WELCOME EVERGREEN COUGAR FANS
TO THE 2020 FOOTBALL SEASON>>> WELCOME COUGAR FOOTBALL FANS! My name is LeRoy Lopez and I am extremely excited to be serving as the Athletic Director at Evergreen High School. I've worked at several high schools in the metro area in the same capacity, as well as coaching basketball at the high school, college, and semi pro levels, before becoming an athletic director. If you happen to get a chance, feel free to drop me a line or give me a call to introduce yourself and your student to me. In my brief time here at Evergreen I have been very impressed by the parent and community support of the athletic programs. I look forward to working with the Football Program for many years to come. Again, welcome and we look forward to supporting your child through the

HEAD COACH >>A MESSAGE FROM THE FOOTBALL
Welcome to the 2020 Evergreen football season. We are excited to provide you with an entertaining football product as we enter into a new era of Cougar football.
Our mission remains the same: to help create good citizens within our community through servant leadership, accountability, and love. These tenants are paramount to our success both on and off the field. Damon West, a former D1 athlete and recovering addict spoke to our team earlier this season. As Mr. West was being incarcerated on a life sentence (of which he served 10 years in a federal penitentiary), he discovered the parable of the coffee bean. Imagine a pot of boiling water which represents life. Next to the pot of water are three items: a carrot, an egg, and a coffee bean. When placed in the boiling water, a carrot becomes soft, a follower, and allows life to beat it down. The egg, however, does the opposite: it becomes hardened, joins a gang, gets filled with hatred and lacks accountability. The coffee bean, however, influences the entire environment by changing that pot of boiling water into coffee. We want coffee beans in our program: young men willing to positively influence their environment and inspire change within their controlled setting. We look forward to watching our coffee beans grow into successful athletes, positive members of society, and prosperous leaders. With love,
Coach MVP
C OAC H ING S TA F F 2020 EVERGREEN FOOTBALL
Matt Van Praag
>> VARSITY HEAD COACH
Coach Matt Van Praag (MVP) began his coaching career in Coral Springs, FL and quickly rose through the ranks to become Offensive Coordinator in his first year at Coral Springs Christian Academy. After moving to Evergreen in 2011, MVP filled multiple positions at EHS, most recently being the offensive coordinator for one of the top offensive units in the state. In addition, MVP has sat on the MYFA board and coached at the youth level for 2 years also implementing his offensive philosophies to the community’s youth teams. MVP played High School football at nationally renowned St. Thomas Aquinas in Ft. Lauderdale, FL before becoming a 3-time captain and leadership award winner at Coral Springs Christian as a Quarterback. MVP believes in impacting the Evergreen community through teaching servant leadership to his players and coaching staff while helping each individual player achieve their dreams and aspirations.
Tom Poholsky >> OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR This is Coach Poholsky’s second year at Evergreen High School working with the Wide Receivers and taking on further responsibilities as the Cougars Offensive Coordinator. He expects to build on the success of last year’s wide receiver group who were top 5 in Colorado Division 3A in receiving yards (2,429), receiving yards/game (243), receptions (160), receptions/game (16), and touchdowns (26). Prior to coaching in high school Coach Poholsky coached for 5 years at the youth level in Evergreen and was President of the Mountain Area Midget Football Association (MAMFA) for 3 years. Coach Poholsky went to college at the University of Iowa where he played Quarterback and was Captain under College Hall of Fame Coach Hayden Fry. Coach Poholsky and his family are long time residents of Evergreen, Colorado.
Brent Olyowski >> DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR Brent Olyowski began coaching at EHS in 2008 and became the team's defensive coordinator in 2017. Prior to Evergreen, he coached 8-man football and track in Gilpin County and football at Littleton High School. Although he has coached quarterbacks and running backs, he permanently switched to the good side in 2006 and coached linebackers and defensive backs ever since. Brent feels privileged to both teach and coach at EHS.
Scott Woodward >> SPECIAL TEAMS COORDINATOR My name is Scott Woodward and I moved to Evergreen in 1994 with my wife Michelle. She and I have raised three boys in Evergreen and have loved being a part of this outstanding community. Our older sons, Jon & Will, graduated from EHS in 2017 & 2019. Russ is our youngest son and will be a Sophomore at EHS in the Fall. All three of our boys played football for MAMFA and I had the pleasure of coaching them as they came to love the sport of football. In addition to playing High School football in California as an Offensive Lineman & Long Snapper, I have coached a number of football skill sets over the last 8 years with MAMFA and one year with EHS Football. I have had the chance to watch the EHS Football program grow and mature to its current stature and I am excited about its future. As we prepare for this coming Fall, Head Coach MVP asked me to step in and take a more active role with our Special Teams and I could not be more excited. This is a discipline and area of the game that is often overlooked. Coach MVP and I agree that Special Teams should bring a level of excitement and scoring opportunities to the game and our plan is for EHS Football to excel in this discipline. We are excited about the upcoming season and appreciate your support of these young men!!!
