Defensive coordinator Ervin “Magic” Hernandez explodes after senior Landon Martens broke free for a 40-yard touchdown run in the 4th quarter, that got FC within 2 points of the lead. The Eagles went on to win 19-15, successfully defending their home field on homecoming night, Oct. 16.

Journalism adviser Greg Stobbe gave the first-year defensive coordinator his nickname upon his first visit to the school.

“The name Ervin deserves a nickname,” Stobbe said. “His baskeball predecessor wore it well, and so will he.”
