Homedale had a benefit auction and The Make A Wish Foundation supplied me with a computer to help with schoolwork. My fifth grade class made me a blanket, one of my elementary teachers visited me at home to help me with my school work (I was out of school for a year). Steve Larzelier, one of my best friends, called, visited and sent me cards as often as he could. Anthony still feels a great deal of gratitude for all of those who went the extra mile to help him through this tough time. <br>In reflection of the amputation, Anthony remembered,  For a while, I wanted to play college and pro football. After I lost my leg, it was hard realizing I probably couldn't ever do those things. However, it doesn't really bother me now I don't often think about it. When I asked Anthony how he was able to overcome these physical and mental obstacles so quickly he replied, "I always maintain a positive attitude and will go the extra mile to accomplish what others may view as routine. I always try to set goals for myself and work hard to obtaining them. My mom always tells me there is nothing I can't do. <br>When asked if it hurt to lift weights or play sports, Anthony responded,  Sometimes. It especially hurts in football at the end of practice or games because the stump shrinks making the prostheses rub me raw and it hits the pressure points making me real sore. I don't think it bothers me that much in the weight room, but I have worn out several prostheses because of my work ethic. Vouching for his incredible work ethic, Anthony's head football coach, Greg Asbury, stated,  Anthony is an inspiration to everyone in our program. He works hard in the weight room and never allows his handicap to deter him. I was impressed with his work ethic on the field as well. He plays hard every down and was one of the most physical kids on our team. <br> Anthony has been faithful to the BFS system and is currently bench pressing 300-pounds. His other core lifts include a 410-pound parallel squat and a 240-pound power clean, Informed Rich.  Anthony has brought his 40-yard dash time down to 5.2 seconds and hopes to get his time down in the 4's before graduation. He is currently a 16-year old in the first semester of his sophomore year. <br>Homedale started using the BFS System four years ago and the team has now been in the state finals three years running (winning the title in '97). Coach Hoyt attributes the BFS System to the great success of their team. He states,  Coach Asbury's decision to maintain the BFS System with the help of assistant David Carson was the key to the success of Anthony Pearson and the rest of the Trojans. All our athletes and coaches are sold on this system because we see the results and we can make BFS fit our time constraints. Several high schools in our area have had outstanding results using the same system, so BFS will remain our #1 vehicle to success in the future. <br>About this year's season Coach Hoyt continues,  This year the Trojans were supposed to be in a major rebuilding situation with the loss of fifteen seniors, five all-staters, and the player of the year in '97 and '98. After a sensational off-season in the weight room using the BFS core lifts, plyometrics, running, the dot drill and summer passing league, the T
