We have always had good female athletes who have taken pride in conditioning, says Coach Vena. Many of the females who hold weight training records are cheerleaders.  We have to educate these young people to overcome some of the negative myths that have been attached to weight training, says Vena.<br>The coaches and physical education teachers of Fayette County Schools were fortunate to have Jim Brown, Strength and Conditioning Coach at Poplar Bluff Senior High School in Missouri, present a BFS Clinic in February. Coach Brown worked with coaches and athletes from various schools in Fayette County on the BFS Program. Coach Vena will use Jim Brown s efforts to generate a greater desire within the athletes to improve physically and raise student involvement in the weight training program by challenging the athletes to break personal records and recognize their success.  We would like to evolve into model programs such as the ones at Poplar Bluff Junior and Senior High Schools, says Coach Vena. <br>Closer to home, Rising Starr Middle School and Starr s Mill High School provide excellent examples of model programs. The Starr s Mill program was in place and running before they had a school facility. Starr s Mill head football coach, Mike Earwood ordered weight training equipment and had it delivered to Whitewater where he operated his summer strength and conditioning program. The desire to improve athletes remains a high priority at Starr s Mill. The coaches, athletes, and parents moved all the strength and conditioning equipment six times before housing a permanent location for their program. This desire to attain strength, power, speed and agility is what Coach Vena seeks to instill in his athletes.<br>Whitewater s facility transformed from classrooms to bare walls to the achievement of a dream through hard work and determination. Whitewater Middle School has demonstrated that with the proper amount of effort and perseverance, Upper Limit success can be accomplished.<br><br><br>__________<br><br><br> Students who consistently participate in the weight training program have made physical improvements. Students need the opportunity to workout in the weight room on a regular basis.  Coach Vena r players earned First Team All District, the most in school history.<br>Especially noteworthy was Andre Boone, a sophomore who rushed for 1,398 yards, a 6.2 average, and scored 15 touchdowns. Allosso was voted unanimously as Coach of the Year by fellow Beach District coaches. Not to be outdone by his father s great season, Allosso s son Dakota Allosso, a sophomore with a 3.9 GPA, earned Honorable Mention All District as a quarterback and linebacker.<br>Allosso says BFS enabled his team to do things they could not have done otherwise.  In one game we had a 19-play scoring drive without a hiccup  without an offsides and without a mistake. That has to be some type of national record for a high school, and it s all due to BFS. He s serious.<br> We re BFS purists. Other football programs that use BFS might have athletes or coaches or school tradition leading the charge, but we had BFS in that role, says Allosso.  Think about it  you play only 10 games in a football season, a few more if you re in the playoffs, which means the off-season is much longer than the season. BFS is our off-season program, and the whole concept that Dr. Shepard put together leads our charge. That s our catalyst. <br><br>Planning for the Future<br><br>When asked if he thinks the team s recent success could result in a complacent attitude next season, Allosso replied,  We won five games by less than a touchdown  we came from behind to win. We know we cannot be complacent. There are always exceptions and kids are kids, but we feel good about next year because we have the IU (C251ZIr=r>ep;7cmsO4*lzJ(Ƕ-fmŧ2-$ߏ>Yg^G,OE|<jbG~DJZi64p8#'VLN1%k$cfm
