I’ve heard all sorts of things, mostly involving Dunn and the Booty’s in one way or another. Anyone with personal experience wanna tell the story?

Johnny Booty was having home church services outside the First Assembly Church. Duron got mad. Fired him in front of the congregation. Booty was hired by Calvary and established their program.

Have the bootys since fallen out with Cavalry too? Wondering why Abram and General didn't stick around Shreve.

If that’s really what happened, then good for Booty. I think Calvary may have killed Evangel judging by their recent records. The drop off is unbelievable.

Calvary went with the south Shreveport money and Evangel took west Shreveport vouchers. Win Calvary.

Their was a money issue/discrepancy with missing revenues when Booty (Calvary) was there. It was a mutual agreement he go elsewhere.

From 3rd party source, so who knows:

Booty would also go out on the ole donation trail assuring folks the money would be used for this/that and not for other stuff. Duron’s mom would then use money for other stuff. Rinse and repeat.

Your 3rd party source is pretty accurate. I thought the world of Rodney Duron and Francis. The church lacked when it came to managing money and where it was allocated. Denny is a good man. Money is not his thing.

Several years ago I saw Brock Berlin, Hester, Booty, and Chase Pittman walking the Calvary sideline vs eca. Don't think they care that much for Evangel.

I guess I thought he was all in for Evangel considering he played for them. Guess he moved to Calvary when they split.

Evangel fired the offensive coordinator abruptly and Hester married his daughter. He's not a fan of the school.

Done. They had 2 completions against WM this year. 2 for the entire game, both to running backs. ZERO. CATCHES. BY. A. RECEIVER. From a program that owned WM for 7 years or so to not completing a single pass.
