Cavan said he couldn t thank me enough for the advice, but I think the thanks should go to Cavan for his outstanding example. have beat, making three losses in a row. That was our ultimate low point. The kids were griping and saying they wanted to quit. That s when we lit into them hard. We said,  You have to make a commitment to each other, for each other, or get out. The kids responded and we won three straight. <br>Shepard called to confirm the date, and when he heard Davis turn-around story he teased,  Well, do you still need me? Davis replied,  Yes, without hesitation. He knew there were still problems in his community with kids drinking and doing drugs.<br><br>A Magic Moment<br><br>When Coach Shepard arrived in Glenelg, the tragedy of J.T. was still on the minds of the parents, students and faculty. As it turned out, the date coincided with the funeral for one of Shepard s former players, an All-State running back, from his own hands-on coaching days. He had died in an accidental gas leak in a camper while hunting with his son, a ninth grader who was already turning heads as a football star. <br><br><br>Shepard missed the services to make his appointment at Glenelg High. <br>His story resonated in unison with Glenelg s ongoing grief over J.T. and there were tears of sadness, reconciliation and joy shared during the workshop.<br>Perhaps it was just a chance meeting of minds and emotions. Or perhaps it was destiny that the Be An 11 Program really hit its mark. Which one, no one can answer.<br>Parents, JV and varsity players, counselors, coaches and faculty were invited to attend. And they did. The support and enthusiasm was at an all-time high.<br> From that point on everything we did was directed around being an eleven, recalls Davis.  We had signs in the locker room. It was just about the only talk in the weight room and the playing field. We were set on fire to be elevens! <br>If you want proof, check out what Glenelg s Gladiators accomplished following the workshop. For starters, they won the next four games making it seven games straight and qualified for the playoffs. In Glenelg s history, only three other years teams ever qualified.<br> Toward the end, we beat three teams in games that no one thought we had a snowball s chance in summer to win, recalls Davis, his voice excited with pride.  First there was Wilde Lake, then Long Reach High School. In the first round of the playoffs we played a team we had previously lost to by 22 points, Oakland Mills. This time around we beat them 14-7. We had not beaten them in nine years! All of these school s were 3-A powerhouses, where Glenelg is in the smaller 1-A classification. Further more, the upset victory over Oakland was the first post-season win in school history. What a feat! <br>Coach Davis continues,  Our JV team, coached by Jeremy Snyder, was equally motivated by the program and went undefeated this year: 10-0, and 18 and 4 as a program overall. It s the best it has ever been! <br><br>Looking Down <br>from the Sky<br><br>Not only were the spirits of the Glenelg Gladiators ignited from the workshop and the lessons learned from the tragic death of their teammate J.T., the team also received inspiration from above--it came in the form of an airplane <br>carrying a banner reading,  Go Gladiators. Go Elevens! <br>That amazing moment came from the same parent who had volunteered to put up half the money for the seminar, the father of player Joe McDonald, who, as a graduating senior is now awaiting his appointment at West Point, along with fellow teammate, Kyle Johnston.<br> The
