It is a shame that this thread has taken a turn for the worse with a couple of sour apples from South. There is absolutely no need to direct comments at a certain student-athlete by name that is just crossing the line. South is 2-0 and beat Minerva and Lake and people are complaining that it is not enough? A shutout pitching performance over Lake does not happen by mistake. Those two programs have historically been solid programs as has South in the past. I thought it would take awhile for South to mesh but it does not surprise me now that I know who is coaching them. I coached a couple of years against David Greene in the youth league and he always fielded a solid team. I imagine someone will allude to it being youth ball, but the bottom line is he knows the fundamentals and is "baseball" smart so it equates well to the high school field as well. I don't agree with hiring parents to coach but I would not have a problem with Greene coaching my daughter whatsoever if she went to South. You people need to realize also that those seniors are probably enjoying playing another sport together before they graduate and it should be no problem that they are playing and making South a more competitve team this year. It sounds to me like a couple of people have a problem with these players taking playing time away from their kids, and knowing the talent level of these seniors the coach is justified in playing them over someone who was there last year. There is competition in sports and the last time I checked they keep score so a coach will more than likely play the best nine to compete. I would also like to mention that I coached against Karen Clapper in the youth league as well and have as much respect for her as I do David Greene.
Canton south lost to Marlington. Gorman is a great player must run in the family her brother was a monster to and a class act . South is not a good team or coached very well Alliance and the leps will be the teams to beat .
South jumped out to a 3-0 lead and were winning, 5-4, going into the bottom of the 5th, changed pitchers and ended up losing in an extra inning. Marlington did not dominate the game. Very nice job for a first year team and coach.Gorman is a very nice player too.
And congrats to Schneider on her HR. It wasn't in the Rep today. :-(
No one said they dominated them please don't put words in my mouth .I watch alot of softball and I said what I thought you know this is still a place we can do that ........ South is not a good team and he is not a good coach Im sure there all great people but Im talking softball . Please just wait till you play Alliance and louis. Then put words in my mouth Thanks
Do you people join just to talk about yourself the only posts you have since you joined is to take up for canton south we all get it . People talk about all sports its nothing about what kind of people they are its about how they are doing in that sport . I play golf alot Im terrible that don't make me a bad guy .Greene may be a bad coach and a great guy ? On a good note the jv team is unbeaten anyway great game Marlington .
You hate CS already...we get it. And certainly didn't join to bash young student-athletes and particular softball programs. You have a player on the CS JV team?
No one put words in your mouth. And it's not all about winning the NBC. CS is a young team. Cut them some slack.

This is a softball thread, why else would people post here! It's not to talk about all sports. The purpose is to talk the game, not disrepect individual players and coaches. It is obvious you don't like South. If your favorite team is Marlington why not talk about them? Why should you care about the quality of South's coach!?...... Speaking of talking, maybe you should have gone to Canton South. You might have learned better grammar. Your run-on sentences make very little sense.
Young your 3rd baseman shortstop 2nd baseman are sen . 1st and both pitchers our jun as far as I know the catcher is the only soph and there are a couple sen that play outfield . Your funny
If you're going to post about South, get your facts straight. Two players on the current team played last year together. The rest of the team is new, regardless what grades they are in. Several are returning to the game after three or more years out for various reasons. The starting pitcher never thought she'd play again after tearing a ligament in her right hand before her freshman season started. The team never played together before their first scrimmage, although the majority of the players between varsity and JV have years of travel ball experience. The Board declined to renew the previous coach's contract last fall and had to fill the position, so the team had no opportunity to play indoor with each other over the winter like they will this summer and winter. Regardless your personal bone to pick with a school, an AD, a coach, someone posting on this thread, the continuous attacking is just uncalled for. And absolutely no student athlete should be criticized the way it has been done here.
Stop crying everyone thinks south has tallent its the coach everyone I talk to has a problem with . Its the first time alot of the girls played together on alot of these teams its the coaches job to make things come together. If its the first time they played in years why they on the varcity ? Im done with CS comments good luck to all the teams in the NBC ...
I think Louisville will take it again this year. Alliance is strong defensively but they're not the strongest offensively! Louisville isn't to strong offensively either. Just live off the plate with both teams. Lay off the junk and the Leapords are definately beatable, Flanagain livessss on the Rise ball and outside corner!
Lady Leps blank Marlington 10-0 in 5. Would have been 11-0 but 3-run jack by Chandler Rice only counts for 2. Rice hit 2 on the day.
Flanigan on the mound, may have pitched a 1-hitter, not sure on that yet.
EDIT: OK, now I'm second guessing myself: since she hit it over the fence to end the game, is the final score 11-0?
