QUOTE(Let @ Apr 26 2007 - 05:30 PM) 826446170[/snapback]Siegel lost 8 guys. 7 seniors and a 2 year starting shortstop. A case can be made for Reavis to get coach of the year. Not saying he will or should but a very solid case can be made for him.

 

 

Behind the success at Siegel and Oakland is Coach Mike Tobitt at Siegel Middle School. Just about all of the starters at Oakland and Siegel played for Tobitt. Even one of the starting pitchers for Riverdale played for Tobitt at Siegel Middle. Oakland and Siegel are now in 1st and 2nd in the district, respectively. This is not by accident. Reavis and Hawks can obviously coach but Tobitt taught most of their players the fundamentals of high school baseball.

 

If zoning was really an issue, all of these kids would have went to just one of these schools and really dominated the region and state...this year and next. Tobitt (and Bartlett) taught these kids how to play high school baseball starting in the 6th grade. He practiced these boys on the old VA field before the SMS field was built. And yes, us parents and the players built the Siegel middle field under the guidance of Tobitt. His middle school field is now better than many high school fields. Think about it...the boys that learned high school baseball under Tobitt are now ranked 4th in the country.

 

Yes, he broke fungos. Yes, he yelled at our kids. Yes, he would bench you in a heatbeat. But these kids can now play baseball at a high level. There is simply no better place to send your kid to play middle school baseball than Siegel Middle under Tobitt and Bartlett. Proof is in the pudding!

 

Go Stars and Patriots and Utterback, most of whom played for Tobitt.

I heard it is all Coach Bartlett - that all Tobitt does is chew sunflower seeds and practice fungo lefthanded and talk about how he can throw a baseball over those mountains on the other side of Thompson Lane - and has the video to prove it! - LOL!!!

 

Seriously, there are some good folks in our neck of the woods, from little league and up, that do it for the same reason I do it. For the kids.... And we are lucky to have them. It is no coincidence that in just about every sport / debate team / math competition / academic awards and etc... where state championships are at stake there is usually some Rutherford County kids in the hunt.....

Oakland has as many kids, if not more, who didn't play for Siegel Middle (McConnell, McGowan, Fann, Ward, Barnes, Wilson, etc.) than those who did (Dodd, Parsley, Polk, Fisher, etc.) so the feeder programs at Lascassas, Kittrell, Central, and even McFadden need to be aplauded and mentioned in the same sentence with Siegel Middle. Each program has obviously developed their players to a great degree. Don't forget about Coach Revvis and Hawks too! /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

 

And btw you say SMS's field is better than many high school fields? I sure can't think of any high school fields around here that are not up to standards...

I AGREE WITH THIS POST COMPLETELY....i will add though that Tony Sheffield and Christianna Middle is starting to do the things that tobbitt and co. has been doing for years now so in time i think Riverdale will reap those benefits...

i would also let my kids play for TOBBITT anyday a lot of parents dont like him or his style but to me he is GREAT for middle school aged kids

well since we are applauding Middle school coaches it should be noted the Coach Treadway from BHS groomed Marcus Barnes arguably one of the best players in the district when he was at Blackman Middle
