Gorham describes he semifinal game as a  good ol fashioned mud fest against St. Raphael Academy. The game was highlighted by senior fullback Jamie Silva s 173 yards and three touchdowns on the slippery turf and a 26-21 victory. Finally, they found themselves in the championship game against the number-one seed, La Salle. <br>La Salle was riding a 24-game winning streak that included two state championships. When the game began, the more than 8,000 fans in attendance saw La Salle pick apart East Providence s five-man line until the Townies found themselves facing a 21-point deficit. But the Townies conditioning came through and the dfense stopped La Salle from scoring again. Likewise, the offense did its part as their spread-option attack shocked La Salle with 35 unanswered points, winning East Providence the state title, 35-21. <br>On the bus ride home, the atmosphere was electric.  On any bus ride anywhere after that kind of achievement, kids sing and chant a lot of differnt things, says Coach Gorham.  This year a chant came from the back of the bus that weve never heard before.It was shouted with so much enthusiasm that you just felt the gratitude and belief the kids had in what they were proclaiming. It was the longest and loudest chant on that memorable day. It was  BFS! BFS! BFS! <br>In the post-season awards, four Townies earned first-team all-state honors, with Silva earning a full scholarship to Boston College. With all his players achievements and his own coaching success, it wouldn t surprise anyone if Coach Gorham pursued a job at the college level. But he sayaller athletes are attracted to the sport. In gymnastics, the average height of elite athletes has steadily declined in the past several Olympics because shorter athletes tend to be more successful in this sport. But saying that weightlifting makes you shorter because many elite weightlifters are short would be like saying that basketball makes you taller because most professional basketball players are tall!<br><br>The Numbers Game<br><br>Risk of injury is another area of concern for some coaches and parents. In this regard, it s instructive to look at te many studies that have measured the rate of injuries associated with weight training compared to other sports. For example, a study published in the November/December 2001 issue of the Journal of American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons cited research showing that in children aged 5 to 14 years, the number of injuries from bicycling was almost 400 percent greater than from weightlifting! Also, in a review paper on resistance training for prepubescent and adolescents published this year in Strength and Conditioning Coach (Vol. 9, No. 3), author Mark Shillington reported in a screening of sports-related injuries in school aged children that resistance training was the nominated cause of 0.7 , uIFC    $ &%# #"(-90(*6+"#2D26;=@@@&0FKE>J9?@=C  =)#)==================================================nK" }!1AQa"q2#BR$3br %&'()*456789:CDEFGHIJSTUVWXYZcdefghijstuvwxyz w!1AQaq"2B #3Rbr $4%&'()*56789:CDEFGHIJSTUVWXYZcdefghijstuvwxyz ?91 % *uubĹ;:b 63W!4J )lsZWmˎvv~2tﱈc`沕D#O7<;v3p25"+!d0BA (15d)AY7EՋK H2Obi.OA;#ƥ4:{RX(+wŞ(Kl41p9SM;]efڅx:(Rw ޞqDוˍdqp<ҽ*Ҵ٠D1LI[9޴WJF%>WtlXך8ؑF4M9|zWGA=iq=?LҴa#Kub7q֏ߕE[ -F~*Gz@]|Q;u}6_ְ@Jy+̬AWE +dCՎWs R[%ޓňtoLTˎE¼\3R^FbZI/ ;OQjټ{t!6&Pmrr:}w3IXoCFHL+7gnp8#޲kSxǟ3W 6p3Ҫ U7. $v-ˁl%i#'ԌIM^{p!w r=kM|G9ݻz'O5t⻯VHGދθ9Š&i"#cZF8
