A new coaching staff took over at Richland High School, in the Fort Worth, Texas, suburb of North Richland Hills, two years ago. Their motto ever since then? "Don't let go." "We made a solid commitment to make our guys as strong as possible mentally, physically and spiritually," said strength coach Jake Johnson.
I can't comment on how the Rebels are doing mentally or spiritually, but I can confirm this group is now strong physically. Richland boasts 28 athletes cleaning over 250 and three cleaning over 300, according to Johnson. This video made me want to hop in and clean with the guys (only after we took a couple plates off each side, of course).
