Riggs was voted the team MVP and earned an athletic scholarship to Shepherd College.<br>Two other seniors who became local celebrities for their outstanding play wre quarterback Gary Ward and linebacker/wide receiver Josh Funk. Ward, who also becamethe leading scorer in school history for the basketball team with 1425 points, passed for 1245 yards an rushed for 432 yards. Those stats include 16 passing TD s and six rushing TD s. Funk, who received a scholarship to Ohio State for lacrosse, had 31 catches for 691 yards, 68 tackles and six sacks.<br> One big difference the BFS program made was in raising the level of confidence in our kids, says Hurd.  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 coldn t even put together a full scrimmage of 11 on 11  we had to run half lines to do it. I also remember times when our games drew only about30 people to the stands. At our last game we had 2,500 people in the stands. <br>Adds Hurd,  During the past several years our football players had gotten used to disappointment, but now hey walk in the community with chests out and heads high  and they are always wearing their jerseys or their BFS shirts. Everyone in the community is proud of what we ve done this year by gong 10-0. We are excited about seeing our one-year gains and seeing what it s going to be like when our freshmen become seniors. Our program is going to continue to grow by becoming bigger and faster and stronger as we take it to the next level. against Colorado State, which ws ranked 19th going into Pasadena and had the advantage of having already played two games. The Bruins defeated the Rams 30-19 in a thrilling match that saw the Rams ahead going into the fourth quarter.<br>Saffer has had great memories so far playing on the 2002 UCLA team.  Other than the fact that there's a lot of xperience on this line, one of the great things about this offensive line is that everybody on the line enjoys hanging out together, off the field as well as on the field, says Saffer.  This really promotes team unity and even helps us on the field because we're able to communicate better -- it seems like we know what each other is thinking before we're thinking it. This is important, because with the offensive line you have to play as a unit. <br>Asked what advice he would give young offensive linemen,Saffer replies,  You need to make sure you know your sets, and know what you're supposed to do on every play. But I would say the most important aspect of being a lineman is to be a technician-if your technique isn't good then you've got nothing. As for which college a high school athlete should aspire to, Saffer believes an athlete can't go wrong with UCLA.  UCLA has the perfect combination of athletics and academia. It's easy to get lost in athletics, but they've got such a great academic program you can really involve yourself in those classes as well. Also, our fans are loyal and support us with everything they've got. <br>Among the people Saffer wants to thank for helping him achieve his goals are Jerry Ho
