We attribute that dominance to the fact that we were indeed bigger, faster and stronger.&nbsp; We won our semifinal contest in an exciting come-from-behind win.&nbsp; Our dream was one game away from becoming a reality.&nbsp; During fourteen weeks of the season our players continued to break records in the BFS program.&nbsp; Our players actually got stronger during the season!</P> <P>In Louisiana, the state football championships are played in the Superdome in New Orleans.&nbsp; 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 Louiiana.&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
