The SE Texas Sun Devils have hired a new coach:  Glenn 8) ;D Cecchini.  Coach Cecchini is the head coach for perennial national powerhouse, Lake Charles Barbe HS.  While at Barbe, Coach Cecchini has guided the Bucs to:

· 5 Louisiana 5A State Championships (including 2008)

· 13 consecutive District Championships

· Nationally ranked 15 of the past 16 years (including #1 in 1999)

Baseball America called his program “One of the Nation’s Top 10 baseball programs of the decade.† In addition to being named National Coach of the Year, his wife (Raissa Cecchini) has been named the National Assistant Coach of the Year.  She joins her husband as part of the Sun Devils’ staff.

As far as select baseball goes, this continues the Sun Devils’ tradition of finding and hiring the best coaches to work with their players.  Coach Cecchini is not only one of the best coaches in the country -- he also brings to the program contacts with college programs and Major League Baseball.  This will allow the Sun Devils to continue to do what they do best:  teach the game and assist their players in their goal to reach the next level. 

Matt Thompson remains the Head Coach and Director of Baseball Operations.  Along with Coach Cecchini, JR Bardin and Jimmy Neale also coach within the program.

Both the Sun Devils 18u and 16u teams will travel to Tucson AZ the week after Christmas to play in the UnderArmour Winter Classic.  These games will be played at the spring training site of the Arizona Diamondbacks and Chicago White Sox.  The Sun Devils will return home and play 2-3 weekends before their players return to their HS team.

I was wondering the same thing.  I'll take a guess.  He is involved with the Sundevils Orginization...he is a moderator on this website... and he feels this may promote or give a little more attention to his orginization???

My guess is you hit the nail on the head. BTW one more post and you get to smite or applaud.

Sounds like some people who are on outside looking in might be a little jealous???? 

Seems to me that this is good info for baseball people.  The guy is a top notch coach (one of best in country), who decided to throw in with a local organziation that has nationalpresence.  Why isnt that worth being "pinned"?  Good grief...don't you guys have something better to do?

Seems to me you would be wrong.  I have no dog in this fight. My son is 9 and stands no chance of breaking their lineup.

Same for me. My boys are 10 and 8. I do have a 15 year old daughter but she is weak when it comes to hitting a curve ball.  ;D

      Financial advice from kamala harris

      By LumRaiderFan · Posted

      This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up From the article: “As a parent, then as a homeowner, if you have some equity in your home, then you can say to your child, you know, ‘don’t take out the loan,’” she said. “‘I’ll take out some of the equity to help you pay for tuition so that you don’t graduate with extraordinary student loan debt, and so that when you graduate, you can do your dream job.’” Essentially, Harris suggested that parents give their kids a leg up in the world by being the ones to take out a loan instead. Except theirs would have much higher stakes than just needing to be paid back — it could mean losing their home. 🤦‍♂️

      It has been frustrating seeing the lack of coverage from virtually EVERY media outlet.  We (Chester) are in the SE Texas coverage area.  There are no radio broadcast from our area, and Ch 12 is the only one that has even mentioned it.   I know I could have gotten donations to cover a SETX Sports broadcast.  Oh well, water under the bridge - we aren’t as big as Silsbee, WO-S or PN-G.
