Re: South Point adds Middle School softball

Re: 2019 SOC 1

this needs to stop. the same topic has taken over several threads. this is supposed to be about the soc 1 not about parent not happy with the coaching at green. I agree 100%. There are parents with hurt feelings all over the place, but you don't see them on here attacking coaches and claiming they ...

Re: Question

Softball is a weird sport to me. There's such a strange fear of acknowledging some players but yet over praising ones only based on hearsay and rumors about ability. I watched both all star games last year. I'll tell you right now some of the names on the other threads list didn't impress while som...

Re: Top 10 players in SE Ohio...

How much work are they putting in? I can't imagine any coach, regardless of their agenda, not playing the best and hardest working player on a team. They might not be the favorite player for reasons that have been discussed but.. Let's put things into perspective, a few of the kids named on here as...

Winter Conditioning (Open-Field/Gym)

What programs have started their open-field/gym non-mandatory conditioning now? How many days a week is it offered and what is occurring at these open-fields?

Awesome news! The school sponsored JH teams in this area are very sparse.

I believe all of their junior high teams aren't school sponsored though, just the HS teams.

Re: Top 10 players in SE Ohio...

It really aggravates me when people complain about parent coaches. Yea sure there are the select few that aren't any good or in it for the wrong reasons. But our softball program is where it is right now because of the work the parents put into it throughout little league and jr high. Then you have...

Re: Top 10 players in SE Ohio...

Parent coaching is always going a part of small conference softball. Not enough pay and rewards for non parents to volunteer 100's of hours to only have parents rip you to shreds on social media . Coaching has always been a tough gig , but in 2018-2019 its beyond brutal . Your every move analyzed ....

Re: Top 10 players in SE Ohio...

StateTheFacts, what is your fix to the problem, reading your opinion of what is wrong but what would you do to fix it at your school. I don’t mind the conversation but should be kept to separate topic about your school. The fix would be to ensure that the best player is in every position and battin...

Re: 2019 OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE SCHEDULES

The OVC with 8 members now soaks up most of the schedule for these teams. It is hard to build a strength of schedule if the conference is down. I am always impressed with Ironton's non-conference having Wheelersburg and Blazer on the schedule for as far as I can remember. Rock Hill has Minford which...

Waterford should show what East has at the start of the season. ND has increased their schedule strength with Fisher Catholic and Greenup County. Does anyone know what kind of numbers ND has coming back and what their 8th grade did this year?

Re: Top 10 players in SE Ohio...

Hard to talk about top players when the knowledge is skewed by coaches who does vote trading for their own kids in the awards when we don't see all the teams in the area. How about we get rid of parent "coaches" at the HS level?
