I am pretty sure that the Dope that you are on is illegal. Some of the coaches on this list leave alot to be desired, they may have state reigns but it has very little to do with them. Actually, some of the schools on the list would have more state runs if it werent for their coaches.

If you get a chance this year I hope you can go out and watch some of these teams....you will notice that ALL of these teams have winning records and are fighting for first place in their district....I am sure coaching did not have a thing to do with this! Sometimes teams dont win because of the genetics of the parents. /flower.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":flower:" border="0" alt="flower.gif" />

I believe you left off Coach Bobby Wyrick of Summertown. 540 Victories, 22 District Championships, two final four appearences. How much about softball do you really know?

Pretty good bunch of coaches in this group. I would like to know how many "second generation" coaches are out there. I know Erica Powell from Friendship played at that school for Phil Burkhart when he coached there and I saw Andrea Dunford this past weekend at the MTSCA Tournament who also played at Friendship for Coach Burkhart and she now coaches at MLK. So by "second generation" I mean coaches who played for coaches still coaching. I think this speaks volumes about the type of influence a coach can be. I know by talking to Coach Burkhart how proud he is of these two young ladies.

Coach Burkhart is an amazing coach and he has done great things at every school where he has coached. Any softball player who plays for him is a lucky girl! Anyone who plays for him will learn not only about the game, but also about being a good Christian young lady...
