This is really a big frustration for the players and the parents. I think it happens at more schools than you would think. I have not only been wondering about HF softball but also what is up with Silsbee softball. They have a lot of talent on that team but are barely going to make the playoffs. I know catcher got hurt at start of year, but surely one player didn't make that big of difference. HF, Silsbee, Dayton maybe all have the same problem (coaching?) not sure. The coach has to bring the TEAM together. If they don't play as team and believe in each other they won't do well. In Silsbee's case why just settle for making playoffs when you have the talent to be District Champs! Maybe the coaches think they are making the best decisions for the team but if it doesn't seem to be working maybe need to take a step back, evaluate, and try something different.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU!!!
