On both sides of the ball, offensively and defensively, the Pirates showed they were a much stronger team physically. Assistant coach and defensive coordinator Mike McLaughlin made this observation: "What I saw that first game was unbelievable. All 11 of our defenders were in on almost every tackle as our kids were throwing blockers off themselves to get to the football, and the hits were at a level I had never before witnessed at Peck". <br>What followed were a North Central Thumb League championship and a perfect regular season: 9 wins, 0 losses. The Pirates, a Class D school, went on to beat two Class C schools in addition to four other schools in their division that would later qualify for the state playoffs. The Pirates themselves were back in the state playoffs again with a school record of 10 wins, before bowing out of the playoffs in game 11.<br>It was truly a great season for the Peck Pirates, one that began long before the opening kickoff. The time and commitment these young men made to work hard in the weight room and make themselves better players paid off. There is no doubt that in setting their goals high and having a positive attitude to reach them, the Peck Pirates were able to return to the place they wanted to be: league champions and in the state playoffs. Everyone at Peck is 100 percent committed to the belief that the BFS weight training program was instrumental in turning the team in the direction it needed to go. <br><br>Thanks for sharing your inspirational story. The Peck Pirates demonstrated an Eleven attitude with their  Right Now Theme. <br> - Dr. Greg Shepardr>Stuart Jordan, at 6 2 and 220 pounds, is the most imposing figure of the threesome and batted .305 with 15 doubles and 35 RBI s a season ago. In addition to his left-handed power to all fields at the plate, this Marietta, Georgian has shown his versatility by switching from left field to right field in preparation for the 2000 campaign.<br> Last year, Stuart made a very smooth transition to play left field after serving as our designated hitter in 1998, Fred Jordan said.  This year, we asked him to move to right field and he has successfully done that. Stuart is a very good athlete and has become one of the top run-throw- and hit guys in our conference. <br>Jordan credits his choice of diet for his peak physical condition. He stays away from fast and fried foods as well as carbonated water. The Waffle House is a popular stop for breakfast, where he typically orders six egg whites, two chicken breasts, steamed hash browns and dry wheat toast.  I get some funny looks from the cooks when they get my order, says Jordan.  They peak around the corner like,  Who ordered that?! Jordan also favors snacks of cans of tuna (about three a day) and protein supplement shakes. As for superstitions, Jordan puts in the same one- hour lifting session prior to every game.<br>Hitting two slots behind Morris in the number three position, Jordan is off to a .317 start with eight stolen bases. Earlier this year, he had a 19-game hitting streak, the sixth-longest in school history. <br>As for the class work, all three Bulldogs earned spots on the Athletic Director s Honor Roll with semester grade point averages of 3.0 or better with Morris leading the way with a 3.813 average.<br>Eligibility-wise, all three are juniors and scheduled to graduate on time. For red-shirts Byrd and Jordan, graduation is this spring. However, both are looking forward to returning for their final year of eligibility. The Bulldog staff is looking forward to it also.<br> Having three returning starters in the outfield this year has been tremendous for us, says Coach Jordan.  Having three, three-year starters out there next year is something I don t think we ve ever had here and I can t wait to see it. <br><br>__________<br><br><br>STAT CHART<br
