Stats are a big thing. I believe that coaches are padding stats at the end of the season in order to get their players honors. Why else not publish them?? C'mon everyone in your district knows who the better hitters are already so theres nothing to keep concealed. How cool would it be if Stats from the state were published all year?? You would have to have mandatory time limit to enter each box score...so opposing team could have a chance to rebut if scoring got out of hand. Not really that difficult, but would sure eliminate cheating.
I seriously question the integrity of any coach who would object to doing this.
