Great write up about Coach Evans. Had to go look up his backstory. I was curious if he was still coaching. Horrible losing a child. Every parents worst nightmare. There was a quote that read something to tune of he didn’t have any gas in the tank after that tragedy. He loves Tatum. Stepped down because he knew he couldn’t give it his all. I think any parent can relate. Eagle to his core. Looking out for the program as always. I hope he is in a good place mentally.

He's at Beckville. Enjoying life coaching up the middle school kids. They won district at every level from 7th to varsity. They love him over there just as we did here.

Well the site shown is audio only {I think they said it was against UIL rules for them to show the video. Don't hold me to this, I have misread stuff lately.

It’s not against rules. They likely didn’t wanna ask for permission and send a check. I went back and forth between a few different games last night.
