OCTOBER / NOVEMBER 2008

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 2008

It’s been a very busy week at school with final exams and reviews going on, but now that finals have begun, it has eased up quite a bit (because of exemptions for seniors). If I see another research project, I might just gag on it!! LOL!!

 

Friday will be the last email of 2008. We will begin posting again on Monday, January 5th.

 

Also, it isn’t too late to sign up for the 5th annual Gulf Coast Softball Clinic and the Frisco Clinic which are both in January. If you are planning to come to the Gulf Coast Clinic and your name hasn’t shown up on the registered list on www.texasprepsoftball.net, send me an email with the coaches coming and their t-shirt sizes, and I’ll get you registered.  To contact the Frisco Clinic, contact Max Bledsoe at BledsoeM@friscoisd.org

TEXAS PREP SOFTBALL WEBSITE:

I have been converting the www.texasprepsoftball.net website over the past few days to a more attractive and a more modern website. I have been using Front Page 2000 for the past several years and since that program is almost 9 years old, it won’t let me do many of the new items that are now available on the internet. The new Joomla softball gives me more flexibility to add items to the website. There are still many things I need to do, but everything that we had before, is still available on the new website, so there will be some construction in the next couple of weeks. I also used it on my school webpage www.amctigersoftball.com. I hope everyone likes the new format!

I wanted to share with everyone the new facilities we have at The Hall of Fame Fastpitch Ballpark in Old Settler's Park.

The park includes 10 fields, four batting cages, digital tourney brackets at all kiosk centers, nice bathrooms,  concession stands, and wireless scorekeeping. All fields are equipped with a designated warm-up area and pitcher's pull pens. I believe everyone who attends will be very pleased with the facilites!

More relatives coaching with/against each other:

I am still getting emails on this topic and it is amazing how many of us have relatives (husbands, wives, parents, brothers, sisters, children) who are now in coaching either with or against each other. I am really enjoying reading your emails. Here are some more:

  • Shiner softball coach Brandon Siegel’s wife Cari Lynn coaches with him for the Lady Comanches.

  • Clear Brook coach Ashley Pillow’s husband is the head boys BB coach at the same school for the Wolverines.

  • Spring head coach Julie Wyrick and her sister, Waller head coach, Cheryl have coached against each other. When Cheryl coached her very first high school game at Houston Westside, it was against Spring and her older sister. Spring won.

More Families Coaching Together:

I didn’t mention the wife/husband teams who are coaching together who are on our list. I was reminded of that yesterday too. Some that I know of are Shelly and Stephen Murphy of West Columbia, Barbara and Beau Burnett of Seymour, and Wayne and Lisa Daigle of Smithson Valley . Wade Womack of Medina Valley said that he met his wife coaching against her in basketball and he is 0-2 against her. I think he is lucky that she let him ask her out!! LOL

 

Keep sending me the nice stories of families coaching softball together. I am enjoying the responses!!!

 

Have a great weekend!

Not many openings today.  Again I thought it was interesting to read some of your emails about families that are coaching together and/or against each other. Here are some of our family coaching connections in softball:

  • Amber Meier ( Texas City ) and her younger sister (Annie) have been coaching together for the past 3 seasons.

  • Amie Kirkpatrick at Kennedale and Dee Dee Kirkpatrick at Lake Worth  are sisters, 17 months apart, and Dee Dee was Amie’s assistant for 2 years. They also played at Kennedale together (Amie 96-99 and Dee Dee 97-00) and at Tarleton.

  • Jonathan Rogers ( South Grand Prairie ) has hired his father as his varsity assistant this year. Mike Rogers was the Head Girls Basketball Coach at South Grand Prairie for 13 years and the Head Men's Basketball Coach for 9, racking up almost 488 wins.  ”He hired me as his Freshman Boy's Coach 6 years ago and when I became the Head Softball coach this year I brought him out of coaching retirement to be my varsity assistant.  It is nice to know that when you have a question about your program that you have 28 years and 488 wins of head coaching experience to bounce stuff off of. “  Also, his sister, Jessica Rogers is the assistant at St. Edwards University in Austin .  “Softball has truly become part of our family.”

Welcome:

Spanky Broussard – Fort Bend Marshall

Kelly Wroblewski – Austin Lanier

 

Pitching Distance Poll and Discussion:

After my last email, I received some good comments from you on both sides of the issue of the pitching distance staying at 40’ or moving to 43’. This issue has been coming up each year and probably will continue to come up as long as there are those who are passionate on the issue from both sides of the fence. On the forum page of www.texasprepsoftball.net, I started a thread called “Pitching Distance Revisited,” where members of the forum can vote and post their thoughts on the matter.

 

I encourage you to come to the forum to discuss and read the discussion and vote. The TGCA softball committee chairperson, Coach Sorensen of Baytown Sterling, had a very good post on the topic last night, with insight from Mr. Tipton of the TGCA. I believe that the TGCA and the TFCA are all wanting the result of the debate to be something that will be for the good of the game. Both organizations may be separately discussing the issues right now, but I think that the goal for both are the same and will support each other in the long run.

 

Coach Sorensen and I both agree that we will all support what the clear majority wants to do in the matter, but ultimately, it will come down to what the NFHS wants to do, no matter what we want in Texas. We were all taken by surprise by the metal cleats rule and I personally didn’t like it at first, but now I am very happy that we have the rule in place.

