I have watched these threads about St Henry baseball time after time and I can't stay silent any longer. I put four kids through St Henry. All four were athletes, and all four went on to participate in sports at the next level. I had a leadership role in the school boosters group for a few years. You might think by that comment that I would say that St Henry athletics was a positive experience. Not so. I think my kids were successful DESPITE the sports program administration. I found them unprofessional, arbitrary and generally an obstacle to progress. Especially as it relates to baseball.
The AD does not show any visible support for baseball, and bows to parental pressure, undermining coaches at every turn. For that reason, I would never recommend a friend to take the head baseball job there. I sure wouldn't want to work for a boss who consistently undermines me.
So, I'm pretty sure I have a clue as to what has happened at St Henry, at least since 1998. And I pretty much totally agree with kywonder. It's a mess. And it belongs primarily to the AD and the assistant principal.
