The kids all want to do this. Another captain wants to paint the number 11 in the weight room and the locker room. Our team will be committed to touch it as they pass. Thanks for helping us develop our vision for greatness!<br> <br>The coach sent me their football program book. Some of the players wrote a thank you note. I would like to share one of these from one of last season s captains: <br> Dr. Shepard, you influenced our team to the fullest, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Keep spreading your light. <br>In my quiet moments as I reflect on this experience, it is difficult to hold back the tears. I am so very thankful for coaches and kids like the players at this high school. May God bless our great country and help us all to Be An Eleven a little more often.<br>outs in his entire college career. He ha achieved a 333- pound Power Clean, a Parallel Squat of 650 and a 475 Bench.  The thing that has changed, says Anthony,  is my body fat. It is 6.3% and I m 5-11 and weigh 221 pounds. At the pro combine in March, Anthony had a great day. He Benched 225 for 28 reps, ran a 4.49 forty and soared to 37.5 inches on the Vertical Jump. <br> To play football in the NFL used to be a dream. Now it s a goal. A realistic one, smiled Anthony confidently.  To be successful you have to have determination and have unity. Everyone striving to make themselves into their best selves. At PLU you have to work for everything. For two-a days we took a trip down the Oregon Coast. No footballs were allowed. We had fun and got unified. Nothing about football. It was all about relationships. We talked about expectations. We had competitions. We won our first game and we were unified. Somehow, we were also completely organized. <br>Anthony made six different All-America teams. He rushed for 116.6 yards per game and scored 23 touchdowns. En route to the national championship, Anthony set a playoff record for touchdowns. He was also the MVP of the Lutheran All-Americans which consists of colleges from Division I-AA to Division III. Anthony was the Northwest League MVP and also a PLU team captain and PLU MVP. In 1998 Anthony was Conference Offensive Player of the Year. Have all these honors gone to his head? <br>Not in the slightest. Anthony s favorite sayig is about this very subject.  To be humble when brought low is one thing but to be humble when praised upon is a rare and great achievement. Anthony also believes the most important thing in his life is God. He will graduate this May as a theater major. Anthony hopes to one day teach drama, theater and coach. He then spouted off another Frostyism,  That s what I want to do for a loving. <br>Frosty Westering has had a big impact on Anthony. He looked at me with emotion and concluded,  Frosty taught me about what he called  Ataways . He has us all stop to look at Mt. Rainier, and then to take a moment to ponder and appreciate it s power and majesty. We would then chant,  Hey, mountain. Go mountain. Ataway! Frosty always wanted us to feel like they are worth so7-lO4`e>Sv~a]xjI|ZyA?ƒ_D: ~9c[2r"| .zkƘ@Z٫ `< F= wj]J;$Ij7zxC4i_u1Dv/J 2b9)5uz OE??+u*oQҘ{mn¾7-B6JX{KZpee]ָ\ՁUGs[}` lena# R_޴HOՍ:wF*f‡ׂ0w9fYp(<1M@i\6m51[I&""$˽rH#2%@SVp[ .a-P#qc7G
