If it gets players more recognition what's wrong with that. If coaches are coaching just to inflate their egos they shouldn't be coaching. It's $40 for a year, the kids get All-Academic Awards if they are juniors and seniors and Carr a 3.5 or above GPA. There are camps and tournaments set up for the players, an All-Star game for the seniors and yeah a chance to be named All-State. And if they are making money, who cares, it only cost you 40 bucks. The girls are the ones who benefit. But most coaches, don't want to put the little bit of extra time to help their players get noticed. College coaches don't have the time to see everyone especially when they don't play in tournaments and even then schools like here in Upper East Tennessee don't usually travel much past Knoxville. The old cliché if you're good enough they will find you, may be true for your superstar athletes but their are plenty more with the ability to play at the next level but never get seen. Anyway to supplement a player's chances to continue doing what they love is Not just a money racket. I have a player profile I email to schools my better players want to go to if anyone wants a copy shoot me an email. Just my two cents....

I have resigned my position as head coach at Happy Valley High to help my wife with our autistic 11 year old daughter. It is time to give her the daddy-time she needs. I wanted to write this to let anyone who may be interested know that I am leaving a team who is on the verge of State contention. A team who finished 27-15 and lost a 2-1 regional game with State Champion Greeneville. I graduated 2 seniors SS Krisley Roberts and CF (LMU signee) Kaylee Street. I return All-State players, P Kalee Johnson (17 wins and 203 K) & C Beth Reece (.557 9 2B, 5 3B, 9 HR and 59 RBI) along with All-District players P/1B Kenzie Davis (.475 and 39 RBI), & LF Sydney Puckett (.453) In addition, Unicoi County lost 8 seniors and Greeneville lost Fortescue. So as you can see a great group of girls are in need of a coach. Contact Bernie Young at Happy Valley High School if interested. Mike Dorsey
