The rest of the game was history as San Leandro crashed Bishop O Dowds Homecoming and brought their 19-0 winning streak to a screeching halt. What a victory! <br>The Pirates went on to the playoffs but lost a nail biter to Castro Valley. Then Bishop O Dowd returned with a vengeance to put them out in the semi-finals. Although the Pirates lost in the semi-finals, they were still labeled the Hayword Area Athletic League Champions. Six players were named All-League and inside linebacker Mike Smith was named Defensive Player of the Year. <br>Coach Calcagno says he has really been blessed. San Leandro had not been to the playoffs in eight years and had not won league since 1987. Just three years after taking over a desolate program and incorporating the BFS system, he led the Pirates to a 9-1 record and an HAAL Championship Title. Quite the turn around for the former Pirate himself.<br>When discussing the keys for turning this losing tradition around, Coach Calcagno replied,  On the BFS system the kids are able to see their results as they keep track of sets & reps. This gives them motivation and they don t become stagnant in their workouts. Coach Calcagno went on to explain that the kids need to be training correctly to increase their speed and strength.  The older kids showing the younger ones how to lift is promising to a Coach. To see twenty five freshmen and twenty five sophomores in the weight room lifting is great. <br>During the summer Coach Calcagno has two classes in the weight room, one in the morning and another in the afternoon. The kids have the option to attend either one. Three days a week are spent working on the weights and two days are spent working on plyometrics. There are about 120 kids who attend throughout the day.<br>The Pirates have a motivational weight lifting program called the  Pirate Power System . On this system, all athletes who total over 750 lbs. (by adding the Squat, Bench and Clean) receive a Pirate Power System T-shirt. Athletes that weigh under 150 lbs. follow a special formula to calculate their body weight to determine their eligibility for a T-shirt. For every 100 lbs. over 750, athletes receive a different colored T-shirt. When they reach over 1000 lbs. they receive a sweat suit and plaque. This helps motivate kids to reach their upper limit in the weight room. In the past, San Leandro never had a 1000 lb lifter. After two years of implementing the BFS program, they have five Varsity football players who total over 1,000 lbs. and soon to be seven. More than ten players can Power Clean over 250 lbs. Prior to 1998 they had one athlete in three season who could clean 250. <br>Before the new coaching staff came to San Leandro High, there had not been a scholarship football player in 12 years. Since the new staff has been there and the team has been lifting the BFS way, the Pirates have had three scholarships with ten current players being heavily recruited. the Towel Bench twice per week.<br>Coach Cecchini also has another excellent program feature. He has all the players sign a contract and the coaches in turn sign a 0Q@WY`z`{`WJ|`=W{`WJ|`=W{`%pm@|`=.'S
