Can coaches make summer ball mandatory according to TSSAA? Harpeth has not had a summer team in years, if ever. Why is it mandatory now? This "commitment" thing is going too far! and $250.00. I guess I am missing something.

What is the schedule this week? Monday Harpeth vs. Stewart Co. at Creekwood....What else?

Whats up with all of Harpeth's players being required to be early and stay late for field prep, batting practice, varsity games, jv games, and cleanup. Will they get a break. Now Jones is giving them all a varsity jersey. What a slap in the face. I thought he was gonna have two separate teams so it did not turn into last years problem of no jv games. I am getting tired of him changing his mind all the time. STICK TO WHAT YOU SAY PLEASE!!!

I am glad that game did not count for district record....Harpeth 21 CCHS 0

Yep, you got a mark alright.... wow- 21-0 Harpeth...

Why are we playing a district opponent tomorrow? Does it count toward district record? If someone knows please explain. What is the plan with coaching? I also heard we are playing 1 thursday and 1 friday instead of two friday....? is that true? Go Indians!!!

Jones seems to have these guys lined up. Portland put up a fight. Their pitcher battled. But, he proved to me and I think everyone else that he is prepared to give up everything for our guys. They are pumped. My son and family is loving baseball and excited about baseball again for the first time in years. The Freshman Davis, coaches kid or not, put the team on his back and got HHS back in the game. I hope the bumps(that will happen this year) are small and we oercome them for a great season. Great first day and night and great enthusiasm on the hill again, or the ROCK.

Apparently a few boys quit. Rumor is they cant handle Coach Jones' new discipline and commitment requirement. Not sure, but it might be addition by subtraction. And...I hear administration is wanting to know why so many are quitting. Didn't they hire him to clean things up? I don't like everything he does....but he is trying to improve the team mentally and physically. Any word on Foriest? Who are the other pitchers if he is out? Presley and Morris are back but did one of them quit?

The boys seem to be more of "team" yesterday. I love that. Supposedly still too much rust to see the true ability from a performance point of view. The Sunday thing still bothers me but not as bad as you guys are putting on. I know they need to play to improve and play early. I like whats going on so far. I just think the new coach should stick to his word. If he said Sundays off then he should stick to it. FYI-I do get out of my butt up their and the field does look great. But, again, is it as important as learning the game?

And, I heard the coach told the team to be prepared for long practices and Saturday practices and they would get Sunday's off. Stick to a plan man.

This new coach at Harpeth seems to be serious and know the game. However, whats up with a Sunday scrimmage in week 1 of practice. From what i understand, they haven't even been on the field this week. How are they going to be prepared for a game? From a distance the new bleachers look nice and rumor is the field is in much better condition. But, have they spent too much time on the field and not enough time practicing on "the field". Sorry to be critical, but this seems to be pushing it. I like the new guy and I think he is going to help HHS. It just might be too much of an expectation for the team to play on a Sunday after very little practice.

what an idiot you look like now

Michael Mitchell, Rockwood. Small school but very talented young man

Congrats on the boys south of the river goin to state.... I know nothing about wrestling, but coach woods is a class act and the boys responded.

What makes the Purcell kid so good? CW returning all pitchers? But only one starter? I dont understand?
