Probably doing a CVH/Villa, get a year of varsity experience in as an 8th Grader. Beechwood is a lot less expensive than Villa. ( I know CVH did not attend Villa). I think I saw the old Holy Cross bus at Beechwood, with Erik Goetz be hind the wheel.

Great to hear from Mike Yeagle!!!!! Typical Mike all about the kids! One of a kind. @theguru were you there?

So is Jefferson at Beechwood another case like Von Handorf at Villa. I would think that with what Beechwood has in the way of varsity players would definitely open up varsity time for Jefferson, a lot of varsity time. They have to be looking for a scorer with Jacob Huff gone to graduation.

whose the coach?

Have to agree with Hellbird, always thought the old one was to busy. Like the new one, it will look more uniform for all sports.

Didn't both start last year? There is no glory or hope of glory at Beechwood playing basketball.

Lots of basketball camps that week also.

I feel really bad for Coach Schrand My first thought, that would really be a low blow and I would be really disappointed in Holy Cross.

It's summer a lot f the same on every bench! You may be over thinking this.

Who said he was only available for 4 innings? No one! You read what you wanted so you could agree with your tiger friend. Poor planning, you sure don't know Pat Ryan! I'm sure you would have done it different. Second guessing coaches seems to be a hobby of yours, Football, Basketball and now Baseball you couldn't be a coach your way to smart.

Maybe Pat Ryan's million years of baseball and coaching experience should be questioned by every parent or fan of an opposing team. I'm sure Pat did what he did to put his team in the best position to win. He almost pulled it off. Congratulations Pat and the Indians.

What does he teach?

You need to respect your leader,not necessarily like them. That got lost at Ashland. Parents need to be respected not necessarily liked, you do not need to be your kids best friend. My generation of parents for some reason did not raise great parents. I say it again, if the coach is not abusive or lying to your kid you need to support them both and not trying to pacifie your kid.

Why would I lie! Open up the shades! Everyone knows your a Dixie guy. I stand by what I say. I even have more details of the event, Dave should remember. He got busted for his juvenile comments at that time. Done and Done

I once sat by Dave at a CovCath Freshman game and the conversation he was having with his daughter was not very ambassador like. Reason being was he was making fun of the abilities of the other team and their coach. So don't color me a fan of Dave's. Your previous association with the Blue Colonels allows you only to see the sunny side of TOG.

You got it! I think (opinion) he had a hard time accepting the fact that other people thought there could be good kids other places.

I am not a Mason Co fan! I must have read it wrong, as did others!

A very out of character post for you Goldie! Do you have a personal issue with Biggs? You certainly aren't looking at the big picture on Buddy.

Didn't two kids from Eastern sign D1?

Why would you fire a coach and then hire one of his assistants.

As far as the player, you are absolutely correct. Most parents do not know where the marginal line is. As far as the coach, marginal as far as trying to build a program and setting a standard for acceptable behavior. Like it or not you kid does bring your attitude with them to the team. The best thing to is keep your mouth shut. Support your kids and their coaches. Most important keep your opinions to yourself in public. Kids do get cut because of their parents,be it Mom or Dad, if you see your kid getting very little playing time in summer it maybe a message that you need to support your kid's coach. The mortal sin of coaching is when a coach is lying to your kid. Then all is fair!

Does your son take your attitude to the team with him?

...which you are not. Do you cut a kid whose parent has been mouthing off about the coaching staff? There has always been parents criticizing coaches in the stands and to there friends and to their kids. Now with social media and people hiding behind fictional names (they think), is it just not worth the time to dig through the muck to get their kid on board.

Is it true that one of the big 4 players at Beechwood has already informed the coaches he is not playing in the fall?

.....unless it is an assistant, schools like Mason County have a plan. This was no surprise, so my guess is they have a plan A and plan B.
