David remembered, "People were not going to run against us. In one game, our opponents had a 250 pound fullback who ran a 4.4 forty. We stuffed him 4 times. The team did it. When it's third and long, we just said, 'we gotta get 'em'."</P> <P>Nebraska offered David a full football scholarship and he accepted. They have him at offensive center at the present time and David is looking forward to a great career as a Cornhusker. After that, well, if the opportunity comes, he would like to play pro-ball. David is always thankful. "I owe so many people and God. I need to do things for others. I need to help others to pay back what I've been given.</P> <P>"At Nebraska, I will be a student first and then play football. However, I believe that athletics can build character and develop you as a person. Athletics have saved some of my teammates. After Pro-ball, if that comes my way, I'd like to be a Park Ranger in Wyoming or Montana. Maybe start a church up there."</P> <P>David believes that hard work and determination is the key to being successful. "You must also have a love of what you are doing," said David. "Having people around you that care and that can teach you is also important in being successful. Have the heart to do your best and whatever you do, go all out. My dad says to do it 110 percent."&nbsp;</P> <P>David has unusual values. For example, in his freshman year in high school, he had an "F" grade half way through the term in one class. One of his friends who was in the same situation got out and got a different teacher. His friend got a "B" but David stuck it out and took his "F" grade. David does not believe in quitting anything. Last year he made it up and got an "A" grade.&nbsp;</P> <P>Peer pressure is tough for most people including David. "When I was in Poplar Bluff," said David, "there wasn't a whole lot to do, so a lot of kids used alcohol. Up here at Hazelwood East, it was easier. I have always thought it was stupid to get involved in alcohol or drugs. It's like putting a gun to your face. I ended up getting a girlfriend who was morally, academically and spiritually squared away. When we went out, we studied and had fun without drugs or alcohol. I won't have it - being around people who drink.&nbsp;</P> <P>"I have never had any kind of drug and that includes marijuana. I have never had a beer, ever! I don't drink. No one really gave me peer pressure. I think people respect you when you take a firm stand. People would say, 'Cool. That's good.' I have never seen anything good come out of it. It doesn't make you rich or healthy.&nbsp;</P> <P>"I believe in being a good Christian. The spiritual area of life is the most important part of life. You can have your football and school but you need to have the spiritual side of life to make those things truly meaningful."&nbsp;</P> <P>We thank David for being an Upper Limit person and for being such a wonderful example. We thank Jim Brown for getting him started on the right path in strength and conditioning and all the other teachers and coaches who played a role in his development. We thank Mr. and Mrs. Paul Webber for helping us with this article and raising such a fine son. We wish David the very best in this next important stage of his life at Nebraska. Go get 'em!&nbsp;</P>w that whatever he does, he is moving forward toward a goal.<br><br>Batting average: Upturns in success are separated by valleys of failure.
