Trader let’s hear about the new baseball coach at the Hill

[BigEdMo]

Alright Trader y’all got another good coach down on the Hill!!! What’s up brother? Great hire.

Trader, more specifically, what happened to the 2018 Scotts Hill baseball. Did they hire an interim head coach?  If not, this is the second head coach as in my years.

When Coach Harkin left for Germantown, it was not a good time to hire a replacement. It was determined that we would "sit on" the job for a year since we had a very capable interim on campus in Coach Woodmore (our football HC, who has plenty of experience coaching baseball), and open up the job after this past season. Coach Cooper evidently saw something in our community, our program, and our kids that was attractive enough to inquire about, and from our end, all that I can say about the hiring of our new coach is that God puts people in the places that they are supposed to be if they place their trust in him. I seriously doubt that there are many programs in the state that wouldn't feel blessed to hand over the keys to Chuck Cooper if they were looking for a coach, and I promise that there's been a lot of excitement about our future since the announcement. Good day to be a Lion!!!

Great hire Trader. Scotts Hill is very attractive for many reasons. Good luck my brother.

Just had my first face to face meeting with Coach since the hire was made official, and I'm more impressed than ever with the man... the "baseball" part of what he does is well known, but the character, drive, and confidence of the guy will set you back on your heels for a minute if you've never talked about the  philosophical side of just dealing with young men. I'm all in... we definitely hit the proverbial "home run" with this hire.
