Ditto................most kids and parents (me included) do not realize just how special high school sports are until it is over.

It ain't clever either

[quote name="Hardworker" post="1000825" timestamp="1303407304"] I just hope you forum readers know that BOHICAA5581 (and his fence lining buddies) don't represent all of Crosby!!!! [/quote]I've seen guys like him every year---from t-ball on up. They run their mouths, think their kid is the only one who can play, runs down other players and their parents, and sucks up to the coaching staff. In the end just bitter and lonely people. I know he does not represent Crosby fans---quite the opposite.

I am an outsider as well-no dog in the fight--Rupp is the real deal

Are you f-ing serious. A monkey could coach GCM, they are that stacked and talented. You have 2 premier pitchers, an all state CF, a 1B man that not only has the heart of a champion but the tenacity of a lion (love ya D), a SS that could someday be in the bigs, and not to mention a converted outfielder that was a catcher that is lights out. Give me and every intelligent individual thats reads you rhetoric a break. Crosby on the other hand has a make shift bunch of scrubs. Kinda like when Walter Matthau took the BAD NEWS BEARS to the dome and Kelly, Tatum and the boys beat the dreaded Yankees... just bring the "A" game tomorrow and let nature take its course, kinda like the way the unicorns became extinct you jackhole....    [/quote]GCM coaches are far superior---no doubt about it---and I didn't even resort to namecalling

THE KEY THING IS REST AFTER..... There are things a kid can do to prevent injury... ice and run.... these will get the acidity out of his muscle that causes damage... [size=14pt]As for College, what do you think a college pitcher does.... he pitches every day... even if his arm is hurting.  30-60 pitches even after he has pitched the night before... It builds arm strength[/size]I have heard someone mention the pros watching when pitchers reach 100.... yes they do but it has to do more with being ineffective against the best hitters more than arm worries.... Now, after everything I have read I have not seen one person bring up the REAL problem why young pitchers are getting hurt or having arm problems… It has nothing to do with the coach… Some of you may not want to hear it…… But here it is……   YEAR ROUND SELECT BASEBALL!!!  Kids pitch year round and the arm needs to rest… They are throwing breaking balls, sliders, split fingers.. etc… before their arms have developed…  I have spoken to numerous of doctors and they said they love year round baseball because their Tommy John surgery has increased by 1500% since year round select baseball was invented.  Instead of doing one a week, they are doing about 12-15..  Some doctors have given up their  practice and just started doing this surgery alone…Some kids have had 2-3 surgeries before the even reach high school… If you want to blame the coaches for your sons arm problem go right ahead…. But the real problem is the parents for enrolling their child in year round baseball… [/quote] Not sure where you pitched in college, but when I did no coach ever promoted throwing everyday, and certainly did not have us throw when our arm was hurting.   Are you sure it's 120 pitches? earlier you said it was 110 pitches?  I think it is all relative to a variety of situations and should never be taken lightly!!!! As for select, thats why you dont sign your kid up for select and allow the same thing to happen there, you evaluate the coaches and the way they handle your child in his best interest.  There is nothing wrong with playing select, tournament or off season baseball as long as you are doing what is in the best interest of your child.  Health first, I would be willing to bet that more kids are having surgeries due to bad technique and yes parents allowing their own kids to throw pitches that their bodies have not developed enough to throw yet.   [/quote]I said a coach needs to be aware when they hit 100-110.  In my mind a coach need to pull him when he reaches 120. and it also depends on the kid when to pull him... and go watch a Lamar practice and see how much a pitcher throws... it may not be from the mound, but one knee down against a hanging mat with spots on it they do throw againt almost every day if they are not pitching that day.. [/quote]I do not blame our high school coaches and I sure don't blame select ball--at least not in our case. Frank played for Kyle Chapman and was limited to 4 innings per week. Once while throwing a perfect game he asked to stay in and was told no. I guess it just depends on who your kid plays for. I also did not let him throw a real curve until he was 15. Until then only cut fastballs and old fashioned palm-balls along with the fastball. Injuries happen and we can piss and moan about it or work hard and get back on the horse. All I am saying is that sometimes folks worry more about winning than anything else-AND THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY LEVEL. And when it does it puts the kid, the parent, and the coach in a bad spot.

Congrats to Colby. The kid has a great bat.

I agree and we have a good one in our district. This is just a tough one for most folks to handle.

It is a rare AD that does not back his coach 100%.

This is a tough topic. Most parents do not want to get between a coach and a kid. The coach wants to win. The kid has dreamed of playing for his home town since he has very young and realized that he could pitch pretty well. But------------------the parent is still the parent and if you have to ruffle some feathers then try to do it discreetly. Most coaches are reasonable people and will listen to your concerns and try to address them. I do not have an answer for those that won't----and that is the problem.

While I don't care to elaborate as to what caused Smesny's injury I will give an update since his name has been mentioned. Frank has been medically released and is about 85% finished with rehab. He is throwing on the mound again, progressing rapidly, and will pitch with Kyle Chapman this summer and see where it goes.

That is quite a stretch considering how the Broncos have "throttled" y'all the last few years

[quote name="rollinac" post="967721" timestamp="1297959138"] Diamond I sure hope you're right and that he will do fine.  I just have to agree that the microscope is definitely on as we Dayton fans have become spoiled....whether you like it or not or if it's fair or not.  [/quote]I understand---but the board will not flinch if he stumbles. There will be an adjustment period as everyone learns how he operates. In short the Broncos are in good hands.

[quote name="Yearof thePat!" post="967607" timestamp="1297948196"] Nice article in the Barbers Hill Sun this morning. But come on coach, Under Armour jacket with Reebok pants? :) I will say that I do not envy the man that follows Coach Stewart. The microscope is offically on. [/quote]Coach Hancock has 18 years of being mentored by great coach---he will do fine.

Tune in to KSHN 99.9 FM at 9:00 AM for an informative live Bronco show--announcements forthcoming

[quote name="EAGLE07" post="956061" timestamp="1296171385"] The Grand Jury in Monroe, La  issued a true no-bill this afternoon in the "alleged" aggravated rape case involving Kendall Thamm from Barbers Hill and teammate Shelby Aulds of West Monroe, LA. Supposedly this girl was also involved in a similiar case in Texas that also was dismissed. Amazing. I would like to thank all of you that believed and supported me, my son , and his family during this nightmare. There were plenty of you. There are many great people on SETXSPORTS. God bless everyone of you ! [/quote]Never had a doubt---glad it is over for both of you!!

Why is he yelling at coach wood? Because the secondary is out of position. Yeah we can say it is the players but year after year the secondary is the weakest point on our team. That you can not blame on the players. Dayton has had the talent and will continue to have the talent in the secondary, but without a coach to coach this talent we will continue to get exposed. i appreciate what coach wood does off the field but he is not HC material!! DO you really want Coach Wood to follow the legacy of Coach Stewart? Answer that one honestly. 92 needed someone like Coach Wood so he could have been successful or at least able to play.
