Did they fire her or just not renew her as a teacher? I'm told there will be several new coaches next year due to budget concerns within area school systems. A lot of teachers that just happen to be coaches will not have jobs next year because the school systems are trying to save money. A lot of non tenured teachers are being let go. Don't know what the case is here - just asking.

No . . . she was told, resign or else.

SH will never be state-level in softball.

Why not? That's not fair.

Girls sports don't get much support on the Hill. There is no commitment to the program. On top of that, I'm not sure there is a talent base to support a state run at the AAA level.

She couldn't have been at Science Hill that long..what happened? Are you sure it wasn't a job thing? Her teams performed well..I believe Science Hill has had state talent for about the last 4 or 5 years, but just couldn't hold it all together when they needed to. It's a young team now for whoever takes over.

Peterson was there two years. It was a combination of lots of complaints on the job and in the coaching ranks. I wish her luck.

 

The talent IS there, it just has to be handled right. And true, girl??™s sports at Science Hill and anywhere else for that matter, ever gets the attention the boy??™s sports do. Female sports have come a long way in the last 10 to 20 years.

Just a note: Of the 6 seniors graduating from SH, 2 are going onto college to play ball and 2 others have the opportunity to play also if they so choose.

 

With the right coach, I look for Science Hill to make another strong run for the conference title again next year. Boone will be the team to beat, I am sure.

She is an excellent coach!!! Look for politics to be involved.

I am not close enough to the Science Hill program to know what happened to Coach Peterson, so I will not comment. I believe Science Hill could be a state power in softball if the system decides to pursue it. They have always had talent, but have never had stability in coaching at the high school or middle school level. I would say contacting former Dobyns Bennett coach Jerry Higgins would be a good start if they are serious about building their program.
