I played for Coach Evans and loved every minute of it, but to say that EC has been in the playoffs for 17 straight years because of him is idiotic. Coach E has been gone for almost 10 years and EC has still made the playoffs. I was lucky enough to have him for a mentor and he has helped me to become a better coach through my years, just by modeling the way that he coached us. I was a field house rat that would hang around and try to pick up as much as possible from Coach Evans, East, Koch, Todd Sutherland, and Uncle Joe. Maybe Tatum should be saying the same thing. They are in the playoffs because of EC's old coach. Good Luck to both teams. I know there will be classy football played on the field by both sides, and like I said earlier, the winner controls their own Destiny.
