This season a lot of our games came down to playing well in the fourth quarter. Our kids knew how hard they had worked, they believed in the program, and that made a huge difference. I attribute a lot of our success to the drive and spirit that our kids gained from being in the BFS program. <br>Recalls Bierly of the Falcons transformation.  When I first started coaching 10 years go, I think we had 18 kids on our football team, and we couldn t even put together a full scrimmage of 11 on 11  we had to run half lines to do it.

They have seen the results that our basketball and football program have had and believe that BFS has had something to do with it. <br>About their athletes tremendous strength gains, Coach Scott Robertson excitedly proclaims,  New records are being broken by both our male and female athletes each testing period. We also have the weight room open after school each day for 2 hours and only the BFS system is allowed.
