This was just Liberty dreaming about next week!

I love seeing all the kids that we played with thru the STJFL. Good luck boys 

The field looks amazing.

Well since you are such a great HJ Fan(with no kids on the team) why not try being a little more supportive instead of all the negative you're throwing out there. I sure hope those Sophomores make you eat crow this coming week. From what I hear Sloan is also big on work-ethic and leadership; so if a kid is out there busting his butt every day vs. a kid sitting back and just going thru the motions who would you put in? That being said I wouldn't think Sloan would just put a kid out there to "build a program" and risk his job/credibility when there is a better kid sitting on the bench. 

I see a coach using the preseason games to season his younger players to increase depth...smart coaches don't make winning the number one priority in the preseason games.  I do understand there is a balance to be had as not deflate your team, but a new coach trying get a handle on the finer details equals trial and error which is not the best combination for winning early on but could be the key to winning when it counts...just my thoughts.

You are right Band Camp it may be a long season. One of the starting corners is my son.  I'm sorry if your kid didn't work hard enough to play his Sr. year and if you call one deep ball every long pass to his side you are correct he sucks. Was that 1 deep pass before or after he was deep for a kickoff or on kick off team, punt return or punt team, fullback, or holding the extra point for field goals? I will tell you this he will continue to work his ass off and believe me, if you know me I will be the first to tell you, if my kid is not one of the best 11 that give this team a chance to win get him off the field. The Hawks are a team and I'm sure them and the coaches have by know means thrown in the towel.  Sloan probably like most coaches has an open door policy why don't you go talk to him?  New coach, new system with two teams in previous years that went back to back 3 rounds deep in the playoffs, if you think for one instance that Coach Sloan is building for the future you are mistaken. He is trying to continue the reputation that has been built over the last few seasons. I'm way harder on my kids than you could ever be and he was taught that nothing in life comes free, YOU HAVE TO EARN IT.  Let me ask you this how many of those Seniors and Juniors that are not starting when one of those sophomores messed up went up to them and said man its ok, you'll live to see another day? That would be a team leader. If they were raised by you to think like you just because of classification you deserve it, probably none. Try being part of the solution and not the problem.

Man I sure hope you are wrong about Moreaux.  Such a great kid and a playmaker.   Also I thought if someone transfers that they lose a year of eligibility?

Heheheeeeeee...... I don't think either of those boys made any errors..... Just having a little trouble at the plate, but I have not seen 1 kid, including the 2 that have signed, go up to the plate and hit a piss-rod every time.... Pomirko had a great at bat... Got walked, stole a base, and scored on a passed ball.... Calm down, give coach Erickson a chance..... He's a baseball guy.... Hey, this is not typical HJ baseball... We are fairly deep on the hill this year... He is dealing with the loss of Haskett and Julian only being there half the time... Got some really good freshman that just need to settle down and relax.. I thought we showed some good signs Friday in Splendora... I think the only issue we have is too many balls falling in the outfield or routine base hits turning into doubles... If we can shore that up, we will be solid....

Objective is to put the best players on the team correct? So class shouldn't matter! If 2 freshman are getting looks on varsity it must be for a reason. Let them compete and make the coaches decision hard. If they don't get there this year, at least they made the upperclassman understand nothing will be given to them and they had to compete to earn their spot. Long run it will all make the TEAM better!!  

Sounds like a bitter player or parent of a player. I guarantee you a high school coach is gonna play the best player fit for the job, or they won't have a job very long.

I am sure Tim would sit down and discuss your expertise on this matter. Just give him a call.

Is your kid not playing?

Cool down man...coaches use scrimmages to evaluate players and potential...HJ will be fine, they have quality players and coaches. You will see.

Oh lord, little Timmy broke his " TEE BALL TROPHY"
