Coach Holmes must be doing something right down in Georgia. I wish he had not taken Coach Barham and Coach Perry. Portland's program has not been the same since they left. No disrespect to the staff now but there was something special about those two guys. Coach Chad Perry took a head job in north Georgia this year so he is no longer at Dublin. Coach William Barham (who could be a head coach anywhere) and Coach Holmes are life-long friends having played together at Westmoreland and then Holmes went to MTSU to play and Barham went to Auburn to play, they reunited at Beech out of college. Holmes stayed at Beech and family ties pulled Barham to Portland. Barham has continued his baseball success in Dublin being the head coach at that school and breaking records down there. Don't know much about what Chad Perry is doing at his new school. Westmoreland should be proud of these coaches since they all got their start there as players. We at Portland really miss both these guys and wish they would come back home.

you ain't kiddin man i played for coach barham and when he was there you gave it everything you had in practice and games if you did that you would start and when you messed up as long as you did it at full speed and still hit somebody he didn't get mad but he let you know about it. he is a great coach. coach chad perry is also a great coach i never played a position for him but he was one of the main weight coaches and he taught us a lot in the weightroom

    • Hmmmmm……doe dee doe doe….i drove the lawnmower down to practice today…….hmmmm…… we got some new faces………. One can run faster than my lawnmower in fifth gear…… a few will be disappointed come November that they jumped ship and went down to that sewage facility……. You can bet the lawnmower on that. 
    • I don't know what's going on in the town of McMinnville, but I've read this and it's disturbing.  I'm a "player" person, and I want what's best for the player. If a player gets cut off the team because she said the "F word" then good grief. I mean, come on guys. I wish there was a way for the player to transfer to a different program and just play ball. There are a lot of athletes that are stuck because they're in crappy situations regarding their team/coach. This is player just happens to be one them.
    • Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think. 
    • “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker. 
    • Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job.
