Immediately kids were on the phones soliciting contributions from local paint stores. They succeeded and 26 kids showed up with the paint and brushes in hand. It took six hours (one student s father did donate a sprayer, or it would have taken longer), but this year s team can enjoy coming out to a fresh, new field.<br>Other projects identified and still in the works include<br>" Establishing a Spirit Bus to bring fans to the games. The kids hope to be able to bus in people from retirement communities.<br>" An ongoing tutoring program. Already 16 kids are tutoring other students, mostly in math.<br>" A Lift-a-Thon to raise money.<br>" Organizing the homecoming game, pregame parties and pep rallies.<br>" Each member must perform ten hours of community service each year.<br>" A quarterly newsletter for the 11 s.<br>" A Copper-Silver Drive to help the families of those killed on September 11.<br><br>Obviously, improving the sport programs rates high on the 11 Club s agenda. Student Tony Iacovetto explains why.  Sports are my life and I really want to excel in everything I participate in. When I look at our district championship banners for basketball I really get embarrassed: the last time we had one was back in the  80s. I want to see some pride back at our school. <br>The students wrote their own statement of purpose describing the club s goals:<br> Elevens are not determined by physical characteristics, talent or popularity, but by the choices they make. Elevens live differently and always hold themselves to a higher standard. They never settle for less. Even when the road looks hopeless, 11 s persevere. Everyone can be an 11! All it takes is a willingness to try to better yourself constantly. Everyone falls from time to time, but 11 s get up and, instead of complaining about the fall, learn how to do better the next time. However, no one is an 11 all of the time, but the goal of this program is to help you become an 11 more of the time. Changing yourself will be one of the hardest things you will ever do, but it will be the most rewarding. <br>The last line of the contract reads  I pledge myself to a better way of life in which my good choices and healthy lifestyle clearly distinguish my character. On a scale of one to ten, I choose to be an 11! <br><br>The Football Team<br><br>With such a small student body, mature muscle on the Soroco football field is in high demand.  Last year we only had two seniors, Willie Spicer and Casey Means, says Seale.  These guys sacrificed a lot. We were playing a JV schedule, and they knew we were out of contention for state and all the big titles. Still, they made every game and they really helped the other kids.<br> The team really rallied and we finished with a better record than any from the three previous years. The kids got the idea that it d be nice to dress nicer and went out on their own time, with their own money, and the entire team rented tuxedos for the homecoming game. They wore them the entire day. That really got the community to take notice. <br>Seale believes in calling a spade a spade, and while optimistic about the team s future, he knew this season would probably not be a winning season.  I told them,  If we re lucky, we ll hit 500. But you re the start of something new for Soroco. You re just the beginning.  <br>The team, with four seniors this year, has done a great job both on and off the field. Seale credits the BFS Be An 11 program for both.  We had no problems with the football stars. Grades went up and so did the level of respect. One of my colleagues made a correlation between the 11 s and the honor roll-they seem to go h
