What an accomplishment to go head-to-head with schools over ten times as big and come away victorious: Smallest But Strongest!<br> With the 2000 season approaching, I knew something more was necessary for our team to reach that undisputed championship level, and once again Coach Mach looked to BFS for the answer: a Be An 11 Clinic. With administrative help, Coach Mach brought in Be An 11 Clinician Roger Freeborn to hone Championship attitudes, motivation, and behaviors. Two-way All Conference player Dan Matson said this about the Be An 11 Clinic,  Coach Mach tries to stress many of the same ideas as Coach Freeborn, and it was cool to see there are others who want to Be An 11. The Cardinals demonstrated their desire when they made a run at the BFS Dead Lift Record for schools their size. <br> Be An 11 provided the focus, concentration and direction that helped propel Necedah into the 2000 season. Coach Mach said,  I wish more student/athletes could experience Coach Freeborn and the BFS Be An 11 Program. The foundations in the Be An 11 Program are more important today than ever. There are so many negative influences out there, and kids lose their self-esteem and focus. A primary goal of Be An 11 is to help maintain that Championship focus.<br>The Cardinal football team continued preparation for the 2000 season. With seventeen returning starters, Coach Mach new that if they maintained the proper attitude and focus a special season lay ahead. Erich knew  If we trained properly and took the Be An 11 Clinic to heart, we would win another Scenic Bluffs Conference Championship, AND challenge for the State Championship as well. Be An 11 was just one of the special efforts that were made by the Necedah coaching staff and administration who did not leave any stone unturned in preparation for their Championship drive. <br><br>The 2000 Season<br><br>The season began with the usual two-a-day practices but with a twist. Practices took place at the Wisconsin Military Academy. The team racticed, slept and ate on post giving the Cardinals the chance to really gain an insight into themselves and to what it really takes to be a Championship Team. A sense of a  Team With A Dream solidified at the camp as they anxiously prepared for the upcoming season. <br>Proper preparation produced tremendous results as the Cardinals exploded for 41 points IN THE FIRST QUARTER of the opening game. Coach Mach and the team had put it all together, and they marched through their first seven games virtually unchallenged as they dominated the line of scrimmage and each opponet. Once again we see another dedicated coach using the BFS Total Strength and Conditioning Program to turn things around for a school that thought its Championship days were over. Not only did they win, but they dominated their opposition week after week. All of a sudden Necedah was not the dead end place people thought it was. Students, faculty, and the whole community came together to support the efforts of the players. Everyone took great pride in the team s accomplishments.<br>The Cardinals weren t really tested until game eight against the Royal Panthers, the largest school by enrollment in the conference. On an unusually hot October day, the Cardinals and the Panthers fought into overtime. This was the perfect time fo
