National Publication recognizes Memorial Coaching Staff
*****Another national publication has recognized The director of the Earthquake Coach Bob McFall and his Assistant Coach`s Randy Stephanus and Shelly McFall of Evansville Memorial High School as National Coaching staff of the year in the Midwestern Region of the U.S.A. There are coaching staffs from 5 regions selected in the country by the NFCA " We are pretty excited about this honor and love the attention softball is getting in Indiana" says McFall.
Stephanus, McFalls #1 assistant is the 18u travel coach for the Evansville Thunder during the summer and a very important part of the Memorial program." Randy Spends the extra time it takes to be a champion AND HELP THE PROGRAM SUCCEED". Shelly McFall, former earthquake player and Memorial assistant also spends the extra time working with and helping motivate players to get the job done. Shelly is currently a Junior at the University of Evansville and plans to be an Equine Veternarian.
Coach McFall was not a member of this association which in turn made the coaching staff in-eligible for national honors. This is a publication that choose to list the coaching staff as eligible for the regional honors due to the votes we were getting even though McFall was not a member. Coach McFall would like to Thank all of the support and appreciates the good people out there who bring thier kids up good which in turn makes his job easier!
Thanks!
