If you are the parent who claps and cheers when your child has a successful play/game, but sit there like you are in a coma when their teammates have that same success..shame on you. Coaches see it, players see it, faculty sees it. Your child can't be a team player if YOU aren't!

Fall sports could be at stake today.
Athletes, coaches, schools have done as asked.
National cases have been in a steady decline for weeks.
Kentucky under 5% positivity rate.
Hospitals are not overwhelmed. More testing than ever before. We have done our part.

This may be one of the most significant single season turnarounds I have seen in the region in a while. Greenup, now 3-0, goes ON THE ROAD and defeats Lawrence County 17-14. Greenup was WINLESS last year. Unreal defensive effort from Greenup. Just a great win. Congrats!

Unpopular Opinion:
Some of these parents are straight up whack jobs. I mean straight up nuts in our region!
Quit screaming at refs, quit slamming coaches, and STOP only clapping and cheering for YOUR KID.

Thought:
Football coaches get a 10-game reg. season. Basketball and baseball play 50 games a year it seems with reg season, AAU, travel ball, etc.
If you have a multi-sport athlete on your team with the guts to step on a football field, don't punish them for missing "open gyms".

I hate to be that guy but....
Watching a lot of local baseball/softball games and the stat logging is killing me.
Guy on 1st, 1 out. Batter hits a ground ball to 2nd. Runner out at 2nd on fielder's choice. Batter is safe on 1st.
That is NOT a hit for the batter.

To clear things up:
I make no money doing this.
I have no sponsorships.
I have a career, this is a hobby.
I work for no school system.
I’m not a coach.
I’m not a referee.
I’m not a player parent.

I am a big believer that there are so many kids in our region who would be good/great baseball/softball players, but the cost keeps so many kids away. The expenses are insane. Bats, cleats, batting gloves, batting helmets, etc.

Guys I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but bragging about 7v7 stats and wins is not a good thing. No pressure on QB, receivers have zero fear of being hit, it’s in no way indicative of how good of a true football team you are. 7v7 is fun, but let’s not get carried away…

Someone told me today they were holding back their son, an A grade student, so they could score 1000 points in their basketball career. The kid doesn't want to be held back.
That is it. The only reason. Dad wants son to achieve the glory Dad seeks.
Don't like the COVID rule.

After being at several 🏀 scrimmages over the past 10 days or so, I cannot believe the stuff I hear in the stands. This tweet is 100% on the money. Most parents trash talking their kids TEAMMATES and not the opposing teams. It is unreal.
Imagine being a kid playing sports watching your mom & dad talk bad about your friends but when they see them they hug em & tell them good job and all that then get in the car and bash em again 😂😂😂 Y’all wonder why these kids grow up confused, fake & grimy tho.
