If I am not mistaken Highlands has a lot of weight lifting the week after they won state. That is the kind of dedication that any school needs to push.

That is accurate, although it is not part of the formal weight lifting program. It is player ran and voluntary, although most of the players are present. There is a coach present because the school requires a coach to be present any time any one is lifting for liability reasons. The formal weight lifting program begins in January with most of the coaches in attendance.
