Like a beacon guiding ships through darkness, Evan Moore has steered the Dolores Bears football team through a somewhat tumultuous last four years.<\/p>\n

As coaches, playbooks and teammates have come and gone, Moore has served as a model of consistency and now, in his senior season, the offensive guard\/linebacker is relishing every moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s definitely a new program,\u201d said Moore of the 2013 season. \u201cWe\u2019re having a lot of fun. That\u2019s one of the things that I\u2019m trying to do this year, have as much fun as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

While enjoying himself, Moore has been playing outstanding football, anchoring the Bears\u2019 offensive line, while consistently leading his team in tackles game in and game out.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the field this year, (Moore) has had 10-plus tackles every game,\u201d said Bears\u2019 head coach Chris Trusler. \u201cHe just doesn\u2019t miss tackles. He has just surpassed, by leaps and bounds, what I thought he was going to be able to do for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to his contributions on the field, Moore leads teammates away from the gridiron, using a quiet and unassuming style.<\/p>\n

\u201c(Moore) is a quiet leader,\u201d said Trusler. \u201cHe leads by example and sets a tone for all of the other kids to follow, and they do. He wants guys to be proud to be in this football program.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI always try to bring a positive attitude,\u201d Moore said. \u201cI try to keep everybody fired up and working hard during practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

When not leading teammates, chasing running backs and protecting his quarterback, Moore focuses on academics and works hard in the weight room.<\/p>\n

\u201c(Physical Education) is one of the classes that I enjoy because it\u2019s more active,\u201d Moore said.<\/p>\n

While the senior is currently unsure as to what direction he will pursue upon graduation, he is relishing the opportunity to suit up for his hometown Bears.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s definitely really fun,\u201d said Moore of playing in Dolores. \u201cEverybody from the community knows you from the radio. You have people show up to games, and they are almost like family because they know you so well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Certainly true, and without a doubt, the local community that knows Moore so well will always remember him as a quiet, yet consistent, leader who helped lead the Dolores Bears\u2019 football team through some uncertain times.<\/p>\n
