Coach Mach said,  I wish more student/athletes could experience Coach Freeborn and the BFS Be An 11 Program. The foundations in the Be An 11 Program are more important today than ever. There are so many negative influences out there, and kids lose their self-esteem and focus. A primary goal of Be An 11 is to help maintain that Championship focus.<br>The Cardinal football team continued preparation for the 2000 season. With seventeen returning starters, Coach Mach new that if they maintained the proper attitude and focus a special season lay ahead. Erich knew  If we trained properly and took the Be An 11 Clinic to heart, we would win another Scenic Bluffs Conference Championship, AND challenge for the State Championship as well. Be An 11 was just one of the special efforts that were made by the Necedah coaching staff and administration who did not leave any stone unturned in preparation for their Championship drive. <br><br>The 2000 Season<br><br>The season began with the usual two-a-day practices but with a twist. Practices took place at the Wisconsin Military Academy. The team practiced, slept and ate on post giving the Cardinals the chance to really gain an insight into themselves and to what it really takes to be a Championship Team. A sense of a  Team With A Dream solidified at the camp as they anxiously prepared for the upcoming season. <br>Proper preparation produced tremendous results as the Cardinals exploded for 41 points IN THE FIRST QUARTER of the opening game. Coach Mach and the team had put it all together, and they marched through their first seven games virtually unchallenged as they dominated the line of scrimmage and each opponent. Once again we see another dedicated coach using the BFS Total Strength and Conditioning Program to turn things around for a school that thought its Championship days were over. Not only did they win, but they dominated their opposition week after week. All of a sudden Necedah was not the dead end place people thought it was. Students, faculty, and the whole community came together to support the efforts of the players. Everyone took great pride in the team s accomplishments.<br>The Cardinals weren t really tested until game eight against the Royal Panthers, the largest school by enrollment in the conference. On an unusually hot October day, the Cardinals and the Panthers fought into overtime. This was the perfect time for the BFS Principles to kick in and the team came through with an exciting goal line stand.  I m convinced our work in the weightroom and our Be An 11 Attitude paid the dividends of victory, noted Coach Mach. The team finished the record setting season undefeated, 9- 0, and a number 2 ranking in the state. Individual records also tumbled as Ryan Seebruck rushed for 1900 yards while only weighing 138 pounds. BFS added to Ryan s durability, his heart and determination did the rest. Cousin Chris Seebruck added a 1250 yard season and a record setting, single game six touchdown performance. <br><br>Adversity Strikes<br><br>The Playoffs started with the same flare as the team seemed invincible. The team marched right to the semis with little challenge. Adversity struck the team, however, in the 14th week of the season when All Conference Player of the Year, Ryan Seebruck, went down with a broken leg. The injury proved to be too much to overcome and the Cardinals lost to the eventual State Champions bringing their dream season to and end. <br>While this State Championship eluded them, nothing can tarnish the glittering results of the Necedah Football Program: Undefeated Season, multiple conference championships, numerous All-Conference and All-State players as well as a renewed sense of pride and accomplishm9WY$+s/6٢V[R'ë}=ǥkbjCDܲj*;՘  ̷-5bU]itC)ac'M_?b 4 PJNFu ) (LOFJ<(``@TFyzp228w>1_mA2iR%*w$ٹ?5_͇.5k=mm-SgTmZfu]4u%PֿԴu{[w=@.{vXV] oVɵKb F S^[S(ÿh+cWwljhH N1pd@y`VDsDD`O]b`uMx"
