Early in the season we lost three close games in a row to fall to a 1-4 record. Rather than throw in the towel, our kids rallied after those three heartbreaking losses and knocked off an undefeated team. We finished 4-5 and won our last game. <br>Our team knows that we could have easily been in the playoff hunt. Yet perhaps the greatest tribute to this group of kids is that they didn t dwell on what could have been or what we should have done, they focused on winning today.<br>Coach Shepard, your seminar made a profound impact on our players and coaches. It was the best financial investment our football program has ever made. We already have captains for next year s team. One of them came up with the idea to have stickers for our helmets with the number eleven. The kids all want to do this. Another captain wants to paint the number 11 in the weight room and the locker room. Our team will be committed to touch it as they pass. Thanks for helping us develop our vision for greatness!<br> <br>The coach sent me their football program book. Some of the players wrote a thank you note. I would like to share one of these from one of last season s captains: <br> Dr. Shepard, you influenced our team to the fullest, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Keep spreading your light. <br>In my quiet moments as I reflect on this experience, it is difficult to hold back the tears. I am so very thankful for coaches and kids like the players at this high school. May God bless our great country and help us all to Be An Eleven a little more often.<br>nals exploded for 41 points IN THE FIRST QUARTER of the opening game. Coach Mach and the team had put it all together, and they marched through their first seven games virtually unchallenged as they dominated the line of scrimmage and each opponent. Once again we see another dedicated coach using the BFS Total Strength and Conditioning Program to turn things around for a school that thought its Championship days were over. Not only did they win, but they dominated their opposition week after week. All of a sudden Necedah was not the dead end place people thought it was. Students, faculty, and the whole community came together to support the efforts of the players. Everyone took great pride in the team s accomplishmens.<br>The Cardinals weren t really tested until game eight against the Royal Panthers, the largest school by enrollment in the conference. On an unusually hot October day, the Cardinals and the Panthers fought into overtime. This was the perfect time for the BFS Principles to kick in and the team came through with an exciting goal line stand.  I m convinced our work in the weightroom and our Be An 11 Attitude paid the dividends of victory, noted Coach Mach. The team finished the record setting season undefeated, 9- 0, and a number 2 ranking in the state. Individual records also tumbled as Ryan Seebruck rushed for 1900 yards while only weighing 138 pou
