This is not coach Seal. We went to the state tourney 3 times b-4 the transfer arrived. He was not a contributor to last season's state tourney run. That was not his fault, because he was injured. We still made the state tourney when he was not effective because of injury. We made the state two in a row before he arrived. The team actually played better before his late season return. Would we have been better if he had been healthy all season?(YES) Did his laid back approach to the game hurt what we try to instill in our players? (YES). DO I wish him the best of luck at UTC? (YES) I only wish they had chose not to attack the applicants before they left. Then, bring in a hired gun to the rescue. Like, we don't know how to handle a program which was in great shape before they arrived. I worked hard in the middle school to make believers that hard work and preparation and conditioning wins ballgames. My tenure as middle school coach and Tony at the high school level coinsides. I also put together the first AAU program for the Lakway Area. I have put alot of time and effort into a great group of young men. We have good people here. (Players and coaches) Ultimately, we as coaches are no better than our players and we have had hard working players who made us look like we knew what we were doing in most of the state. Players and parents who transfer in sometimes tend to ignore that. Maybe a year in the college ranks will mellow me out some, but I doubt it.

 

 

 

I noticed you were asking about John Ferguson. He is a good one. Did you see my answers to your questions on him? What school will you be with next year? Lets move on to more important stuff, my debate on shoulda, coulda is over. Its been interesting though.

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
