With spring football drills now
behind them, the Burleson High
football players might have expec-
ted to coast through the remaining
few days of school without break-
ing another serious sweat.

coaches have devised one last
physical torment. They candy-
coated it with as much fun as they
could, but make no mistake: the
net result is still all-out, gut-
wrenching physical effort; the
kind that leaves a person momen-
tarily blue in the face, with heart
pounding and lungs burning —
and with muscles sore the day
after.
Blame it on television,
The coaches have dubl
final test "Superstars."

Teams can earn a maximum of
20 points in each of the first three
