During the past 2 years I have enjoyed reading most of the posts pertaining to softball in the mid-state. Many are right on, to the point and correct. Some posts would be better left unsaid (but that tounge gets us all in trouble sometimes). Some are down right funny, especially many of the ones posted by mrknowitall, until he has to get ugly. For what it's worth, I'm the coach (and by the way phastpitchphan I am a non-faculty coach so don't send your DD here) at the school with the worst field in Tn. as quoted in his post entitled "losers week one" and I pasted it below.
(.F C Boyd . should have a lot of fans at this game because neither one is goin to be gettin out of district, matter of fact they NEVER have gotten out of district, just chalk her up as another losing season for both. Both of these teams have the worse fields in the state not just the Mid-State but the state. Now if you go start a lookin at MTCS football field and their baseball field you will see some of the best. I think they are a tellin folks that they dont care about them softball ladies. F C Boyd is playin in a pasture is the worse field in TN!)
Even though we may have the worst field in Tennessee, I take pride in what I do and the school I coach for. It ain't all about beautiful state of the art facilities or the overflowing trophy cases you might have to make a school's athletic program special nor is it about the number of wins you have or all "the out of district" opponents you play, IT'S the KIDS and the experiences they have competing in the sports they love. Why on earth should it matter about all of that stuff any way. I know why, because so many people are so materialistic and superficial they lose sight of what really matters. I thank God for F.C. Boyd Christian School and all the athletes I have been privileged to coach. GO Broncos and Lady Broncos!!
