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 Thomasht room and never allows his handicap to deter him. I was impressed with his work ethic on the field as well. He plays hard every down and was one of the most physical kids on our team. <br> Anthony has been faithful to the BFS system and is currently bench pressing 300-pounds. His other core lifts include a 410-pound parallel squat and a 240-pound power clean, Informed Rich.  Anthony has brought his 40-yard dash time down to 5.2 seconds and hopes to get his time down in the 4's before graduation. He is currently a 16-year old in the first semester of his sophomore year. <br>Homedale started using the BFS System four years ago and the team has now been in the state finals three years running (winning the title in '97). Coach Hoyt attributes the BFS System to the great success of their team. He states,  Coach Asbury's decision to maintain the BFS System with the help of assistant David Carson was the key to the success of Anthony Pearson and the rest of the Trojans. All our athletes and coaches are sold on this system because we see the results and we can make BFS fit our time constraints. Several high schools in our area have had outstanding results using the same system, so BFS will remain our #1 vehicle to success in the future. <br>About this year's season Coach Hoyt continues,  This year the Trojans were supposed to be in a major rebuilding situation with the loss of fifteen seniors, five all-staters, and the player of the year in '97 and '98. After a sensational off-season in the weight room using the BFS core lifts, plyometrics, running, the dot drill and summer passing league, the Trojans managed to finish first in their conference and play in the state title game despite having a new system, and an abnormal amount of team youth (Homedale started two freshmen, two sophomores, and only four seniors on the varsity football team). I guess, with this many athletes returning next year, as well as the return of Anthony, the Trojans are sure to be a dominating force next year as well. my actio
