And it wasn't the Pirates's. Their opponents found themselves flying from the amazing hits that were applied by the Peck players. The players, spectators and coaches had never seen such hard hitting as they saw from the Peck Pirates that night. And that was just the beginning.<br>As the season went on, there was no doubt that the time and hard work spent in the weight room had paid off. On both sides of the ball, offensively and defensively, the Pirates showed they were a much stronger team physically. Assistant coach and defensive coordinator Mike McLaughlin made this observation: "What I saw that first game was unbelievable. All 11 of our defenders were in on almost every tackle as our kids were throwing blockers off themselves to get to the football, and the hits were at a level I had never before witnessed at Peck". <br>What followed were a North Central Thumb League championship and a perfect regular season: 9 wins, 0 losses. The Pirates, a Class D school, went on to beat two Class C schools in addition to four other schools in their division that would later qualify for the state playoffs. The Pirates themselves were back in the state playoffs again with a school record of 10 wins, before bowing out of the playoffs in game 11.<br>It was truly a great season for the Peck Pirates, one that began long before the opening kickoff. The time and commitment these young men made to work hard in the weight room and make themselves better players paid off. There is no doubt that in setting their goals high and having a positive attitude to reach them, the Peck Pirates were able to return to the place they wanted to be: league champions and in the state playoffs. Everyone at Peck is 100 percent committed to the belief that the BFS weight training program was instrumental in turning the team in the direction it needed to go. <br><br>Thanks for sharing your inspirational story. The Peck Pirates demonstrated an Eleven attitude with their  Right Now Theme. <br> - Dr. Greg ShepardCyclone wrestler to win the gold and the legendary Dan Gable was the second, winning in the 1972 Munich Games. The rich history of Iowa Sate is legendary. They have won eight national team championships, plus two unofficial national titles in 1922 and 1923. Hilton Coliseum offers over 14,000 theater-style seats, creating an awesome setting for collegiate wrestling and the Sanderson brothers. <br>Ed Banach, also a wrestling gold medalist in the Los Angeles Olympics from the University of Iowa, is now the Student-Athlete Counselor in charge of academics. He states,  Our student-athletes need to be organized, manage their time well and have a career focus. Banach can proudly point to his Cyclone Academic All-Americans. In 1999, there were five, the most of any team in the country. The Sandersons accounted for three of those and last season they repeated again as Academic All-Americans! <br>The strength and conditioning program at Iowa State wrestling was headed by Jeff Reinardy, who just recently went to Winona State. The Sandersons were impressed with the workouts.  In August, we start with a stadium workout. A lot of people puke. Then we go into plyometrics, stretching, lunges, pushups and wrestling drills. We finish up with a 2-mile run back to the football stadium where we do buddy carries uphill three or four times. And, that s only the half of it, they said with a chuckle. <br>Cael remarked,  I saw a huge increase in leg strength
