The team s strongest athlete, Patterson, managed to push up 185 pounds just two times, while his counterparts were slinging the same weight 30-plus times. <br>This season Patterson was the inaugural member of the John Swett 1,500-Pound Club, which means that in an athlete s four core lifts, he can lift a total of at least 1,500 pounds. Patterson sstrength also helped him earn the co-BSAL Lineman of the Year honor. <br>Vallis was not far behind Patterson in the 1,500-Pound Club. Since starting the program, Vallis said he has improved 150 pounds on his bench press and  a couple hundred on squats and deadlift and 100 on power cleans. <br>  I wasn t doing well at all in the beginning, says Vallis, who was selected as an All-BSAL Lineman.  I couldn t lift a lot of weight and I was fat and slow. I have gained speed, lost weight, gained muscle. I used to weigh 175 pounds. I now weigh 205. <br>But Vallis and Patterson are not the only players that have benefited from the program. Nine other players are in Swett s newly founded 1,00-Pound Club. Once the season started, the added strength showed in terms of overall play.<br>Defensively, the Indians were a brick wall. They notched six shutouts in the 12 games played. As a unit, the defense ranked number one in the East San Francisco Bay Area which also features the nation s top-ranked team, De La Salle for yards allowed per game, allowing 153 per game. The Indians accomplished the feat without one standout all-star, as seven people had over 30 tackles in 10 regular season games played. And if the stellar play in the regular season hadn t been enough, the Indians opened up the North Coast Section playoffs as the number-two seed against number seven, St. Vincent of Petaluma. In that game, Swett s defenstarts in the weight room, with our speed/strength and conditioning program.&nbsp; I feel we have one of the best programs in the state, if not in the country.&nbsp; Personally, I feel that if I didn't have the programs to challenge me I woulw two of its running backs rush for over 1,000 yards. Sophomore Nate Boatwright led the team with 1,119 yards on just 109 carriehroughut the duration of the year.&nbsp; It is a long season, but the program has conditioned my body to be able to withso been, and will continue to be until June 2002, a student-athlete, says Gregoire.  She is not a full-timthe season. First Swett posted 457 yards, and then the team rushed for 577 against Walnut Creek s Berean Christian. In all, the team finished with a Swet record of 3,650 tota rushing yards.<br>Even with his team s offensive and defensive dominance this season, it was something that BFS contributed and did not show in the box score that amazes Angell.  We went through 12 games tis year and we did not have one [muscle] pull, Angell said.  You have 25 to 30 kids out on the field and not to have one get a pull all season, that is amazing. <br>Now, a little less than three months after their incredible playoff run, the Indians have started testing again. As Angell prepares his kids for another year of the BFS program, he cannot help but reflect on how he got involved in the program.<br> They started sending usthe magazines here at the school, said Angell of Bigger Fast Stronger.  We felt we needed to get a program that would help us get better on the football field. We were 2-8 for the past two years. As we were going along, we thought,  We have to get something that will help us compete in this league.  <br>Little did the coach know the program would eventually hel
