cobracoach Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Please notice the start dates for Softball and Baseball this year compared to the ending of basketball season!! I have been coaching for more years than I can count and have never seen this lap over with these dates before....so the spring sports must not be that important! Has anyone else notice this and if so what are the reasoning....yes it doesn't effect all schools but the ones it does isn't fair to have to start later.

LetMeHearYA Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 I'm pretty sure the spring sports lap over with the Boy's State basketball championship every year or almost every year. Not sure how often with the Girl's State Championship but I know it does with the boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobracoach Posted August 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 This is the first that I can remember in over 30 years. Don't understand why they didn't start BB sooner.....oh I do know Football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelMyers76 Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Boys basketball has overlapped multiple times. I can remember having to cancel games due to having players still in basketball. Softball has typically just been preseason playdays that were missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazzyness Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Need to pump your breaks a bit friend. The reason there is now overlap in softball isn't because basketball is going on longer, its because they are letting spring sports start a week earlier this year.

thegreatwhite1 Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 Baseball has always ran into the Boys State Basketball tournament. First day of contests for Spring Sports has been the day after the time change for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
District12AA Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 This happens every 10 years or so because of the calendar. I know it happened back in 2009. My nephew had to miss start of baseball season because it was the same day as basketball sectionals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
