We call this the mercy rule, informed Baker High strength coach, Jade Melby. The Baker Spartan Football Team was able to use this rule in every game of the year except the state championship in which they defeated Huntley Project 24 to 7. Over the year, the Spartans' tallied 561 points while only giving up a mere 35 points to give them a perfect 12-0 record. <br>Coach Melby is positive that their strength was a huge part of their obvious dominance on the field this year. Melby states,  For six years, ever since 7th grade, about 16 boys in the class of 2000 have been lifting weights faithfully one period a day. It s important to know there are only 22 boys in the senior class. The impact of this commitment is obvious. In the senior class, Jace Schillinger benches 405, with five others benching over 300 pounds. Nick Stevenson squats 540, with another 4 athletes squatting over 440 pounds. Nick Stevenson also power cleans 280 with Mac Strait a close second at 275 and Tyler Malchouch 3rd with a clean of 270. It s not just the big guys lifting; others such as Matt Mason and Brian Tromble at weights of only 125 and 150 bench 245 and 265 respectfully and can bench their body weight 30 plus times. <br>Coach Melby continues,  Our weight lifting program has improved steadily through its 6-year duration. Out of 198 people in the student body, we average 95 high school and middle school students that enroll in class each year. This steady program just about guarantees Baker s further dominance for the years to come. of the things that we've been able to do here which has put us ahead of a lot of programs. It's not that we just go out and do the power clean. We take our time teaching it, breaking down the lift into phases. We start with the deadlift, then work on the high pull and then the rack position. You've got to break it down." As an added incentive to put forth 100 percent in the weight room, every May the coaches put on what Dicus calls a "strength show" with the football team. "We do all of our testing on stage in the auditorium for the high school student body and the community. We put the spotlights on them and blare the music it's just unbelievable. Last year about 700 fans came to watch."<br><br>Concerning injuries, Dicus says, "We have been blessed. Over the last several years we haven't had any injuries in the weight room. Also, because our depth is very minimal, in our practices we don't do any tackling where we're going to take them to the ground."<br><br>Although other athletes use the weight room, Dicus says all the workouts are designed along similar lines. "It goes along with Greg's philosophy of training the core lifts, and adding auxiliary lifts that are specific to each sport. And the girls lift right alongside the boys." As for assistance exercises, he favors dumbbell movements because he believes they more effectively improve stability and flexibility, and because they offer a high degree of variety that keeps the motivation high. As for machines, Dicus doesn't use them much because he doesn't think they are appropriate for his situation. "We use predominantly freet it means to lose a part of themselves, and how much it hurts to wreck your own dreams. I would also like to send my deepest apologies
