Carroll Co. Softball

[20ROOK]

What is wrong with Carroll Co's Softball? 2 wins in 2 years. Do any of the basketball players play softball?

Carroll Co is extremely young. They have been for the past few years. For some reason, as the girls get older, they don't play. They seem to have to rebuild every other year without graduating many seniors from their team. Coach Boles in my opinion is doing the things that it takes to get their team on the right track, it will just take a few years for these young girls to mature and develop the winning mentality

So none of the real good athletic basketball players play? Why not? Didn't a few of them play last year, then quit for some reason?

I think that Ballinger started to play and may have made it through the first couple of weeks of games until Western found out and asked her not to play. If I am right, she was doing it just for fun.

I thought Henderson started out playing then quit too.

Latasha Hunter (freshman) is a varsity basketball player and she also plays Softball. None of the other Varsity BB girls play. Most of them never have.

 

Ballinger and Henderson did start out last year but neither had played and did not stick with it.

 

Coach Boles is really working with the girls but it has not produced the results they want yet. If the current girls stick with it they will be pretty good in the next 2 years. I know they are working hard.

Feeder system not strong as most of our programs are feeling that. Girls hoops has the most active feeder program and you can see the positive impact. varsity coaches have to stimulate and work the feeder system(s)! Little league still plating slow pitch. Girls get older and priorities change.

How long has Boles been there?

I agree with the feeder program. The 10u parks and rec. league were coach pitching, at least 2 years ago they were. I don't know about now. Are there any 12u, 14u, 16u, or 18u summer teams from Carroll Co? I know Dennis Hawkins had a 12u team last year that were pretty good.

How long has Boles been there?

 

 

I believe this is his second year as Head Coach, He may have only been assistant Coach last year..but has been involved with the program for 2 years.

 

He is a very dedicated Coach and has a daughter that is on the team. I am hopeful that he will see good results. As far as our feeder system, It is the Varsity program..we have many 6th 7th and 8th graders working with the Varsity. Other than that there is not a lot of playing options.

It seems Carroll Co is like a lot of schools. They have a lot of good athletes that seem to lose interest in softball when they get into high school, or some that wait until their in high school to start playing. Hopeully the young players will stick with it.
