He was first exposed to the program in 1985 when he was a skinny 145-lb freshman. Three years later he was a 245-lb senior offensive lineman who earned a football scholarship to the University of Indianapolis. It was while playing football in college that he decided to  give something back and became a teacher and football coach. In 1995 he returned to Ohio<br>and accepted the position as strength coach at his own alma mater, Maumee High School.<br> <br> That s when we began a new era at MHS. Our athletic director, Mr. James Robinson, bought us over a thousand dollars of new equipment and I immediately changed the program to one that reflected the BFS principles, says Dryfuse.  We adopted a motto:  The road to victory is paved with iron. I began putting the lifters names on the daily announcements and selling T-shirts with our new motto. Interest grew and before I knew what was happening, I was supervising three shifts of lifters five days a week. Keep in mind, MHS only has about 1000 enrolled!<br><br> This summer our motto was  Make the choice. We managed to post our best stats yet. While Coach Dryfuse is extremely proud of the program s performance, he is most proud of the individual lifters and the efforts they ve put forth. Topping that list is Steve Cole.<br><br> Steve has always been there to help the younger boys. He works hard in the weight room and always uses perfect technique. I ve witnessed his leadership abilities and seen what a positive role model he is, says Dryfuse.  The other day Steve talked about becoming a high school coach some day, and I told him thatas a successful football head coach. Now he is he backfield coach for Parkview High School, which has one of the winnings football programs in the country. When I contacted Steve recently to set up this article, he asked me if I remembered him. Here is what I wrote to him:<br> Coach Brooks, I have always held you in high esteem as a coach and as a man. But it is your example as a father that I cherish most about our acquaintance. I will always remember looking down at your son Craig in his crib when I stayed in your home. I was overcome and lifted by the Holy Spirit. <br>You see, at this same time I also had a son who was just a baby in a crib. My son, Mark, was healthy. Steve s son was born without eyes or an esophagus. In addition, Craig s brain was not fully functional nor would it ever be normal. It was suggested that Craig be placed under institutional care where he wasn t expected to live very long. Some even hinted at just letting little Craig pass on. However, to Steve and his wife Carol, their son was special and God s gift to them. Craig would be raised at home and be greatly loved. I was filled with emotion and gratitude for two things: First, for my son being healthy and second, for Steve s wonderful example. <br>On the recommendations of Dr. Charley Howell, Craig went through several operations and survived. Recently, Coach Brooks gave me an update and sent me a photo of his son. Craig will be 17 this June; my son Mark will turn 17 in July. Craig can hold hands with
