8aaa baseball

In 2002 Coffee County went 0 -12 in 8AAA and got put out by Franklin County in the play in game.  As I remember, they went on to have several successful years after that.  The 2002 team was very similar to this years team.  They had a very talented group of sophomores and freshmen that took their lumps during the 2002 season but were totally invested in turning things around.  As I remember they also had a group of parents that stayed the course and believed in the coaching staff, and as a result the players totally bought in to the process of getting better.  I have absolutely no doubt, that if left alone, and allowed to do what he does, Coach Martin will get the baseball program where it needs to be.  I have been around the game of baseball basically my entire life, and have been around coaches of all levels.  I have seen the very good and the very bad.  Coach Martin not only has one of the better baseball minds of coaches I have been around, but he is one of the highest character and integrity people I have known.  Good luck to Coffee County in the play in game tomorrow, but regardless of the result of tomorrow's game, trust the process under the leadership of Coach Martin.

Martin is not the answer here. They had it going for 11 years but ran off Chase Jones several years ago. They hired a guy who just quit on them, then the next coach had his well documented issue and was fired and now Martin. Guess they didn't know how good they had it.

After the 13-1 debacle in the district tournament i heard 2 seniors after the game say thank goodness this is over. Most seniors when they play their last game ever are tore up and sad that it is over. Our program needs major change and by what my daughter says it would help our PE program. She told her mom last night that Coach Martin has not taught one single day this semester. She says the entire class lays in the hallway all class. How does this happen. This was not allowed in my era, Coach Rusty would have taken care of business in class and on the field.

I came to the game last night like I usually do. I played for  Coach Caldwell in the late 80’s. Our lead off batter got a hit and then we went 7 full innings with not 1 hit. The language I hear coming from our dugout is horrible and kids are laughing when they strike out. This didn’t happen when I played and it shouldn’t be allowed now. It is very obvious we have zero leadership, at the top. Sad very sad.

I thought you didn't go to the game last night?

What are you talking about, I said in my very first line that I went to the game last night? You must be one of the coaches because obviously you can’t comprehend anything smh

    • hey goat! how’s monterey looking this year?! 
    • several people actually. they said “snoball, do you know who railbird81 is on coacht?” I said, “never heard of her.” they said, “you ought to check it out they’re getting fired up on there like the old days.” well, you can imagine my disappointment when I came here expecting sharp, witty banter and all i found was more akin to toddlers slap fighting. and what looks like 1 guy/gal talking to themselves with multiple accounts.
    • Shopping? His family is loaded and he's 6'6 I'm pretty sure he could start anywhere in upper East TN,So no need to shop. Word is Witten got caught trying to work him out on campus and some 7 on 7 while playing athletics for Sullivan East. Word got around pretty quick and Someone turned them into TSSAA.
    • Quick update on Jacob -  Jacob celebrated his 16th birthday at Vanderbilt on Tuesday and has been in decent spirits.  His sense of humor has begun to show as he was visited by many friends.  He is swallowing a lot better now and has eaten some of his favorites (Chik-Fil-A and Five Guys).   He is getting prepared to head to Atlanta to the Shepherd Center first thing tomorrow morning.  His family has been waiting on insurance approval. In case you dont know the Shepherd Center it a world class facility and supposedly one of the best in the country for spinal injury rehab.  Praying for perfect results there. Considering the circumstances, Jacob is in decent spirits.  He has some reflexive movement in his legs which I think is probably a very positive sign.  Don't read too much into that just yet as there is no telling what the real prognosis is... just hopeful that is good thing.  I am really just happy that it seems like he has a punchers chance of getting something back.  He is a strong young man and very determined so I think he will fight as hard as he can in physical therapy while down in Atlanta. More than one of you has asked me about an address to send donations.  I know GoFundMe isn't for everyone.  If you want to go that route, you can make a check to "Blackman Wrestling Club" and we will pass anything received directly to the Kinderdines.   Jacob Kinderdine c/o Blackman Wrestling 4836 Trevino Court Murfreesboro, TN  37128 Also, want to thank everyone who has donated so far.  Jacobs dad will take a month off work and stay in Atlanta with him.  They need to learn how to take care of him and do home therapy work..... and surely Jacob will be glad his dad can be there.  All that could not happen without you all.  Depending on what happens, they will probably end up doing some home remodeling in order to accommodate Jacob at their home.  Thanks again. Here's a pic I lifted from Facebook of Jacob on Oxy talking to his Uncle.  LOL
