  1. . daurghty mite throw a low 80's fastball, which is not that fast. but it is flat and his off speed is terrible. props to him he can hit a baseball but coalfield has by far the best defense in the district and region. doughty at 1st very solid 1st baseball alot better than daurghty is defensvely yeh he can hit the ball better than him but thats all he can do. and there is no one else on the team that can consitently hit the baseball anyway

  2. coalfield has a scrimmage against union county today...i kno nothing about union county but coalfield has been looking decent i use to go there last year n i have saw a major improvement since then.....only thing is coalfields leading scorer from last year is out with a knee injury...no ideal how long he is out

  3. There's been a lot said about Grace's lack of class, sportsmanship, etc. on this board. I was at the game Friday night and saw one of the most discouraging events I've seen in high school athletics. When 3 high school coaches take off to the fence in a clear attempt to fight fans from the opposing school, disciplinary action needs to be taken. I'm referring to a call made in the 1st quarter against Coalfield and 3, not 1, not 2, but 3 of their coaches had to be physically held back by players and other sideline personnel to keep them from getting to the fence. Sure, you could argue that Grace fans shouldn't be on the fence behind the opposing team, and I would somewhat agree with you. However, coaches are to set an example, and coaches are NEVER to listen to or react to fans words.

     

    I grew up in Coalfield as a kid, back when Coalfield was respected and had a great winning tradition and a program that was known for its sportsmanship. Somewhere in the last 15 years or so that has changed. I was at the Coalfield game in the regular season when we played them down at their place. That was one of the worst displays of sportsmanship that I have ever seen. Yes, we had 2 unsportsmanlike penalties, one that shouldn't have been called, the other was a good call. Those calls pale in comparison to the play of the Coalfield players. They played as poor a game as I've seen with regard to sportsmanship. I once was proud to be associated with Coalfield, however, after the regular season game and the playoff sideline incident, it is clear that I was proud to be associated with a program and a community that has changed and forgotten its roots. Not only has Coalfield forgotten how to be good sports, they have leaders on the sidelines that are teaching their players that its ok to act like thugs and their first reaction should be to fight.

     

    You can speculate about "class" and we can go against each other all day long on that issue. However, when you send a team on the field led by classless coaches that attempt to fight fans DURING a game, there needs to be something not only said, but done about that. I hope the Coalfield High School staff and Athletic Director address this matter.

     

    if your from coalfield and played little league football there my dad probably coached you and you should already know that hes is a pretty classy guy
