N.D. went back home becauce of their schedule, what a tough weekend R. Wall @ W.B. B. Hollifield @ Alcoa, S. Fagg @ Heritage, M. Morris @ Faragut If our team had to face those pitchers in a 24 hour span I would have turned tail and run too.

I have read all the posts on this thread, alot of good points and not so good. I have been a coach for 15 years both Boys & Girls. I.M.O. any coach that yells @ a player for a phys. error is wrong, to yell @ a player for making a mental error is also wrong. No player goes out onto the field and thinks boy i hope i mess up a play or two, No player goes to the plate hoping they will strike out. If a parent or a coach yells @ the player it is @ that time that the parent and or coach fells like the error or the strike out is a direct reflection upon them and that is wrong, just like when the player makes a great play or a great hit, It was the player and not the coach who made the play not the parent, or the instructor. Always give encouragement show the player the mistake they made this can be done with out yelling. Remember every player wants to do well some are better than others but all will look to their coach or parent for approval and some times the coach and parent are one. This goes for H.S. & Summer league. Thanks

What is going on @ H.H.S. is nothing new. The same thing happened @ our prog. a few years back. A coach that had stayed too long, and new parents who thought they new better, We are now in our 4th year, with our third coach, the second one came in knowing all the problems of the prev. coach, and decided that the program needed a tyrant as a coach, wrong move. That coach only made it 2 years and then that coach was run off, Program set back another 2 years. The new coach now knows of all the problems, It will take this coach 3 more years to get our program back on track. During all this time {do the math 7 years} the ones that will suffer and have suffered are the younger kids coming into the program. Allow the school administration to do their job it may take a while, but they will do what is best, the coach will get to leave with a little dignity instead of being forced out and the new coach will not feel as if they have to rule with an iron fist to show the parents that they are in control, when in fact the last time i checked it was the kids program and the kids game, all the kids the good ones the not so good ones and most important of all the future ones. Thanks and best wishes

After viewing tonights contests @ Everret Park I can say that Gipps, is everything that has been wrote about them, Central in Knox will ride the Arm & BAT of K. Irwin, Maryville will be strong when it matters most {end of season} Greenback is weak, Halls is in trouble, Alcoa has some hitters to go with the GUN, W.B. will win some games, and Heritage has a lot of Talent. I watched alot of the Heritage vs. Halls game the first 6 hitters for H.H.S. where stout scoring all the runs with base hits and hits to move the runners. Gipps can and will win @ any level. Just my thoughts
