So now that the Panther baseball season is over, what do you think went wrong? New coach, returning starters (mostly seniors)... the ingredients were there but only won 3 games total and 0 in the district. People seemed so optimistic about this year. What happened? Seymourbutts, what are your thoughts?

I viewed all the discussion about Portland's new coach and "New Attitude" with much interest and reserved judgement. I am sure the new coach does a great job. I am also clear on one fact that seemed to be obscured in all the discussion, you had a great coach in Coach Thompson. The talent well has run dry in P-Town. The Daughterys, Rays, Boltons, Brooks, Conyers, Thayers, Depriests and Ballentines are no longer wearing the Purple as players.

I got to see the Portland Panthers in action on several seperate occasions this season. For the most part there seemed to be a lot of talent on the field but not much unity. The coaching seemed to be there, but without unity no team will do well. I have heard that Portland did not show much "class", whether winning or losing, throughout there season. In my opinion that is another recipe for disaster.

WOW! You guys need to pick up golf or something. Getting on here to analyze the season is desperate. Coaching staff did a great job with the level of talent that is there. JP has a great attitude and knows how to win but that just don't happen. /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" /> Did the P-town gossip clan expect to get out of that district this year? Look for the good things, not what went wrong. Move on with the positive and leave the negative behind.

 

That right there may be a big part of the problem.

Gee, Seymour, take a chill pill. No need to take this so personally. How is my asking your thoughts on what went wrong this year "rubbing it in your face"? I am simply opening the post season up for discussion just like you started a topic on the improvement of phs baseball. Do you agree with Chalktalk that the talent level is down or with 9-holebomber that there was no unity on the team? Since you are graduating, maybe you could be a leader and shed some light on what changes could be made for next year's players. Thanks, Big Man!

Its hard to find positive when you only won three games and they were all against 1A teams not only did we not win a district game in 2A but next year the glass will be empty (no optimism) because we will be in 3A were the competition is a lot better. The best thing that can happen is that Portland opens up 2 more high schools and we can all be 1A were we belong and we can compete. There is always next year PHS Strawberry champs 10'

The coach has taken Porltand back to the stone ages. He could only beat single A teams at his old school before he got FIRED and that is all he can beat now. As far as college, hah, you are kidding yourself. It is not very smart to spread false reports. All because someone gets invited to a weak tryout that is not interest, that is a bone. The closest to a college field you will see is watching from the stands. This whole season you and your comments have been a joke. You know nothing about baseball, good coaching or leadership. As long as JP is head coach the program will be bad.

    • 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.
    • What is the hold up here? I have not heard anything in weeks. Are they waiting for the right person or is something else going on?
    • Per usual, we'll be hard to beat in the regular season, I'm sure. It's the post season that I'm more worried about, specifically the coaches. Maybe they'll be able to make some adjustments that will keep the momentum in our favor. How's Grays recovery coming along?
    • Something don’t add up here a college coach is not going to turn away a good player they need just because they didn’t get along with their high school coach
