We were on our way to play a strong St. James team that also had a 14-0 record.&nbsp; Coach Shepard was on the sidelines with us to witness what might have been the greatest high school championship game ever played in Louisiana.&nbsp; It was a hard fought, well played, well coached game that ended in a dramatic fashion with Evangel winning 28-27.&nbsp; USA TODAY ranked the Eagles #20 in its final 1996 poll.&nbsp; Our dream had become a reality.&nbsp; The Evangel Eagles believe in Bigger Faster Stronger!</P> <P><STRONG>Editor's Note: </STRONG>The Evangel Clinic was one of the most rewarding clinics I have ever done.&nbsp; The athletes were totally responsive to every phase of the BFS program.&nbsp; They were amazingly focused.&nbsp; The entire coaching staff was present and remained intensely enthusiastic throughout the day. </P> <P>I stayed with the Booty's and that was inspiring.&nbsp; Their son Josh Booty was there and I saw all of his awards like the USA TODAY Football and Baseball Player of the Year awards.&nbsp; Little brother Abram was to be a senior.&nbsp; He proved to be a mature leader as the clinic progressed.&nbsp; It didn't take long to see that he was a blue chipper.&nbsp; Abram ran a 4.4 forty from a stand and had a 38-inch no-step vertical jump.&nbsp; Perhaps most impressive was their father, John Booty who doubles as an assistant football coach and a powerful, dynamic minister.&nbsp; His wife Sonja stated, "John gave up everything to go into the ministry.&nbsp; He could have been a professional football player.&nbsp; I truly believe with all my heart that our sons success in athletics is God's way of honoring him."&nbsp; After being with the Evangel and Booty family, I too believe that. </P> <P>Coach Dennis Dunn has assembled a staff in which any one of them could be a great head coach.&nbsp; The athletic director, Denny Duron, was an All-America QB at Louisiana Tech.&nbsp; He also coaches football and supports the BFS program for all sports.&nbsp; I was so impressed with the passion and love each coach had in working with the Evangel kids.&nbsp; Each coach spiritually ministers to the players.&nbsp; I know first hand they have saved many kids that might otherwise be in gangs, drugs, or in jail.&nbsp; The coaching staff does a better job off the field than they do on the field and they went 15-0.</P> <P>Coach Dunn offers his players opportunities for leadership and service.&nbsp; Phillip Deas, the Evangel quarterback, is a straight-A student who has spoken at nursing homes and in prisons.&nbsp; Coach Dunn stated, "Phillip is an outstanding preacher.&nbsp; Our team and our players feel they are doing God's work.&nbsp; They feel they are ministers of His word."</P> <P>My wife and I were priviledged to be on the &~riZPY2Fx`᫱bedZFI( P=] OX&$$kk4QDU ~&r"'A6 A9&Oס'O[kSgxꞢxdqkj{b5Vcn?ym{(g<F$lDfSn8of9)mKHXpoh(eG6UlG$mn ^2U>U4u #|zɘ@>]-SH81YZx~z%XF3q嶒.9}ϭ1k'dCg > rQd2Lv\or Su<ȖAtLI k!R`cž[vё+!E?#p1.z@'fT-Gڠy:=OQERY۱dV" $~zqltKCDRC#@2Dhs,tأYKI9ez<"+}Ko2Z|D(@~cHMCArpŞ<=cԬ^ZK 9[Q+yFF"$vcW/]BfI6,M1xɥ}?cEmm4cZKUѬu863=$VZEG :>YB10)%I]~ 1=:\joZ/Mw觍G&TvoFV:<D}o_KIfFF#[Cq>?U.d apo8}YE8@(;P8G4VO𵓫t!T8P ]> lIn~" |SK!SuoVZZc%F%ЏDu6++@ۑ_'.n!FuV?4x\dhybppE}ީȋ84nBᗗ|HRZ,cO[Nh<]OqUdvŎh3}_Zn`FC}(o`BjAH@*?to#(FMLeccjE˸Ӱp/:H"b;WQU:0PcO|}ZA&9n^CآBj-6+ʇllRӗ ;_lVh+1NQ{aZ%e UJĀĜHPHj5It=~xXHۑQ)`ݚ牴jFK?Ьn:.3<)T@njxÇ,Y/n唭LI] sCDlѩ-1[ E2׈VXdAdյ,1«!b kdwj1%iiO$i[* -9?ۑWjߤt (S`-y<&!{msav6Qq.VnTcW~ܟ] 2=M=(1D d J Hh_}GGur[ 1OŜo%uLd.[;J5Tr/
