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 couldn 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 about 30 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 they 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 going 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. rip to the state championship. And there is reason for their optimism.

To the left are some examples. <br><br>It was fitting that the Pro Football Hall of Fame was located in Canton. It is the cradle of football. The Massillon-Canton McKinley is a 104-year high school rivalry. Pro Football got its start in the Northeast Ohio area. The tradition continues today as strong as ever.<br><br>Fan support in Canton is off the meter for their high school team just like Massillon s. There are 2,500 season ticket holders. Games are played on Fawcett Field and they allow the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game to be annually played on their field. About 100,000 fanatical fans attend Canton s games each year. McKinley s annual war with Massillon draws a standing room only crowd of 23,000. The McKinley Bulldogs have come out on top of the Tigers four years in a row including a 27-14 victory last season. <br><br>Fawcett Stadium recently had a<br>multi-million dollar renovation including new locker rooms, weight room equipment and scoreboard. The natural grass field has been replaced with artificial turf. 1997 was a dream season for Coach McDaniels who not only won the state and national titles last December but he did it with his son Ben, the quarterback, who is only a junior.
