I sat on the sideline almost in tears thinking that I had played my last down of football ever. However, through my faith in myself and faith in God, I was able to come back to finish district playoff games and lead my team to the quarterfinals. <br><br>Scholarship<br><br>Conrad was the valedictorian at Malden High School. He received an  A in every class all four years except one and that was an  A- because he missed a class for a track meet. Conrad s secret?  I tried to really focus on every word my teachers said. At college, studies always come first. The coaches at Central really support this. <br><br>Leadership and General Character<br><br>Conrad leads by example in all areas of life, but one area that is most impressive is his leadership in relation to drugs, alcohol and tobacco.  Anything that is going to hurt your body, says Conrad,  you must stay away from. Drugs, alcohol and/or tobacco are not for anybody; athlete or non-athlete. Conrad has never gone near a drug, taken a sip of alcohol or touched a tobacco product. <br> It was never hard for me, explained Conrad.  The first time I was offered was at an 8th grade party. I decided to go home. I asked if anyone wanted to leave with me and one person did. We ended up watching a movie and eating pizza. Coach Ivie has had both his sons, Conrad and younger brother Cole repeat the BFS Three Rules For Success and do the BFS Dot Drill before breakfast since they were two years old. They do this everyday. One of those rules is to  refuse to associate with anyone, anyplace or anything that will create mediocrity or negativity. Conrad refuses to associate in a drug, alcohol or tobacco situation. <br>Conrad always gives out his cell phone number and offers to drive others home. He warns,  Don t drive with alcohol in you. When you keep saying  no to alcohol people start respecting you and eventually they just stop asking. There is always other things to do like going to the movies, etc. I also believe part of leadership is being a good role model because tiny eyes are always watching. <br> It s nice to have people around you who believe in you, asserted Conrad.  I am lucky to have such wonderful parents, family, friends and teammates. <br><br>Proper Perspective<br><br>The following is part of Conrad s valedictorian speech:  In the ancient Greek Olympic Games, the motto was enkrateutes, prosexairo, pera - faster, higher, further. It was not faster than every one else, higher than the rest of the competition, or further than anyone else. Just faster, higher and farther. Today, I am going to tell you the two things that everyone must have in order to take themselves faster, higher and further. <br>The first thing you must have is faith. You must have faith in yourself and faith in God. First is faith in God, He has a plan for each and every one of us. We must trust Him and the plan He has for us and try to folloάg_:ސv$f8gNltp9 .FT)֚ ;ul}^pp M=3 cEKP9ғhv2O S㓌(E8v4 } ( ⪘9֣YB֪sLFi!X`gȹ#m4uP\r68ŏJxqBJޕbS~9DXoSSED*x~(GM_QEIݩ_P NQS@;*EJ( ShTQE Ey>~5N^(@WESer our kids know that when we get to the fourth quarter, we ll be stronger because we ve paid our dues in the weight room. <br><br>The Winning Staff<br><br>Parkview has an experienced coaching saff that includes three ex-head football coaches. Leading the team is head coach Cecil Flowe, who has been with the Panthers for 12 years. <br>Relying on a multiple pro-set offense and a 4-3 defense, Flowe says he adjusts his coaching according to the talent available rather than trying to force his playerrZP^id system. He agrees with Whitley that it s essential for his athletes to work hard year-round in the weight room, and he subscribes to the motto  You don t make a first down on what you did the year before. <br> It seems that every year we get one of the marquee players who will intercept, say, 15 passes and catch 60 balls on offensive, and people think that s the reason we win, says Flowe.  But this is not the case with us because when those types of players graduate, we still come back the next year and win again. Our success is a testament to how hard our players work and how much they believe in our system, our staff and each other. <br><br><br>BE GRAT
