I think Coach Lane has improved baseball in Kirbyville.  Kirbyville has never been what you would call a baseball power.  His first year in Kirbyville they were in the second round of the playoffs and lost to Bridge City(I dont remember a Kirbyville team that has made it out of the first round).  Then they were put in one of the best districts in the state in baseball in 3A for two years.  A lot of good teams missed out on the playoffs (ex. silsbee and orangefield).  His teams have always played hard and were competitive.  Last year they were 16-8 and beat some very good teams.  They have a very good chance this year to make the playoffs with the kids they have coming back.  Why didn't you keep playing speedkills?  Sounds like you could have helped the team when you were older.   

You are correct, Kirbyville lost two good coaches in McKeller and McInnis.  But seriously, what is your beef with the current coach.  Didn't he win a state title in Colmesneil recently?  Speedkills, are you a former player that is disgruntled about playing time because someone else was better than you.  Dont be bitter and blame the coach.  Support the team, dont tear it down. This year should be a good year for the Cats.  Lots of juniors, should be fun to watch.  Good luck to the Kirbyville Wildcats this season!

Catfan81, you are obviously a disgruntled JV team dad that is a coward not to go talk with the coach about the situation. I can see the coach's point of view on the matter. A player goes to an instructor, and starts doing things with his swing that the coach may not want taught. The coach corrects the problem, then the kid is torn between do I listen to my instructor or the coach. Did any of the kids having problems hitting go and talk to the coach about help with their swing before going for lessons? I wish Kirbyville nothing but the best in the new district that they are in. Catfan81, get on board because Kirbyville baseball will be better this year.
