As Trevor Evans goes, so go the Warriors BY JEFF FALK
revor Evans thoroughly enjoys playing the position of quarterback. He likes helping his team even more. A senior on the Warwick football team, Evans is back to playing his natural position again after trying other roles. High school football teams typically put their most athletic players at quarterback because they give the team its best opportunity to win. “I’m happy about my season,” said Evans. “I’ve done the most I can with this team. I had to adapt to a lot of changes, and I’m just getting used to the changes now. I did it for the team. The team needed it.” “He’s willing to do his best for the football team,” said Warwick head coach Bob Locker of Evans. “His goal is to be the best quarterback he can be and also to be the best person he could be.

When she was a child, Tess Gerritsen couldn’t resist a good mystery book. “The first mystery novels I read were Nancy Drew books,” recalled the New York Times bestselling author of more than 30 novels. “I remember thinking, ‘I want to do that. I want to tell those kinds of stories.’” Becoming an author wasn’t a straight course for Gerritsen, who will headline the Council of Friends of Public Libraries’ fall author event at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 9.
“Being from a practical AsianAmerican family, my parents wanted me to do something more traditional for a career,” she said. She graduated from Stanford University and went to medical school, eventually becoming a doctor. Her desire for storytelling never faltered, however, and when she was on maternity leave after the birth of her first son, she wrote her first novel, “Call After Midnight.” It was published in 1987, and by her third book, “Harvest,” Gerritsen made her New York Times bestseller debut in 1996. She had started following her See Author pg 6

football team.” Evans grew up playing quarterback, from his early days in midget football to junior high and even into the beginning of his high school career. But as a sophomore, Evans found himself behind star quarterback Jack Reed, who graduated last year. Evans responded by becoming a wide receiver and an all-LancasterLebanon League safety. And when Locker turned to him this past offseason, Evans answered the call. “At the end of the season, we looked around and didn’t have a quarterback in the pipeline,” said Locker. “(Evans) is an excellent athlete. He’s embraced what we’ve asked him to do. He handled it quite well. He’s one of our captains. He’s a tremendous leader.” “Going into my sophomore year, I knew Jack was pretty good,” said Evans. “I just accepted that. I was willing to play receiver for Coach Locker, but he said he needed me to back up Jack (as well). I accepted that role.”
