During the second half, Huntley s offense was no match for Bakers speed and strength and Baker went on to with the State Championship game 24-7. <br> In Montana, there is a rule in football designed to prevent lop-sided victories from becoming too lop-sided. 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. Җn_<9t?B5H}FdV10*?7dg to keep in mind is when an athlete sprints at maximum velocity with their spikes on, they re doing plyometric work. Some coaches forget that, and this can lead to overtraining.<br><br>BFS: Do you believe that many sprint coaches perform too many sprint drills?<br>DS: Drills are important only if they are performed with quality concentrated effort and actually accomplish the objective, which should be to develop strength and improve mechanical movement. It s also important to distinguish between sprint drills and mobility exercises. A mobility exercise may look like a sprint drill, but it s really just working the full range of movement in the hip joint.<br><br>BFS: Regarding injuries, I understand Dr. Michael Ripley works with your athletes. How has he helped your program?<br>DS: I ve known Dr. Ripley for more than five years, and he is undoubtedly the best sports doctor I have had the pleasure to work with. We ve incorporated a great many of his ideas into our program; his breathing techniques for stretching are especially valuable