 

To vote and post, go to www.texasprepsoftball.net and click “NEW FORUMS.” You will be taken to the new forums. Click on REGISTER near the top right of the page, and it will take you through the short registration process. When you click, “SUBMIT,” you will have an email sent to you with a registration link.

 

When you get your email, click on the 2nd link that says to make your account active, click here, and once you do that, you will be taken back to the site and you can post away. I have to do it this way to keep the spammers off of the website.

 

Thanks for your input in advance! BH

Welcome:

Randy Hynson – Dumas

 

UIL LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL MEETING RESULTS FOR SOFTBALL:

I attended the UIL Legislative Council meeting on Sunday as a representative of the TFCA and also Coach Wes Overton was there as a member of the Executive Committee of the TGCA. Neither one of us spoke in the public hearing, but we were both able to observe the activities of the UIL.

 

Approved in the Athletic Committee meeting on Sunday, and to be approved at the General meeting on Monday (I was back at school) were two items that concern softball.

 

  1. Softball will get the two extra days of practice on the Friday & Saturday preceding the current beginning of practice date to use as evaluation and/or tryout time like baseball. We are not required to use those dates, but they will be available for us if we so desire. This will be available in the 2010 Season.

  2. There was some language in the C&CR, Section 1204, concerning umpire fee which was written incorrectly and caused confusion and made some chapters very upset because they would actually make less when they were supposed to make more. This was an emergency measure and will be in effect immediately. I will let the UIL send out the actual new wording of the pay scale.

 

Also, the superintendent from Barbers Hill ISD did question Mr. Tipton and the UIL staff as to why the pitching distance is not the same as college at 43 feet. It was explained to him by Dr. Breithaupt and Peter Contreras that this is a National Federation rule and we have to follow those rules.  I did talk to him and he is very much in favor of moving the distance, but I also told him of the surveys that do not show the coaches in clear favor of moving the distance. I am in favor of moving the distance, but I will represent the view of the clear majority of the coaches, which there is not a clear majority either way.

I still need 2 dates filled for JV 2 games on February 16th and February 23rd if anyone has any openings.

UIL Legislative Council Meeting this weekend

I will be attending the UIL Legislative Council Meeting on Sunday and Monday in Austin to observe alongside the director of the baseball coaches association who also still teaches part time at my school. There is a softball issue up for a vote concerning adding two extra days at the beginning of our practice season in order to conduct tryouts. I will not be speaking on this issue, but will report on the debate (if there is any) on my blog on the www.texasprepsoftball.net website. I have attached the proposal to this email. 

PROPOSAL

 

TFCA Membership

I will be sending out membership cards and receipts to those who have sent me a membership form on Monday for the 2009 season. You can go to www.tfcasoftball.com for a membership form if you would still like to join.

 

SOUTH HOUSTON HS LOOKING FOR TURF IDEAS
Coaches,
My name is Jonathan Garcia and I am the new Head Softball Coach at South Houston High School .
I am trying to find some new roll on turf that I can put in my batting cage and was wondering who I should go through to purchase that.  Do any of you suggest any of you coaches recommend any particular vendor?  Are any of you getting rid of any old turf as that would also help?  Thanks a lot for you help.

1.      Bonham HS Players injured in accident.

Several Bonham HS players were involved in an accident over the weekend. Chris Hill, head coach, has sent Jeff Lemons an update on the conditions of the players that were involved. Please pray for the players, their families, and the softball program at Bonham HS. Chris’s email is chris.hill@bonhamisd.org. Below is her update on the players.

4 of them have come home and 2 are in the hospital.  3 of them had lots of scrapes, bruises, stitches,and staples......they still haven't come back to school.  1 girl had neck surgery on Monday---she had 3 plates put in her 4th, 5th, and 6th vertebrae's......and she got to come home yesterday.  1 girl had a major concussion and she is still in the hospital, but should get to come home today or tomorrow.  1 girl had hip surgery, she broke her hip and crushed some vertebrae's in her back, along with ribs, and spleen and kidney are ripped.  She will be in the hospital for a few more days.  Thank you so much!

2. Request from Bridge City HS softball after the destruction of their facilities by Hurricane Ike:

Coach Hicks,

 

I am wondering if you could put on your website that BRIDGE CITY SOFTBALL is in need of EVERYTHING.  The storage building that the softball equipment was in received about 6 foot of water in it.  Therefore, just about everything is RUINED.  I am in great need of anything that I can receive from others.  Please pass this along and anything donated would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

3. WEATHERFORD HS – Head Varsity Softball Coach Position OPEN

I am contacted you so that you might inform the High School Softball Community of the vacant Head Softball Coaching position at Weatherford High School in Weatherford Texas.  We have seven returning starters off of a regional finals team a year ago.  Right now I am being held to the teaching field of Math and possibly English.  I would also be interested in talking to a person who is retired with 25+ years of experience to just coach the team (in accordance to UIL rules) during the athletic period and after school (when the season starts).  If you know of anyone who has the credentials listed and is interested, I can be reached by any of the methods listed below.

 

 Thanks for any assistance you may be able to provide.

Respectfully,

Philip O’Neal

Executive Director of Athletics

4. NFCA High School Representative Information

Laneigh Clark from Pearland High School has written the following information:

I hope all is well with you. I wanted to let you know so you can let other NFCA members know that I am up for High School Rep for the NFCA.  Wade Wilson, from Brenham, currrently held this position and now his term is up and I am running for it.  I need everyone in Texas that is a NFCA member to vote so we can keep this position owned by Texans.  Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.
