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. They were supposed to get crushed. So what do you do to get ready to play such an intimidating foe? Anthony just smiled.  We sang the 12 Days of Christmas as loud as we could. It was a controlled calm and intensity. PLU won 42-13.<br>The Lutes of PLU won in only their second year in NCAA Division III football. Their men s teams compete in 11 sports while the women compete in 10 sports. They are in a nine-school alliance called the Northwest Conference. PLU has won the All-Sports Trophy 13 times in its 14-year history. The Lutes play their football at Sparks Stadium which is covered and seats 4,500. The stadium features artificial turf and a large press box.<br>Anthony has only missed three workouts in his entire college career. He has achieved a 333- pound Power Clean, a Parallel Squat of 650 and a 475 Bench.  The thing that has changed, says Anthony,  is my body fat. It is 6.3% and I m 5-11 and weigh 221 pounds. At the pro combine in March, Anthony had a great day. He Benched 225 for 28 reps, ran a 4.49 forty and soared to 37.5 inches on the Vertical Jump. <br> To play football in the NFL used to be a dream. Now it s a goal. A realistic one, smiled Anthony confidently.  To be successful you have to have determination and have unity. Everyone striving to make themselves into their best selves. At PLU you have to work for everything. For two-a days we took a trip down the Oregon Coast. No footballs were allowed. We had fun and got unified. Nothing about football. It was all about relationships. We talked about expectations. We had competitions. We won our first game and we were unified. Somehow, we were also completely organized. <br>Anthony made six different All-America teams. He rushed for 116.6 yards per game and scored 23 touchdowns. En route to the national championship, Anthony set a playoff record for touchdowns. He was also the MVP of the Lutheran All-Americans which consists of colleges from Division I-AA to Division III. Anthony was the Northwest League MVP and also a PLU team captain and PLU MVP. In 1998 Anthony was Conference Offensive Player of the Year. Have all these honors gone to his head? <br>Not in the slightest. Anthony s favorite saying is about this very subject.  To be humble when brought low is one thing but to be humble when praised upon is a rare and great achievement. Anthony also believes the most important thing in his life is God. He will graduate
