Most important, the team was experiencing success. Success led to confidence, and confidence created more success. In close games, the Hornets found ways to win. This was a complete change from two years earlier.<br><br>BEYOND FOOTBALL<br><br>The Hornets program involves more than the game of football. As in many schools throughout the country, our football players are role models. Middle school and elementary students look forward to the day they will be able to suit up in Hornet orange and black on Friday nights. <br>As role models and representatives of our school and community, players are encouraged to become Elevens, in the words of BFS. Coach Harris begins each season with this challenge to the team:  I want every player to set an example on and off the football field. Don t just be an inspiration for the younger kids in practice and in the games. Be an inspiration in class, in town, everywhere you go. Be a positive influence. You always represent the team. <br>This team concept is promoted in a variety of ways. Instead of individual players being introduced before a game, the squad is introduced as the Hornet Football Team and all the players come running onto the field as a unit. Likewise, a team flag was created; and following each win, a victory ribbon is attached and the entire squad accompanies the flag as it is carried in front of the fans. <br>The players have taken on a sense of ownership in the football program. Next season, at their request, the weight room will have squad leaders. The squad leaders will be seniors. Each squad will be made up of ninth through twelfth graders. The squad leaders will mentor and assist younger athletes. The goal is to get even more participation in the weight room and create an incentive for athletes to learn the BFS system so well that they may become squad leaders in the future. Our football players focus on helping teammates because it feels great and because it will ultimately help the team. <br>Helping others goes beyond the field and weight room. At the suggestion of Kathy Harris, Coach Harris wife, a reading program was established. On Fridays game days varsity players, dressed in their game shirts, travel to the elementary schools. There they spend 30 to 45 minutes reading to the elementary students, kindergarten through sixth grade. This is a major endeavor requiring coordination and cooperation of administration, high school faculty and staff, elementary teachers, coaching staff and the players. One glance at the expression on the younger students faces as they listen tells the story: the results are worth the effort. <br>It would be wonderful to conclude the Hornets story with a picture of a 2002 state championship trophy, but we didn t reach that goal. We did make the playoffs, a substantial achievement for a team that was 0-9 a couple of seasons earlier. More important, however, are the lessons we learned and the individual contributions each member made to this team. Many contributions took place far away from the football field and turned into great lessons about what is important in life. on the right road and are heading for our Upper Limit.&nbsp; Thanks Bigger Faster Stronger, for all of your help and ideas! </P>e Jaguars but pondered the long odds for an undrafted free agent to make the team.<br><br>Kevin said,  I felt strong and healthy for the first time in two or three years. I knew I had the talent and ability, it was just a matter of showing it. Talk about confidence.<br
