Once they get here, we try to work with them. We ve had many success stories of kids who were not that great in the classroom in high school, but who managed to stay in college. Here, our first priority is to get a degree, and then to play football at its highest level.<br><br>BFS: Has your emphasis on education benefitted your football team?<br> <br>JS: That s how we got better as a football team we kept our kids in school. I remember back when we started we had only one senior on our squad; now we have classes of 12-14 and the numbers are growing every year. I think when it gets to the point where we have 20-25 seniors in the program, we can feel optimistic that we can be a strong force every year.<br><br>BFS: Are there any other advantages to going to a small college?<br><br>JS: In a Division 3 school there is room and time for players to be many things at the college. They can come here to play ball, get an education, and still enjoy the benefits that college life affords them. Our team captain, Leon Clark, was student body president. We ve had players who have been editor-in-chief of the school newspaper or involved in student government. And many are dorm advisors, which is a huge responsibility.<br><br>BFS: What about the idea that going to a bigger school would increase an athlete s chances of playing professional football how do you respond to that argument<br><br>JS: When I recruit I emphasis that, by and large, it s four years of football and then it s over. And when those four years are over, you d better have a degree because the likelihood of going on to play professionally is very remote. Besides, if you re good enough, even at this level,the pros will known 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>e years. I knew I had the talent and ability, it was just a matter of showing it. Talk about confidence.<br><br>Kevin intercepted three passes early in training camp scrimmages, then made his mark in an exhibition game against Carolina when he caught the Panthers Tyrone Poole on the 4-yard line after a long punt return. When the dust had settled, he had beaten out four veteran defensive backs for a roster spot including one starter.  A ton of bricks fell off my back, Kevin had sighed.  I could finally breathe again. <br><br>Kevin was standout special teams player last season as a rookie. He also saw time as a reserve defensve back gaining more and more valuable experience as the season progressed. We feel Kevin Devine will only conti
