Well, tigerpride23, Caplinger is a great pitcher, but a slight hop or leap is not correct.  She is illegal by a lot.  The moment she takes that toe off the ground, she is illegal.  She leaps about 9 inches and that is a lot.  

 

All the appearances Bond has had in the State and he has not corrected his pitcher - well, that is on him. 

 

He is a great coach, he coaches a great team and has a great pitcher that would have benefitted from someone standing up and correcting a wrong. 

 

I am all for DeKalb, but it is ashamed nobody has had the guts to stand up and make this pitcher a super pitcher by doing things the correct way.

Umpires anywhere rarely call it unless the opposing coach calls it to their attention. I am sure the opposing coaches at the tourney read coacht...lol.

You are making my point for me about Caplinger, one 8AA program has done everything short of the Supreme Court(insert sarcasm) and to my knowledge it has not been called locally. My beef isn't with Dekalb at all, it's with the bunch of dead weights that call themselves umps in the Upper Cumberland.

Congrats on a great season Dekalb... Definitely a great team. Let me say Tyra Graham is a phenomenal player... She showed up and showed out her last game of her high school career.

 

TigerPride23, I agree if you watched video taken at state after they started calling illegal pitching... She did a much better job of dragging. I have plenty of video from season where it is VERY obvious & I have some from state after they called her and she leaps a little. When she had to pitch legal... More hitters hit off her than normal. Hey I don't blame the kid at all... If they aren't calling it why stop. I blame our umps for not keeping it fair.

Haha... 😆No doubt coaches paid attention more because it was brought to light. But, they called her on it because she was doing it. Every team in our district complained ..Our umps never had the guts to do it. Hey like I said ... I don't blame her or Bond for not correcting it... If they don't call it keep doing it. I took video of her last few games at state and it was much better, and she was still called every game for it, vs what we saw all season.

8 aa question?? Does anyone know whom what team finished the state tournament highest? ? Looks like dekalb finished 4 th this year..

Upperman finished 3rd about 5 years ago but I really can't remember before that, something in my mind says Dekalb was runner up once but I maybe totally wrong about that

The video you're referring to is the one I saw. Also I can agree she does have some correcting to do.

 

Hats off to Tyra Graham. She hit two more homers tonight. Phenomenal player.

    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say ..
