The Univerho is tougher? Coach Ekmark on the left or Coach Shepard. earn their helmets. Our off-season is from January to July so that is quite a commitment. You should see the faces of the kids who don't get them. We have 15 to 20 kids every year get a gold star every week for all four years.<br> Missing a workout is just not acceptable. Parents have supported us on this policy. It is rare when kids miss and our team takes care of things when it happens. We don't accept excuses. We do accept reasons. A reason is given before while an excuse is given after.<br> We were fortunate to have only one injury this year and he was out only a month. It would have been longer but he was in such great condition. I believe everything we do helps in injury prevention but you have to also be lucky. <br><br>THE AGILITY-FLEXIBILITY BLUEPRINT<br>  We do the BFS Dot Drill twice everyday and test it once a month. It is sacred as is our BFS Flexibility Program. For us, a lineman should be able to do the Dot Drill in under 50 seconds, while a back should be able to do it in under 40 seconds.<br><br>THE SPEED-JUMPING <br>BLUEPRINT<br><br> We use the BFS Just Jump for testing the Vertical Jump once a month. Every two weeks we test speed with electronic times. Today (3-31-99) we tested Danny Perry and he improved from 4.72 to 4.55. So we know we are doing alright. Quinn Gooch, running back, improved to 4.52 seconds from 4.7 in one year. Junior Kevin Amidan improved his speed from 5.4 to 4.94 seconds in only one year.<br>At one time, Joe Price weighed over 300 pounds. Scurran told him that he wouldn't let him come out for football if he didn't lose some fat. Joe responded. He got down to a lean, muscular 270 pounds. Consequently, his forty improved from over 6.0 to 5.18 in just one year.<br> We work on speed and plyometrics twice a week, says Scurran.  If our program isn't making every player faster and more explosive, something is wrong. Our kids stay with the program for four years and the not-so-good athletes, by that time, are ready to step in. These success stories are what we expect and get. That's why the kids believe in BFS. <br><br>THE ELIGIBILITY, <br>NUTRITION & FOOTBALL SMARTS BLUEPRINT<br><br> We watch game films everyday, revealed Scurran.  and we do it at of it as another practice. <br>Jim believes that negatives like drugs and alcohol is stuff that gets in your way.  It holds you back. I advise people to be their own person. You are responsible for yourself. If you listen to other people on negatives, you won t go far. <br>The weightroom is a place whnal weightlifting champion Ken Clark, whose picture appears in the BFS Total Program Book, began every workout with several sets of back extension exercises. In 1983, at a body weight of 220 pounds, Clark clean and jerked 470 pounds, an American record that has yet to be equaled.<br>While in Russia, Charniga noticed that not much had changed in regard a Division I scholarship. We're just scrappy little Sabino. <br><br>THE ATHLETICISM <br>BLUEPRINT<br><br>Coach Scurran puts together a complete package. During the summer, they enter passing leagues, usually in California. Last year they traveled 17 hours by bus to play in a Colorado passing league. Said Scurran,  We even entered our linemen and put them with our junior varsity quarterback. They won many games. Our goal is to develop athletes. <br><br>THE TRAINING RULES-<br>DISCIPLINE BLUEPRINT<br><br> Being a Sabercat football player is not easy, reasoned Scurran.  We ask a lot of our kids. We want them to consistently do the right thi
