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 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 hombe noted that Coach Cecchini s pitchers do not Bench Press to the chest but do the Towel Bench twice per week.<br>Coach Cecchini also has another excellent program feature. He has all the players sign a contract and the coaches in turn sign a Le yc $_ĆcVwte2NV{;U]ݔmwOQr G.A147zơwwIfd㯤P9'կ9O^|oȃ9\d"ss`O dKa{(|fPzL7?3ZeĚ$gkiL^W Ǐiwv/#ij*IDA!; O*7(H q8',ҜqWW^%ԧk 7ֺ75&VEj+*7Kѵ(2[J7FHELsnUnɗ0CT{`OS1h1j~w$C֣PdH!(H3[2I沺e0ubhxB~1^ߵ> |;{gO$$%ˬkb7vOܳCiq3I%+,8SWbi_̓O#Cۡ76 Ddsmb͖P>BQ0אW kmODGq嫓hbHPSd~j{4Y4fFmWhJrLH>y,3\y= W׸1ψ Z+ A/I~_ ߑvyw޻`.{[T&fUmI15˻a6)]#pgKlyO O~?s'ҽg67rO6ٲ%w{Г~sicb-o9;Pic&ϾXQ&c1?}O˳?4y!8 f9)g9i4N9++~d-R[F-Z83-]\qZ4.[iBK3W% ŪL<PhCKǩnqXΥeRP|YBcw:MQ>k$3Ek$uwE"I-v'տ݊_i'ѭTo*r<k{K&@7& 7 u;ic e>(1FBK!$,RbP h7_˓[kYowlE#YFMǜx緸Vue[N$K~ ÇA9^G𰣠kBf:|uhb?6X{6y #0Y(Fw>`4Kz'舽^.%VkgYPFUfofB2 |"Ak?U(X8/D?)//L UœWQУQH=Ky!#+ۭ?95#;CːIW{Eu"+Ua8/rh^zFR|/3܇sNT9b/jQv/K1Rdnr}z?24DF6ҴT1EpPhzP[i"4kPĿc#gd?Ҭ5Iq2k|IXUok 3Wqf4ܚ _&p̠16? qaducolvER_У>9o$EI$E͌)%[2TUO|?S)N1<8M^if+kz}b!r9\I$EY儩檫͙U>,N}k^ ݝ撩SՏ .i6̯KEjj ;(+ 8qS\חOo̝4""#avu \[XO42RTHj;T`)g4d+FOl٬Z@VӘX*y)$yd2Jݾ1$ۓ4;?ӗK,LcU\q 2jw9Mk?Z ds?5ߍp{vopuNj={ -c' Ilw[V^ѐ~tug~7b?%~-30ܟ3W_<|Λfen%jxb~X%g2LG I?7> )͘HIk{n{ FVPBxʤµy:[ E1Ix.
