Buddy09 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I have had the pleasure of knowing and watching this young lady since she was eight years old. Since she was about 12 we all knew this day would come in which ever sport she chose and her heart took her to basketball.This weekend Shannon committed to Faulkner University in Montgomery Alabama. What a great way to come back from a torn ACL her sophmore year.Congratulations to Shannon and Evans family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjones830 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Congrats Shannon, great kid with a great family. Very proud of you over here in Bear land, Faulkner is getting a very talented athlete. I know dad is smiling from ear to ear. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slam14 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Congratulation Shannon! It's been a treat watching you from a distance. Your talent, determination, and character have been obvious to all those who have had a chance to see you. Good luck at Faulkner. What kind of gas milage does your dad's car get? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes kids get signed off shear talent alone and a coach has thoughts of "molding" or "polishing" that player by trying to add all the intangibles. Shannon seems "shiney" in all aspects going in. A terribly easy decision for Faulkner. Hope to catch her in action a few times this season. Much respect to the Evans family. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whattheheck Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Thanks Hill but I am woking harder in RETIREMENT than I did as a head coach. Was the head football coach and now I am coaching both boys and girls in basketball. But I am having a BLAST!!! See you during the season. PS....I remember that game but I NEVER want to see a kid get hurt, I am glad she is back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usedtobe33 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Congrats to the Evans family. Getting recruited is a chore if you are doing it right by looking at all options and knocking on all the doors of prospective schools. Love Alabama (they really support their athletes) and Montgomery has some good people in it... (lived there 30+ years ago). Good luck and have four great years!

bh146 Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Congrats to Shannon on the scholarship. I enjoyed watching Shannon play the past 3 years. Maybe if I can pull myself off the golf course, I'll catch one or two this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure miss your years of support, but I understand...you deserve all the golf you can get! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnt_mom Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Bama isn't too bad of a drive. I've done it several times so far this year. It's definately worth the drive. Good Luck Shannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
