I don't usually share personal bits of info, but have talked with a few guys in here about coaching, just wanted to share about my baseball team. I coach high school baseball, head varsity coach. Been the head coach for this my 10th season. We have had a great season this far, league record of 13-1 and an overall record of 16-3. Our season finale is tomorrow night against my alma mater, kind of fun for me. Anyway, have 11 seniors on my squad this year, has been a blast. Secured the league title 2 days ago and are back-to-back champions for the 2nd time since I've been here. Subs and Districts start up next week and we are a favorite to go to state and are under the radar as far as state polls, which seems weird since we were co-champs last season and a state participant. My school doesn't have a baseball tradition in its history, but recently we have been pretty good. The coach before me built a winning team after 3 years and we went to state for the first time in school history in 2003. Since then we have 4 league titles, 2 more state berths and looking for a 3rd. I'm looking for the schools first state game win this year, and I think I have the kids to do it. I know Bama is a baseball coach, what's your season turning out to look like?
Anyway, wish us luck, this senior group has some pretty high goals, been together for alot of years.

I love coaching and it has been a big part of my life since 2007. I wish you and your team luck coug....it's so nice to have a good group of Seniors, makes it all worth while.

Our team is doing well. Next week is last week of regular season. Our varsity is 25-1-1. Tie was a tournament game. My JV is 15-2-3. We stay healthy, our guys can make a good run to state I hope.

Ive always thought of eventually coaching when I get time as a way of giving back. But, as much as Im a micromanager, I feel like Id go crazy

Impressive

Our head coach does a great job. You may have to go to pigs knuckle Arkansas community college to play but he can get almost all of our guys a scholly.

Nice. We punched our State Regional Ticket on Wednesday. 2 more games tomorrow for seeding, next Saturday is the regionals.

Awesome job, guys! Good luck in your state tourneys. My 13u team is about to drive me nuts. Soooo inconsistent.

We won region on wed. Win or go home tonight for a spot in state tourney.

Well, damn it all to hell. We lost our first State game 4-1. 5 errors, and only 2 hits just did us in. We had a season average of .400 and probably batted under .300 since. Very disappointing, words just really can't describe it. 11 Seniors, going to be a rebuild project next year. Only had 3 underclassmen get playing time for varsity. Tough couple days for me and the boys...

Ended up 22-4, most wins in school history. 4 short of a state title...
