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. yu+E;AdžߴpuxCo<`r?4a΃'Aih6&sQ\9Ca5a2c1DJUNOf#$$4I{쑷ӂ1[؉ܖX:.NncZ2_'rM)F\};aTT0Wc튡\]mc$qAӷӊ/ъ[%Ȏ! i\x V@{cz #^XiѦ9F">ӧ~P UUX'̝>[H1EၱeE4=|0BMJmA?A Mkz[z\pS w(پ.--C JZjezc B^M!HU>鱧zyIC}F/U#Q&HH0r<4N$e #pFM=NdZ&-7忝XqZB T,I_ٳiZJa:X~ҰK$wƻOfVK~jsL 2g&͑,+v}`y ȶ0~@CǮpاiw[Izӭ7CZ휷607[Nw6" = 8Nl`&ij~ՈJ_Y3bg&͒ Xb9l$wb?3y6l%%2鶙m" kv~ ֛#L" }i^ >[Swڿ,>>lP

David Harvey-Bowen of Churchville Chili High School just outside of Rochester, New York is the 1998 Bigger Faster Stronger Athlete of the Year. He becomes the 19th recipient of our most prestigious award. Selection is based on athletic acAA@_gVFw +Sñ P2ioOS ʈ B*-FPw$?Egd.?ٚ #]7I}ymU"VNrrZUqs proper perspective. David has proven his worth in all of the above areas. He is the strongest athlete to ever receive this award.
I have followed David's career since his 9th grade year when $30 H  bour Winter 1995 BFS Journal. I labeled him as a 15-year old phenom. Since then, he has also been selected to our First Team BFS High School America Team. I was very anxious to meet David at the press conference and special school assembly on his behalf. I was also anxious to meet his coach, Paul Dick, who spent so many hours with David as his foo @a6Ath coach.
I was not disappointed. I saw immediately that we at BFS had made a wise choice. David was humble and polite. He had the respect and admiration of everyone. David's best trait, I believe, was the ability to make everyone around him feel like a good friend. One young man in a wheelchair, who was in special education, came to see David get his award because David had always taken time to make him feel important.
Coach Dick wrote me a letter back in 1995 about David and claimed ml> oi0KЌ#‚ oRhEzLrK vD B7a u$b gnڋIɁŴe[hTШ8oly5.O[>.# .v8ړܣ#ýs* q,ow2H㉆vbś:e{ޔƿ mɩǤB.̇e\{ʡG#@j 0AdLi#a[+7.=Q61NK h"1}^"K} 4hzR>rf<0]+p&B9xl0D(jrOTqPWe !=a~S1AʫJȃ\2"rm4X69 )fxJ=?:P#){:?ALиޛ =$_U _i342Tc='2+Է+ʧSl6\A/+Bө8G;~%M:baR!Ѷ8T܊c;Ňz\NKc7F71,X-h']v]Ͻ QHMp )kd(ި
