In a small school you have to play from year to year and try to get your subs some playing time. Schools like Coalfield, Oakdale, Sunbright do not have the luxury of have a JV team, Freshman Team. They may not have a team next year. It is all based on #'s
Fastball
What is your problem with coach wilson? Lazy? He worked hard in high school and college (I think he played at ETSU) He is winning! What would you like to see better?
Sounds like you have no respect for nobody but yourself. It is always the coaches fault then and now. Maybe you should have another sit down and not practice. Coaches bad at Cumberland also?
I am just an outsider looking in for many years. Coalfield had problems in 04 with Moms and players crying about playing time. (almost destroyed team in mid season.) Some people on here are "the pot calling the kettle black"
I have no dog in this fight. It is stupid that this is made into a Coalfield/Wartburg debate. Wartburg needs a new coach! I hope that they find what they are looking for. As for Coalfield Garry Kreis has had good teams for many years without outside money that I am aware of. Wartburg should beat Coalfield 3 out of four years 400+ students vs. 190. Speaking of recruiting, you do not have to recruit when you are winning. Maryville is a prime example. Kids try to go there because of tradition. Good luck to Wartburg on finding a quality coach and getting their program back on track.
Coalfield is a very young team. In baseball any team can win a game they should not. Could they beat Rockwood? yes. Odds? Not very good at this time. Rockwoods program is at a point where Coalfields was in the 1990's. Coalfield will get better as the year goes on. Good pitching is where Coalfield will struggle.
Coalfield has a lot to prove!!! They were once a Class A power in the East. For the past 5 years they have been average at best. In their defense keeping a top baseball program running on 90 boys from a small high school is a challenge. They still have a lot of improving to do to get into the form that the program use to be. Their new coach Jason Wilson will do a great job. I think they are on the right track to getting back to a winning program.
It does not matter to me. I was just posting to show that things happen everywhere : coalfield, Cloudland, Oak Ridge, DB. People need to quit slamming and let the kids play the game. There have been Shady things happen at all schools
Loyalty works the same everywhere, Talent runs out people SWITCH to NC instead of NC kids SWITCHING to TN. Kids with NC tags playing ball at TN schools in the past
Pujo,
I have no dog in this fight I just watch High school football all over east TN. But Your brother made the "SWITCH" and how many cars in Cloudlands parking lot had North Carolina TAGS?
