When a team has a 35-point lead on an opposing team, the clock will run non-stop until the end of the game or until the 35-point lead is lost. We call this the mercy rule, informed Baker High strength coach, Jade Melby. The Baker Spartan Football Team was able to use this rule in every game of the year except the state championship in which they defeated Huntley Project 24 to 7. Over the year, the Spartans' tallied 561 points while only giving up a mere 35 points to give them a perfect 12-0 record. <br>Coach Melby is positive that their strength was a huge part of their obvious dominance on the field this year. Melby states,  For six years, ever since 7th grade, about 16 boys in the class of 2000 have been lifting weights faithfully one period a day. It s important to know there are only 22 boys in the senior class. The impact of this commitment is obvious. In the senior class, Jace Schillinger benches 405, with five others benching over 300 pounds. Nick Stevenson squats 540, with another 4 athletes squatting over 440 pounds. Nick Stevenson also power cleans 280 with Mac Strait a close second at 275 and Tyler Malchouch 3rd with a clean of 270. It s not just the big guys lifting; others such as Matt Mason and Brian Tromble at weights of only 125 and 150 bench 245 and 265 respectfully and can bench their body weight 30 plus times. <br>Coach Melby continues,  Our weight lifting program has improved steadily through its 6-year duration. Out of 198 people in the student body, we average 95 high school and middle school students that enroll in class each year. This steady program just about guarantees Baker s further dominance for the years to come. ball coaches.<br>Coach Barnett made an important decision,  We re just going  grow a team  . Meaning no quick fixes but a development program to eventually play fourth and fifth year players instead of freshmen. <br>The results were players like fifth year senior center, Rob Johnson, who gained 61 pounds in five years. The Northwestern offensive line in 1992 averaged 264 pounds while last season they averaged 287 pounds. Rob reflected,  I d spend 20 to 25 hours a week in the weight room and eat until I was sick. <br>It is interesting to note that Northwestern has not been able to recruit a Parade High School All-Americans. Michigan got 10 Penn State 7 and Michigan State signed 6 players. Their #1 strength and conditioning goal is to prevent injuries while northwestern had to grow and develop their players to compete.<br>Coach Barnett explained,  When I got here, I saw how these kids got barraged by negative stuff. That s why we started taking these kids to Kenosha before the season. We could plant the seeds that we wanted planted, fertilize and bring it along before they had to come back on campus. <br>The first year of Barnett s grand experiment produced an unmiracuous 3-8 season. The next season saw the Wildcats slip to a two win season then up to a 3-7-1 effort in 1994. However, the scores were closer and there were victories over Boston College and Air Force. The Wildcats also recorded back-to-back road wins over Minnesota and Indiana.<br>As the miracle season approached, Coach Barnett pondered about how to
