The 37th District is the toughest district in the region and is one of the tougher ones in the state with Campbell, Scott, Brossart, and Silver Grove (depending whos on the mound)

 

 

You're kidding, right?

You're kidding, right?

 

State might be pushing it, Just looking around NKY Cov. Cath, Beechwood, and Holy Cross comes to mind, But to say the 37th isn't tough, would be false. It's by far the best district in the 10th as far as depth, which shows you how top heavy the 10th is, but the 37th isn't fun to be in.

Every player is told that grades are part of what goes into making the team along with discipline within the school setting and of course the players skill. All of these things are monitored throughout the season and are taken into consideration when it comes to playing time. I am quite certain a PLAYERS NAME has nothing to do with it. I know for a fact the past three years there have been two players, relatives of a coach, who have been cut, so I am positive there is no sign of nepotism when it comes to making one of the teams. To me sounds like someone still has sour grapes and is looking at the Varsity slow start to harp on non-issue once again.

 

Varsity plays of tough schedule to begin the year, there is a great deal of promise and expectations are very high for this year’s team. Let’s try having some patience and see how things play themselves out. The goal is not to win every game, it is unrealistic for that to happen, should they strive for that, absolutely, but the true focus should be on getting better as the year goes and to be peaking when it counts and to compete and win district and regional titles.

 

FYI – there were at least two basketball players cut that tried out and a few others who seen the writing on the wall and decided to concentrate on basketball. CCHS had tryouts last longer (# of days) than just about every other NKY school.

 

JV Team: 1 – 0 (beat Beechwood)

Freshman Team: 2 – 0 (beat Ryle and Dixie)

I have faith and confidence in the program and the players.

 

C Squared a question for you:

 

Is it true the head coach attended a regional basketball game instead of the last day for tryouts and has a pattern of attending the Sweet Sixteen tournament and cancels all weekend baseball practice on the eve of the start of season? Is this acceptable in your mind? Is it fair to the players? Is it a responsible action?

 

Is it true players have missed practices for strictly personal and convenient reasons?

 

Is it true some players took it upon themselves to hold their own practice because the varsity had none scheduled?

 

Is it true the coach has already stated this is his last year and has been quite clear in his negative opinions?

 

Is it true the assistant coach has been MIA from virtually day one and has been on a cruise or something? Add in the games but missed virtually all the practices?

 

Should the school, players and parents simply sit back and say this is all OK?

NO THEY SHOULD NOT!!!!

Why don't you ask the coach instead of post on this board?

There is nothing malicious asking questions and/or posting facts. It is done freely and fairly strong on student/athletes. It only gets testy when coaches or teachers are held to the same standard?! Not sure I get that one. The bottom line in my opinion people who are paid to do a job, any job have a responsibility to that job. To option out for something fun instead of doing the job is not responsible. There really is no explanation that should be given. It simply should not happen. In many places it is called respect for the program. When it starts like that everyone will fall in line with the respect. When it falls short of that the same consequence will happen. Frankly, teachcoach1 this is an excellent reason for this site to post what is expected and desired. And bottom line, the most important thing you state is kids playing sports, no question about that and those who are paid to do perform those coaching tasks have obligations to do just that. How can you call this malicious?

Great Job!!

Maybe the coach would be well served to take the effort and explain his lack of actions to everyone involved.:thumb:

(Is it true players have missed practices for strictly personal and convenient reasons?)

What defines a personal reason….Doctors appointments, eye exams, tutoring? If that is the case, then I would hope the coaching staffing would be understanding in those circumstances. Regarding convenient reasons I have no idea what you mean by this….could you elaborate???

 

(Is it true some players took it upon themselves to hold their own practice because the varsity had none scheduled?)

Players getting together and practicing on their own is great and I don’t see it as a negative. To me that shows their dedication and desire…..and it is my understanding it wasn’t the whole team, six players to be exact. The athlete that pushes themselves when no one is around to see them or give them praise tends to be the type of athletes that excel and make it to the next level. Again, I see this as a positive sign.

 

In reference to your other questions, directed to me; I suggest you go to the source just like OLD SODA stated in his reply. It seems you have all of these questions and concerns centered around the coach…..why not simply go to that person to resolve your issues/conflicts in lieu of posting them on this site??? If you truly want the answer why are you dancing around getting the answer…..might it simply be your best effort to stir the pot, to keep a dark cloud over the program….I truly hope not.

 

GREAT win for the CAMLES last night. Good all-around game by Woody. Still some mistakes are being made but it is early and with the limited amount of time on the “FIELD”, because of the weather, that can be expected.

I disagree with what you are writing and I will tell you why.

First…You state your intent is not malicious however is it fair to write “players are missing practice for personal and convenient reasons” as this type of statement unfairly lumps all players on the team in that category. As you and I both know players read the postings on this site….should they have to read things of this nature that are, well questioning their character and integrity? If you have this true and factual information why not list the player’s names and incidents your writing references. Oh, that is right that would be malicious. Your rhetoric is not fooling any one. It is quite clear you have an axe to grind with the coaching staff….again if your questions/concerns needed to be addressed in the urgent manner which your postings suggest why don’t you go to that source and have them addressed? I don’t understand your logic in getting the answers you seek.

Hearing there is a lot of un happy players, fans, and parents up in Camel Land, what is wrong with the team or what exactly is going on? I see they are at an 0-2 start against some good teams, but I have been hearing thats not at all what is making some upset?????

 

 

It's probably because they are not as good as they thought.:sssh:

Air, you sure take every opportunity to mention how good the Camels, (are not). Talk about an axe to grind, that one is about worn out. I am a hugh Camels fan, in every sport. I never want them to lose. This is high school sports, baseball for the boys right now. You are only as good as the team you field this year, in any sport. Be proud of your schools accomplishments, and I don't recall seeing anything on here, or any other thread, that seemed boastful from any Campbell Co. person

They said they should be ranked at the being of the year. That's all I'm saying.:scared:
