Ha ha yall don’t want me to get off the board. No one from Kelly has recruited anyone for anything. I only know off their coach we received lessons from him, and the kids I speak of play Football, Softball and Baseball. Their parents have asked my opinion of what it takes to play at the next level and what they could do to help make it a reality, I help everyone as best as I can to guide them in the right direction. Not everyone likes what I have to say and that’s fine . Every one is responsible for their own kids development, I have put in 25 years and thousands of hours it seems with my own and others as of now 8 kids have went on to the next level from 4 different schools. But being a liar and idiot what do I know.

1 last reply and I am done. Do you remember the 3rd game of the malakov series. The game ended with an error that cost us the game. That is not what cost us the game , the decision not to use our ace who had 20 something pitches left is what actually cost us the game. As in Huntington the starter had 20 pitches left. Again decisions ultimately cost us again. I would expect you to know this but I guess not. There are no kids capable of playing perfect baseball all the time. Coaching decisions play a larger role than you think. By the way I’m not the ones calling the school board. I am done. So you are correct I don’t care and I have been biting my tongue all year. I do have 4 friends with kids that have D1 aspirations that will be a bigger pain in the neck than me. I have been relatively civil.

Just look at the topic . You picked a fight with me . I will give my opinion you can like it or not. I have bigger things to worry about than what is going at the school.

Look up the term credulous. There is more going on than meets the eye. Did the umpire not send the first baseman’s mitt back, was it not a huge embarrassment for the entire team. Did many school board members not get a call. You know yourself there are problems, keep your head in the sand. You are part of the problem.

Umpires would not let them continue the game without a mitt, even tried to use the 1st base mitt. He would not allow that . Pollock would not allow theirs to be used. They were told they could not continue with the mitt. If they could not repair it game was over.

On the bright side it would have been cool to be the first school in the State if not the Nation to shut a team out 4 to 0 and forfeit due to a lack of funds or incompetence.

Will Woodville school Board do away with all athletic programs except Football? I hope so. All the funds have ceased already. It is better to do away with them than continue as is. Next year the parents will need to bus their kids to and from games and split the umpires fees at the gate. Parents will need to hold fund raisers at the front door of Walmart if they want to continue playing.

We were going to have to forfeit the game because we had no spare catching equipment. The softball dad fixed the mitt so they could finish the game

Dead gum softball dad bailed them out with a retreading tool. He needs to go home,

The plan is working to perfection. A Broken catchers mitt to cause woodville to Forfeit. All money to be taken away from all sports but Football. This foolishness is almost over.

No issue, As Hannibal Smith said in the ATeam movie. I love it when a plan comes together. Puffing on his cigar.

Like everything else you get what you pay for.

To find the to that question, you will need to ask Newton, Daingerfield, Tatum, West Orange Stark, Corrigan Camden and now Woodville.

Being proven at the Varsity level means absolutely nothing if you don’t have College offers. It just means you are just another good highschool ball player. There are millions of them.

Not related but I would claim him in a heartbeat if he were. He is what every kid should be.
