Congrats Coach Messer! Ripley beats Dyer Co

[sportfan1]

This would not even be a topic if the mommy's and daddy's of high school politics, oops, I mean sports would just leave well enough alone. Give credit where credit is due. Ripley won with the talent put on the field by the coach. No, he didn't actually play, but he prepared his team for the battle. He, along with the rest of the staff, called pitches, set the defense, called for steals and all of the like. This is supposed to be the best days of young athletes lives, and it is being ruined by, of all people, their parents. And it's not just here, it's all over the country. Let the man with the word head in front of his title of coach be that. Back off and give the kids free reigns to learn from outside influences. Contrary to popular belief, 99.99999999% of the time in sports, mommy and daddy don't know best, coach does. Parents are one of the biggest problems with the youth today. The kids grow up thinking that they are better than everyone else, or they are not givin the respect and guidence that they need. Either way you have a messed up kid. One striving to fail and the other failing to strive. If it were not for the parents being as they are, I would probably still enjoy coaching. But as it is, to quote the great Johnny Paycheck, take this job and shove it! Seriously, how can a kid succede in life if they are taught, or not even taught, that the people teaching them life lessons are always wrong. Get a grip parents, be just that, and let the folks who do a job or service for your kids do it uninhibited. Neither side is always right, or always wrong, that's what the kids are supposed to decide, it's called GROWING UP!

 

 

You just don't seem to get it, do you? You don't have a clue what all has happened here in Ripley. I will tell you this, if you are big enough to post your name, I'm sure there are a few people here to contact you and let you know exactly what's gone on here. How can you possibly state that "parents are one of the biggest problems with the youth today". Have you lost your mind? You obviously don't have kids and haven't listened to what most educators, preachers, and counselors say when they encourage parents to be involved in their child's life. This is all I hear nowdays that not enough parents are involved with their kids in any aspect. I take great offense to your remarks, and I don't have a kid playing. Let me say this, perhaps the reason you aren't coaching is because of this attitude. I certainly wouldn't want my child coached by you or taught by you, as you can't even spell succeed!! Perhaps you ought to take up another profession.

It must be your kid that is pickin' splinters pal! Coach Messer has done a good job with that UNTALENTED team. You all have one pitcher who throws in the low 80's(if that) and a catcher who MIGHT play college baseball. So give the guy credit, he led that team to where they are today! His gameplan versus Dyer County was good because DC out-talented them by a long way.

 

My, my, my. I enjoyed looking at all of your other posts. Obviously, you are someone who loves to jump in situations that you don't know anything about. You are what I'd call a S--- stirrer. I again would tell EVERYONE that doesn't know this situation to keep their mouth shut. There are a number of things going on in the background that are better left unspoken. It would be for all concerned, including the coach.
