Help rename BC baseball field after Coach Young

[Guest Orangeboy]

That is a great pic of those two great men together.  Alot of fond memories came to mind seeing them on Saturday.  Still love just talking baseball with them.  Good luck to Coach Young in this years season,  would love to see him get to Austin another time.

Just goes to show you how difficult it is to get there. One of the greatest coaches ever, coaches over 40 years and has only gotten there once. I'm always rooting for Coach though.

Coach Young is one of those guys who doesn't need a list of state appearances to prove his worth in the coaching community.  As great a coach as he still is, his contributions are felt more off the field.

But your point is well taken.  There are a lot of great coaches out there who never get their shot at state.

If you get the time or chance go to the petition and read some of the signatures and comments, for me it brings back some great memories.

And For Coach Young ever kind word is well deserved.

How would you like to be on the school board that might not let this happen........might not be a fun place.

[redbirdbaseball]

I have a feeling the school board will do the right thing.

How many do you need??? jw

[redbirdbaseball]

We haven't established a concrete number, but with BC in the process of searching for a new superintendent, we have at least through the end of July to compile signatures before approaching the administration.

[redbirdbaseball]

Look for an article in the Penny Record in the coming weeks.

Almost to 200.

[redbirdbaseball]

Now at 205, please continue to support the movement.

[2throwrundown]

any word on when this might happen or how close it is to happening? Has the school board replied in any way? ???

[redbirdbaseball]

With BCISD in transition mode after losing its current superintendent, this petition is aimed at getting this done during the 2008 spring baseball season. 

Thank you to all who have signed the petition thus far, and we ask that you continue to help us spread the word.

Yeah, hopefully we can hit that 500 mark.

Thought I would get this some more support since he is headed to the state tourney. Kind of a neat deal that Coach Bryant and BC honored his first state team earlier this year.

For all you folks who remember Coach Young's "respect" for the baseball gods.....you have to read this!

After a valiant run to the state playoffs, Texas City ran out of steam in the semifinals.  What an amazing run by the Stings.  Let this be a reminder of Coach Young's endless string of accomplishments, and for anyone who has yet to sign our petition, please do so:

According to my family back in the Golden Triangle, the Penny Record published an article about our cause.  If anyone has online access to this article, please pass it along as I am unable to get my hands on the paper itself.

A big thanks goes out to the Penny Record for helping to keep the awareness up; we've seen a good spike in signatures since last night.

Thanks,

Maybe they should name it after Billy Bryant (LOL).  He must be a better coach since "HE" has already been to Austin more times than Coach Young
