On the recordJanuary 13, 2010
Recently, two teams in my district won football State championships. In Class 2A, the Evangel Eagles, led by Coach John Bachman, Sr., defeated John Curtis High School. David Dee Duron completed an 8-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter to Trey Taylor to give Evangel the lead. The Eagles won the game by a final score of 18-13. David Dee Duron finished the game completing 25 of 39 passes for 273 yards and two touchdowns, setting 2A title game records for most completions, attempts and yardage. In Class 1A, the Haynesville Golden Tornados, coached by David Franklin, beat South Plaquemines to win the title. Late in the third quarter, B'Air McGee had a 21-yard touchdown to give Haynesville the lead, and then the Golden Tornado defense intercepted a pass with only 23 seconds left in the game to preserve the 19-12 win. Congratulations to the coaches and players of both Evangel and Haynesville on this tremendous accomplishment.
