Patterson s strength also helped him earn the co-BSAL Lineman of the Year honor. <br>Vallis was not far behind Patterson in the 1,500-Pound Club. Since starting the program, Vallis said he has improved 150 pounds on his bench press and  a couple hundred on squats and deadlift and 100 on power cleans. <br>  I wasn t doing well at all in the beginning, says Vallis, who was selected as an All-BSAL Lineman.  I couldn t lift a lot of weight and I was fat and slow. I have gained speed, lost weight, gained muscle. I used to weigh 175 pounds. I now weigh 205. <br>But Vallis and Patterson are not the only players that have benefited from the program. Nine other players are in Swett s newly founded 1,200-Pound Club. Once the season started, the added strength showed in terms of overall play.<br>Defensively, the Indians were a brick wall. They notched six shutouts in the 12 games played. As a unit, the defense ranked number one in the East San Francisco Bay Area which also features the nation s top-ranked team, De La Salle for yards allowed per game, allowing 153 per game. The Indians accomplished the feat without one standout all-star, as seven people had over 30 tackles in 10 regular season games played. And if the stellar play in the regular season hadn t been enough, the Indians opened up the North Coast Section playoffs as the number-two seed against number seven, St. Vincent of Petaluma. In that game, Swett s defense held the Mustangs to just eight yards of total offense, which is an NCS playoff record.<br>While the Indians were more than solid on defense, it was their offense that stunned their competition with a devastating ground attack. John Swett saw two of its running backs rush for over 1,000 yards. Sophomore Nate Boatwright led the team with 1,119 yards on just 109 carries (10.3 yards per carry). Anthony Parrish had 1,067 yards on 96 carries (11.1 ypc). Cole Adam shipped in with 821 yards on 82 carries (10.0 ypc). The team broke the school s single-game offensive yards record of 453 yards twice in the season. First Swett posted 457 yards, and then the team rushed for 577 against Walnut Creek s Berean Christian. In all, the team finished with a Swett record of 3,650 total rushing yards.<br>Even with his team s offensive and defensive dominance this season, it was something that BFS contributed and did not show in the box score that amazes Angell.  We went through 12 games this year and we did not have one [muscle] pull, Angell said.  You have 25 to 30 kids out on the field and not to have one get a pull all season, that is amazing. <br>Now, a little less than three months after their incredible playoff run, the Indians have started testing again. As Angell prepares his kids for another year of the BFS program, he cannot help but reflect on how he got involved in the program.<br> They started sending us the magazines here at the school, said Angell of Bigger Fast Stronger.  We felt we needed to get a program that would help us get better on the football field. We were 2-8 for the past two years. As we were going along, we thought,  We have to get something that will help us compete in this league.  <br>Little did the coach know the program would eventually help transform his team into a league powerhouse. It s happened to hundreds of teams across the country that use BFS, and this time it was the Indians turn. All it took was an Angell and some serious Swett.<br><br>Brian Cornelius is the sports editor for GetLocaNews.com.years to play four; in D
