The BFS program allowed us to do that by making a world class program that fit into the time constraints imposed by school and other sports. When BFS clinician Bob Doyle rattled off the impressive list of BFS champions during his 1998 visit, we listened with many doubts. Today, he would be preaching to the choir. <br>The BFS program also benefits us in some less obvious ways. Head Coach, Jim Ryan, encourages our players to go out for other sports. His profound belief that  any time an athlete is put into a competitive environment he will make himself a better total athlete, has been a major factor in our success. On the 2000 championship team, all but three of our starting spots were filled by multi-sport athletes. We do not feel that our players would be so comfortable playing multiple sports if they did not feel that they could improve in the weight room at the same time. The BFS program allows them to do this.<br>This year's District Championship Wrestling Team was loaded with football players. Kenny Jones (171), Andy Blomquist (189), and Jamal Bryant (HVY) brought home individual district championships. Our basketball team fought its way into the sweet sixteen with our championship quarterback, Joe Stanton, as their second leading scorer. This year's baseball team will challenge for conference and regional honors with DE Todd Stefanini, CB Dan Kost, DT Andy Blomquist, OT Matt Paradise, and WR Bob Binggeli. Our track and field team is loaded with football players. Kenny Jones (All-State in football and wrestling) toys with 15' in the pole vault and is a valued hurdler and long jumper. Our shot and discus team is led by OT Steve Hulec. Sprinters and hurdlers WR Nick Weeden, WR Andy Jocke, and DE Shaun Wehe provided valuable depth in both sports.<br>BFS also provided opportunities for players who could not have otherwise measured up to the challenges. Senior, Matt Paradise, stepped off of the special teams and into the starting line up as a 180-pound tackle. Although severely undersized, his great off-season work habits helped him to fill the bill. <br>The championship run would not have been possible without avoiding the injury bug. We lost only one player for the season and that was an unpredictable injury. Starting tackle and National Honor Society member, Russ Mahoney, bruised an intestine that required surgery. Our only other serious injury came when all-state 1st team center and wrestler Justin Funk injured his knee in the second quarter of the state championship game. He played the rest of the game without an ACL, refusing tape, brace, or medication. That is amazing. That is Bulldog attitude.<br>There is something intangible about a team that works together in the weight room throughout the year. The constant support that they receive from each other as they strive to become their personal best builds tremendous esprit de corps. They become a team in the truest sense of the word and epitomize the bulldog philosophy that was so well stated by Casey Stengle,  It is amazing what can be accomplished if no one worries about who gets the credit. <br>To learn more about Bulldog Football, please visit our web site at:www.ofhsbulldogfootball.homestead.com<br><br
