This is a very good district with 6 out of the 8 having a chance of making the playoffs. EC should win this one, but if the Hornets could pull off the upset it would make things real interesting.

[quote]The problem is, DC9, that us as volunteer coaches get less scrutiny than the guys who are coaches.  I say this from the same experience level as you, having volunteered and coached for a few years.  (kid chauffeur, confidante, nurse, etc. included). While there are safeguards in place to protect the kids against predators, we don't have the ability as youth leagues to conduct in depth background checks like we should.  When that happens, you get situations like this.  In addition, because we want to have the help that is needed, we might overlook a person's tendency to be an idiot.  Another problem is that we have let people be ugly to each other with no consequence.  I know a lot of posters on here will say "what, we can't taunt and trash talk?"  On a forum, in a loud stadium, your words are not as big a deal.  In fields where there are less than 200 people, a loud mouth is more recognized, and that leads to people being idiots and losing their cool. As voluteer coaches, there has to be a way for us to put a stop to idiocy before it gets out of hand      [/quote]

I agree, and as a local league president, understand that alot of times a leagues coaching resources are limited. I just do not like the good people giving their time being categorized the same as the idiots on the film. Perhaps I read more into the statement, I don't know.

There is no excuse for what took place on that film. I will never try to defend anyone whoe engages in that type of conduct, but I am tired of hearing about daddy ball and wannabe coaches. There are thousands of dads and moms who give up countless hours of their time each year to not only teach the fundamentals of sports but to build character, teach respect, teamwork, discipline, etc. To be stereotyped as a wannabe coach just because I volunteer for youth organizations disgusts me. Just because you get a bachelors degree in education doesn't make you a coach either.

Should be a great game with serious playoff implications in a very tough 2a district. May have to give a slight edge to EC playing at home.

I also think they will win a game, just not this one.

I will be really suprised if this game is close. WOS is just to much for the Bulldogs at this point of the season.

Hooks Baseball 11u elite will be looking to add 1 player to the 10 man roster. We had a very successful 1st season winning the State Tournament and World Series. We are looking for a player who can come in and gel with our existing boys and play at the elite level. Hooks Baseball is an excellent organization with the emphasis on fundamentals and team play. Our 12u team just returned from Cooperstown and Plans are being made for our 11u team as well.

Santa Fe 24  BH 21 in a good one.
