re: What happened to Evangel football?

This is true. Their student population has shrunk, and more money has flooded to Calvary. Like previous posters said, public schools in the area have gotten a lot of that talent back as well. Most of the boosters who paid those scholarships aren't there anymore.
All things considered, Evangel's campus is pretty crappy looking, football field is not well kept up, and it isn't a nice place anymore. I've heard they have 2-3 years left to stay open if they can't get an influx of capital.

That's precisely what happened to Redemptorist in Baton Rouge. Population shifted after Zachary/Central broke away from EBR. RHS was too deep in NBR territory to pull from South BR. School hemoragged money and couldn't keep up staff/facilities to the point they were too far gone
