This is the way we did it at X 38 years ago when we started to get good. Started to get good is key there. For the summer, we lifted and conditioned three days a week starting one week after the summer started. Monday, Wednesday and Friday and we did all body parts each day. We had an early...

Elder's administration seems a lot more supportive than my beloved X guys and girls. But that is just from the outside looking in. Elder could be killing the golden goose too as I know.

Thank you, the seasons fly by

All depends on how long Steve can tolerate the X administration. Honestly, every year he comes back after his boys graduated is a surprise to me. Doesn't Moe have a new coach this year?

Saw him this year on TV. Very funny guy. He was awesome in the relay.

That is awesome for him! This post was for the 2020 (then 2021 games). For the 2024 cycle out of SWO, we have the great and humble Carson Foster winning some medals (and retaining his World record time due to a seriously slow pool). Out of Northen Kentucky, there is a young lady...

I hear you. This team has a handful of PO's and access to another age group team's pitchers if necessary. But yes 5 games in two days doesn't simulate reality in any way.

16u is about the time to go tourney only and/or round robin. I am starting to not like the tourney only concept because the weekend density of games is stupid. Today a friend of mine's team who runs a very respectable program just won a local tourney and played 5 games in two days. There is no...

Depends at what age group and don't forget the web page but for 13 and older SWOL doesn't offer much. I think there is some insurance included in the fee but I may be wrong. I often wonder why certain programs that are aligned don't create their own league. I still would not play in Knothole...

0 for 8 is as big a reason if not the biggest reason. This is a classic case of a championship being won by winning one game and we all know baseball can be a weird, funny game. Congrats to the Rams for representing once again.

It is not luck that they are good or a few talented classes. They work at all year long. And I am not being critical of your comment. I am just making a point that consistent success is a product of planned program management

Mason might be fine for the smaller divisions but D2 is just too much for them. Not enough seating for a big game. If they have trouble with somebody running the scoreboard, I will help. That situation should be managed by OHSAA. I do agree with the higher seed hosting but the reality is...

I agree. Mason is nice but Iam not sure it is even the nicest facility in the area. D2 Regional Championship games deserve a proper location. I was surprised that Miami University didn't get all the games. If you are playing a State Championship game at 10:00 AM (not good for high school...

I am hearing East is available

Finally! Dang these Comets don't believe in allowing runs to score. Between their pitching and defense, they just made it impossible to score. I felt like after they won that 1 to 0 semi, that this was going to be their year. That was the kind of game that always got them. Good for the...

Like the late great Glenn Frey used to say: "Excellence is not an accident." Badin and Mason playing in the state semi-finals is not lucky. These are programs not just teams that play together for 8 weeks in the Spring. They work at it all year around. Other coaches in SWO should take heed...

I have talked about my problems with the Mason coach in previous threads. I really appreciate his program management and player development. I question his game management in close meaningful games. But yes, I agree players need to make plays but goodness, Mason has been to this point a lot...

Good luck Mason. I sincerely hope they bring home the State Championship. Badin too.

That has been discussed on this board before I think one or 2 states already do it. My thought is to extend the season to the weekend of Memorial Day or thereabouts (till the 3rd week in May) then start the tourney after that. By the end of May over half the teams will be done anyway and the...

My concerns will be put to rest when the STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY comes home to Mason. When much is given, much is expected. Now quit almost doing it and do it. Call the Moeller coach if you need some advice.
