You make some good points, I think I might be one of those crazy MJ parents.... :) Actually I think MJ over achieved this season..... defense and pitching were fine, hitting was never there.

 

So if Carter leaves for TSSAA ...MJ is looking for another coach as well.... I hear 3 assistants have stepped down.

 

Honestly, Coach Carter did a pretty good job of it......the expectations are high there.

 

If you admit they overachieved this season, you aren't one of the crazy parents, LOL. You know the ones I'm talking about (some aren't even parents).........team lost quite a bit from 2012 and was literally one timely base hit away from making the state tournament.

 

I am a huge Purvis fan from a coaching and accountability (baseball wise) perspective. The only reason he isn't coaching is because of himself. I hate it, but that's the way it is. Baseball at MJ is on another level as far as expectations go, and it's hard for anyone who has never actually done it, or seen it, to understand it.

 

I'm not 100% sure that Carter is leaving (like anyone else, I just hear through the grapevine).....but it wouldn't suprise me. The job itself I'm sure just takes a toll on you. As for anyone in coaching high school athletics.......I think you are much better off being the guy who follows the guy who follows the legend (in this case Purvis).......than being the guy that follows the legend. I also think with the politics and demands on these high school coaches.......you are better off being the guy who builds a lesser program into a winner (see LHS athletics the past decade), than taking a job at an established program (like MJ).......makes for a long season when you have deal with parents that think "Little Timmy" is going D1 based on his high school career..........

They might be interested in that LHS gig..........if you win 12-15 games and finish middle of the district, you are a winner. LOL.

As a former coach at LHS, I feel like the baseball program needs stability. Hiring a local baseball guy like Jody Atwood, Mike Mantooth, etc...would go a long way in getting that program competitive again. Plus you are talking about high-character men who would be good in the classroom and provide the discipline and leadership needed.

Throw your hat in Redsman. Just leave Lowe & Atwood at FCS. Those two know how to mold & develop young men on the field & in the classroom. I do think your idea of Caven at LHS baseball would be a nice fit since he's already employed by Wilson county schools. Plus He has Former head coach experience at smith Co, and has been asst in football, basketball & baseball at FC. he would be a Perfect fit at Lebanon or Watertown for any openings.

      2024 Mustangs

      By 1983 · Posted

      Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      By Baseball8 · Posted

      I would not put too much stock into the UH over Eagleville. From what I understand they were pretty banged up in that tourney. Catcher was out, they were throwing pretty deep in their bullpen and a few key players were beat up in their infield. Sounds like they are pretty healthy heading into the district tournament. Look at their schedule, they played some really good teams.
