king at the homecoming assembly. <br>Tom is a true Eleven, and we at BFS wish him well as he embarks on the next chapter of his life at the University of Iowa. Our thanks go to Tom, his parents and Coach Ekmark for this inspiring story. <br><br><br><br>nd rocky road they have been forced to walk is what polished them into first class, ine tuned athletes. Amy is an athlete that has had to work hard to ovrcome adversity. When Amy was in high school her parents divorced. As we talked about overcoming hardships and coping with negative aspects in life, Amy commented by saying, "Everyone has obstacles and you can make them to be as big as you want, itsjust the way you go about handling them. The important thing is how you react and deal with the problems, that's what makes you a better person.
