Couldn't help notice the criticism of the umpiring in some of the other topics. I guess I've done my share of criticising some of the umpiring as well before I became one. That led me to start this topic. Since I am an umpire in this district, I'll leave my opinions out of it but I'm just wondering who folks think are some of the best umpires in Dist. 1.

I don't know last names but Tammy, meduim length curly hair. She is strict but very fair. She got the honor of umpiring at the state tournament a few years ago.

Craig, also don't know his last name, but he knows the rule book and isnt afraid inforce it. very professional guy.

There are some good umpires in District 1. Unfortunately, there are some really bad ones too. I don't know the names of the good ones, but I could sure name several of the bad ones (but won't). Come to think of it, that actually makes some sense because, in most cases, the competent officials (in all sports) go largely unnoticed as they typically apply the rules accurately and consistently. Although this may sound discriminatory, it is not intended to be. There are several umpires in District 1 that have physical limitations that severely deter their ability to do a decent job, i.e. poor eye sight, limited mobility, etc. My point is not to pick on senior citizens, but rather to state an opinion that at some point in life we all have to come to the realization that we "ain't what we used to be" and should maybe find something else more productive to do rather than trying to fool ourselves into believing otherwise. Continuing to try and do a job that you're not able to do simply does a disservice to yourself and the coaches/kids that work so hard each day to be the best they can be. As for all you good ones out there, I do appreciate your time and effort in doing a good job! My two cents...

Just looking for some honest opinions about something positive instead of the negative we all hear about. Thanks to the two or three that have given an honest answer. Guess that was too much to ask for from the "expert."

      I just saw on 5 Star Preps that Chaston Smith is transferring to Chattanooga McCallie. McCallie and Baylor are loading up. Baylor got UT commit Joakim Dodson and Former Alcoa player Kolby Barrett. They also got a bunch of other transfers.

      The lamentable departure of the esteemed coach, orchestrated by certain board members whose intellectual acumen leaves much to be desired, is a matter of grave concern. It is worth noting that these individuals, paradoxically invested in overseeing the educational welfare of others while opting for homeschooling for their own progeny, have effectively precipitated this regrettable outcome. One can only surmise that the repercussions of their actions will reverberate for an extended period, casting a pall over their respective tenures. Such consequences are indeed a cross they shall bear.

      In my humble assertion, I find it imperative to clarify that my personage was not among those counted. Regrettably, the departure of Coach Blake Satterfield did not augur well for the program's trajectory. It is with a tempered sense of admiration that I regard the individual of fortitude who dares to embrace this challenging mantle, for they shall undoubtedly encounter formidable obstacles in their quest to satisfy the less discerning denizens of Hartsville. May the fates smile upon Blake Satterfield in his forthcoming endeavors.

      Do you reckon this action demonstrates sound judgment? Whom do you propose as the most fitting candidate to assume the esteemed position of assistant principal at the middle school?
