This year East Hickman will be under a new Coach. He is from Texas and has Coached High School and JUCO for 20 something years. He seems to be extreemly knowledgeable of the game. The kids like him, but I dont expect big things from the Eagles this year,based simply on lack of participation. 3 Seniors as far as I have seen are playing, 3 Juniors,3 sophmores and a bunch of Freshmen. If he can keep his Freshman group together and they do not drift off into other things, they should do well in a few years. I can only hope for the Seniors sake they have a decent season, since these kids have played on the very first Middle School team in Hickman county they have had a different Coach, this is the 6th coach they will have thru School ball. Kind of a rough way to go. The Coach is Steve Spatts this year, and he is starting off on the right foot. If he stays , he will definetly help the team get going.

 

Good Luck this year, if the coach is good you better hang on to him. Turnover is never good. :roll:

I hope so too, but for some reason in the Hickman County school system,they tend to run off good Coaches. I really like the Coach we have this year, I think if given a chance, he can make good things happen for our program. But after what they did to Coach Britt, and Coach Jones (football) it sickens me, who knows what they will do to this Coach.

wow 6 coachs in 6 years has got to be some kind of record for school ball. no wander you all just have only 3 seniors. who do you all have pitching this year? any surprise super stars. and is your super star catcher still there or is he gone. seemed like the parents did not like the coach last year over there at spring hill we were laughing hard at the parent acting so tough through the fence arguing with there own coach. where did this coach go to any idea? good luck this year except when you play us. ha ha

We have 2 returning starting pitchers this year,1 is a junior and 1 senior, and yes the catcher is still there, he will also be pitching this year as well. Our coach from last year went to Lexington. 95% of the parents loved Coach Britt, It was a few disgruntled parents that kept the "drama'' going for our team. but thats all it takes to get things going in Hickman County,If you are not in the "Click" , and a few calls to the right people and you will be railroaded, innocent or not. We are just trying to focus on having a respectful year and get a good program started.

Yes there is some real dirty stuff goes on behind the scenes in Hickman County, but I imagine it can happen anywhere. On a positive note the kids are working hard and the few that stuck it out may get rewarded in some way or another. Fairview should be ok this year, I know they have several good ball players there, Ethan Cassidy ( he is by trade a football player but is also very skilled baseball player as well.) and Wyatt Lampley, both have played travel ball in the past ,but do not know if they are playing. If I remember correctly they had a lefty that could throw pretty good also.

Thats the problem, the parents think they can be coaches from the sideline! They need to just enjoy the game and let the coaches do their job! :D If there is anything worse for a program is parents that can't keep their mouths shut ;)

I know that Lewis Co. came to Perry Co. yesterday and played in a play day..Teams included Scotts Hill, Perry Co, and Hampshire..LC beat Hampshire and dropped two against a hard hitting, compact Scotts Hill team and then to a young PC team 3-2 with a very questionable call at home that wouldve tied it.. I do believe however that LC puts the ball in play, runs the bases well, and they will make you get them out.

Willie,

Did I hear correctly? CA 3 / SH 1 ?

Was that a regular season game or scrimmage?

Who pitched for CA, limiting SH to 1 run?

    • 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 
    • RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
