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. And should she make it, she ll represent our nation with honor. She has gone to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs and spent time with the team s sport psychologist, Kirsten Peterson.  She has good insight into my performance personality, said Tricia.  We focused on where my challenges are in sport. She gave me concrete things to try irtant for a goalkeeper, because the rest of the team can feed off of a goalkeepers' play and intensity."<BR><STRONG>--Brad Barnes, SMS Soccer, Senior Goaltender</STRONG></P> <P align=left>"Strength training is one of the most important factors for our style of play and is essential for building a program.&nbsp; In order for our program to compete n a national level our strength and conditioning program is an essential ingredient.&nbsp; Our strength and conditioning program has pushed our players to maximize their strength levels but has also increased vertical jumps and explosiveness in power and athleticism.&nbsp; Our style of play, especially defensively, and the strength and conditionRt$iUuwycd()x>4LyQ:QIX0PڗoZ혝"cbLus<Ǫ*QY9] }HՐ#jSxϗ>D*u6F"lґh?LX+t_WkSo*69dq9PmuSfe$͑)g$vw~ɏ xq1QΠG8ȍoЧ~2ˉq9Z.632'J<: 6a]1FM)3n](пoHBGaSy1$YVV3PDRt 'x^0Mu+[P>J ?towK0MH922-Y}ϳJfŚ8A%#X8V/OTRio"DYO@޵~3*f 0nxMnmpq} 󔘰;,qB_g_=Na|>-Q tܟZlS2;;sei1rXxHTI 1T1UeV&dhQFH5N4g4bH3Pۈ#7уR,=,,xGUZ#7@
