Zach Neff, who will be a senior next year, is shown getting ready for high school football season. Neff was a star linebacker for the Blue Eagles last season.

Zach’s father, Tim, is the owner and operator of A-1 Rent All that built a device to help Zach prepare during the spring and summer months. Mr. Neff is shown on the top of a huge tree stump on a stand that is on on rollers and will hold considerable weight. Besides the 300 pounds already on the cart, Zach used his 150-pound body weight to pull more than 450 pounds.

Zach has gained three or four pounds since football season and he and his dad want to build his strength to compensate for the gain. Zach had a great season a season ago, but he, as well as many of his teammates, have some unfinished business to take care of this season: making it to, and winning, the state football championship.
