My parents have helped me to stay humble and to handle adversity. <br>As for drugs and alcohol, Tom is totally against them for teens and athletes. It was a wonderful thing for Tom to be able to look me straight in the eye and declare in all truthfulness that he had never had one drop of alcohol or gone near an illegal drug.  Taking drugs and drinking alcohol are not good decisions, confirms Tom.  Not even a little bit. If you do something illegal long enough, you are going to get caught. I will never do it. I want to surround myself with good people and, thankfully, I have been in a good environment. <br>Whenever an athlete like Tom has extraordinary strength, the question of steroids invariably comes up.  Steroids have never been an option, says Tom.  I never even think about it. If you think you need steroids, you are thinking and training wrong. Nothing could ever make me take steroids. <br> The Be An Eleven concept is important here at Park High School . . . to be a great individual in all areas like athletics, school, family and community, says Tom.  To me, it is going the extra step to stand out. Spiritual values are also important. It also became known to me that Tom prays every day.<br>Tom tries to be an example, and he is very much aware that the younger athletes and students are looking to him for leadership. He tells others,  Have fortitude. Have courage and strength of mind. Make your family important. If I couldn t play football again, I would still consider myself fortunate. <br>I want to mention two other amazing facts about Tom s life. First, Tom does not have a driver s license and does not drive. His driver education class conflicted with his workouts and the start of football practice, so he chose football.<br>Second, Tom was elected homecoming king last fall. At the presentation ceremony, he gave his crown to his little brother Joey, who has Down syndrome. Joey was all smiles and so was everyone else as he stood as king at the homecoming assembly. <br>Tom is a true Eleven, and we at BFS wish him well as he embarks on the next chapter of his life at the University of Iowa. Our thanks go to Tom, his parents and Coach Ekmark for this inspiring story. <br><br><br><br>ey traveled 17 hours by bus to play in a Colorado passing league. Said Scurran,  We even entered our linemen and seniors this year, has done a great job both on and off the field. Seale credits the BFS Be An 11 program for both.  We had no problems with the football stars. Grades went up and so did the level of respect. One of my colleagues made a correlation between the 11 s and the honor roll-they seem to go hand in hand.<br> These days it s the kids getting after me instead of me going after them. The gains in the weight room have been phenomenal. Huge gains. And it s all them. <br><br>Making the Choice<br><br>While sports and academics are two great reasons for a school to host a Be An 11 clinic, there are other matters of far greater consequence.dPIThb;Ί30a\GZ52(ڇz|M=G \l!ٕOEZ k^[?V*CcH'" dBNw#YQ݊GUiZ{XK_,+W▻xv듄x"7H$ Qyd=qdh\3~<`O<床pd{دӏ+g"i׶8x}>@HYHi8iQ\7!AA nw?qE/[혤1'Zve? hUn)pOk !w4N6Z;ҪpiӸVUBUbS23RœHŅLLQ)C=y6 Xn% e\&9GbGڍyՙO's 4&F >x(drcอ J&?ih.@eD.^mȐ R mb2H Y `B#Rz^H"-)\k>ߒrWr6 7YMlk/>{Rvv(]zYtd2G(Jހ0`NQ8;pyu4޻xp P;\*FP*~c^vuǓr+)O'zՍƫ-Kr̩- N*WMג  >eO,66km @2#V~X"|v1,,vލ$>#GoePO٭W*5H1~IL8Qunö(٘ RkݕAv,ۚ|ڟ I:?JُӾHy?RXv饺)+ۧBh\!>߉X 0p u ?+MSOq0ꑒL TCzT~!.Vؤ e־2Z9JS":Ho5HDy-6!8G*b?r"vTj#a'T=e26z.42q(JE1x]H'،Rc VA3|EZ,ݜT "yLO*׋F'Jq׷_K4@ZW"@:ܿ: [ OQDXTV*ySoھܳKNK|5ftX\8U`U#lku$~ꟽ<9Ssǿکgfpİ4ʒr w3z4oG¿_CTx;͎ʁցz XRR'nUP>칾MNխ>2zN<ƿGňDH: 1%3ԌAnB:OjrGŽzSk߆; |IeU;n ZK  YVoә?Obֵx{֝D0<[y~Ō,AߗP~{uD\pAw8χW?j~߾izk1ȣc;y7cl:-F+ʻV?ʮ#uF!"E Cql#S45'/Zֿ+>?gwRQUO7`E3z"@lžW.ޝ~qO Εn쩏 ܨ17 Iպhg$S5Iʻ='?ZyU}N^>?R>xmތkOĂj(jPِlZ7O,2O>4Xq˕?;1nd6 I}1 5 $kńhC 7=(pە? wZXM8)#qgn\J3(mmƘzGͫ=}/.ue|\"IGn4hGLqqq4(PWb11?ǷF)5b|S0sTe=T|)w䴯o_W\;6SٲWi=!hX(+CmqEj={_A T:Pכ|tG
