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 E^G"~`6k-cT>t}הli9n2#㷋S |c3EvqþvIny(-M%=ErEwz+ʶvJLR0VAC0HzmKˡ 4i[!C zZӣK;b wQ9E PMec7O>NTVbv靧ލeu:%tSy{9NI/4@K~\OLyf>_WUg'y9|Z/iҢ,$u<6%ZM.n}Ffʳu-BN:u6]-n!*2JD)ydfj6Xy5廆A )?\_gOFY4ls:y5Vrr;GgOM^&wh>wF.hf9 [{ LyEB.F.3A2A Ե= p(("-7^|x9և6p7|64lgMEӥ\nY:bvD#̀kȓԧ>gou8v[bd71{5I4{RF:;S-DвyFRlMSӼߪ+ː(-T@lz'Qk$ǨQ+NjWxӁXI )sw1H4Ѧ% WGc2Z}Ya2$n88+%Q9Dv7jˌ7<<@TWXhV+'-v]vQ$b+WSVGh؜@zz3=DW(7}JFbzv0/ƥl{NN]F6˷ *!{ۍ85^WLC/~IqCÐz~YCmEB7b^iHy$8*|i_ԖxN#n31xR;Pd06Aԝ=t2qS~|{ sAmDE TaPJ|GqE;oTZANsY=ZBPM6Ǔrq3K"QU<0*F90 VŇQѡ NaHG&*ٗ75Zݟ!MXm`:mB&Ś#e˗M'D!b\|L^ l_ }ܔp"$X¹qGq108Ͷ ?l`Z)hQֈ)7+-n^Xc5 wQ<,kӒіaÒ7Q?&$l&K&,u1ZI}¼hD/o8GL8g77@Xȗ) Ȋ֙a{Sq /ٵ:ca{INJ|N+G"F'pbTUhEZQ3> xOzZUSJ"PK'aq$4xt121OzάVMLH)m=R,q0T+fWF7a>tenRD8[$қԅ&H88;(Ze!]C6R䦤n3cnS՚ՍPӫ-_۹ĥriň ~2]I$||NsrHrcc%e+`H P Ċ^mBg #yj|%xSJ1#kmSX5@"ުfAıJ/1G>m<][Xk#/~m۷ӼǨEAzmRMD۾q,h7xܖU@GZ]ny|ؓeҵ+6քۉ*/0UP;Sy\G4$=2dCNK*̥L@R~ُ%}Wܦd Ew'fnu^,{qd#F=YghTW4^<1r@GVZv c#Gjzi?z_5ԣZA-kWa{k~UC֣攚ߗgX#ݵ'UmG/9ťD¨eΏs'xҸZ\ YrYx'A lۧ\M(Hm9ɎJ ] U{e|}y͸b誊U&;A$4ҵ=9d`ENeH%A r OJ{m1#gj&
