Tailback, Josh Williams, despite playing with a broken bone in his right hand, carried the ball 34 times for 254 yards. Culwell praised,  That was a great effort. He is a true warrior. Next came a big game against unbeaten 10-0 Kingman. The Panthers demolished them easily with a 16-0 shutout victory. This advanced them into the semi-finals of the State Playoffs for the first time in history. Things were getting heated up and the Panthers were on a roll. The barely beat Wellington 16-14 for a shot to play for state crown. <br>The State Championship game against 12-0 undefeated Holto, was Concordia's final test to see if they had what it took to wear the number one crown in the state. They faced number one ranked Holto who had outscored its three opponents in the playoffs earlier this season with a combined score of 128-20. Senior linebacker/fullback, John Hake reports,  I think that is one of our greatest weapons. We don't ever get intimidated. The Panthers played with fury. Dreams and goals were on the verge of becoming a reality. <br>The 6-2, 190 pounder Josh Williams, was the workhorse for Concordia. He had 31 carries for 282 yards. Glimpses of John Hakes eighth grade photo flashed through William's mind with the words  1999 State Champs written on the back. Williams wanted ore than anything for that dream to come true, and a broken hand wasn't going to stand in his way. The Panthers played like the champions that Coach Culwell taught them that they were and at last the sweet victory came. They no longer had to believe because now they knew that they were champions with the 42-21 win over Holton which gave them the honor to call themselves  1999 State Champions. <br>At the end of the 1999 season, after the Pant players reflect an average of ten trials taken on different days. So the times are very accurate. Position players improved, on average .30 seconds i the 60-yard dash in just four months. The Barbe players experienced a 43% increase on the Hex Bar Lift for an average lift of 426 pounds, a 26% increase on the Power Clean, a 36% improvement on the Parallel Squat, a 45% increase with the Box Squat, a 31% rise in their Bench Press and a 35% increase in the Towel Bench. All in just four months on the BFS Program! Seven players Towel Bench Press at least 300 pounds. The average varsity starter does 304 pounds. Six freshmen had an increase of 75% for an average of 219 pounds. The prior experience of these freshmen was none before beginning the BFS Program. It should be noted that Coach Cecchini s pitchers do not Bench Press to the chest but d 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 Luv?0?v`Q G̅-4O H:e@UTb-{ċO }#蟇Tm3RCuV$GPHbjiNxXuu!E? j%tOĄDZ;P`=nHA 0Pm@|Y_U Ib_fJ 4iz^G%zdEFYV4eTDY(o"# LgR,6CT8%Ug1G)%wC相geѡVfXWQOOWoOWFЮşgXG2H,k 8ž/)JD#g8pŌvyo5y|+ivR`B2\zWc|b4/t[X2O.=ƮFcX%}ai GEzou1j Z,A.G$6Χ O,9,d4Y!8 G%FfySP[z"V8y$ x\ol,2ƏB%́%_";+ {m"$d0 V]Ԍwzui qjIk6c۴_(ͩ0Ƀ LjG59}5@PA|l@4/1Il-4]BOi2Sc1PTE2\sOÁ'Rӟ!>q-n| 3G^HN>z3~|1{M}?-e (3ë^"i½|ח\xc/9}&EAX5+wBh^W ݌O +fPv78OjܩlMؚEE͏b+'|~E\$M/xڿ; l&,T_-\Ox}Ґޜ f@kj \P;FS -Xd`VX[Pp%ʻ.rڝA~y}o. 9m}K}S1nc~&renQŏDlXD:Mڙ@Ď# ">yXxu wTSdݱ0;|qҿqKieD\yS  P29t䛍nOIk/Hybz jaZ>ÈcJafJpJrFirPAiƙ-|iB𞓗ƏM?/[Nz㉾ǿCpZkbD(>r__ZT>"9u$@F7'RIOSysP+i!^P._O$cJ86m'TB8I]O8Q'yqn>r'*zcՑ[@ʄqyV)䵿^gXF~_1r 9mM,!ڧ*iɾ 3<}/Rյ{5j׃-ZE/\% e ~iOr^=y15qz䲻t$|; 4]#OeE?OR1N.C~zXxk ؼ~n Drl{7|BԗrP'mw5$w > 7wAڠqTd֫nhN~̴q eR j8ǖ=i4Hu,N8qwܛ}w˗9BGjW#i֚%p’z1 }<]x+锇$~~;Y ^F1xf(]B]~YbFvC;)WU xD]S`j@2:PѩF-2 5h!,Ōj$я}Q$=NT"K&!]n"bxCɸz]({`=a! qRhzĨR:ȃk:6wLrBލlO"d's;-"| k>4-dw忆N[\<~YөOSe;bJԩFL 24dt(Vj }cb@~`;J'|=zqKpB|՘TxS+jWjS޸6Kr_`,XO cG= h)/Pnzwچ}▪vh I;m)jzmL ½zW0N,y@6epBGm@^ {(g] hOHn+X\hɏt#B@LMR]:ᤈzvo\YX?F%K1]]ȗ"Q? #R}HPh:hӣ"-cLEe>mc5u7CO `KaջeC5kZWW4d_+}K^U᳟T)5HR0?zƙ&WGA͆""qWi=!hXٔ(+CmqEj={_A T:Pכ|tG| +1X眂k?+ 5?¯UUЯ/$>9^_*(C?+ WuEyjH}+;c"*< fmu%+ h(Sco2huzwm*!
