Thank you for reply. It's not about revenge or winning by run rules. I'd take a .500 season with wins and losses decided by 3 or less runs. I do plan on playing in tournaments were we'd be playing up and anytime we may ahead I'd practice class be not running up the score. These kids took a lot of lumps and worked hard to become better. They have a legitimate chance to compete against some of the best programs in our state and win or lose they earned it. There's 3 divisions we can play in and we've decided to play in the toughest against the best programs in or state. Big picture is I don't what these kids to peek at 12 and our varsity team hasn't had a winning season in over 30 years. I'm just trying to build a program from the ground up. Following kids from when their 8 until their young men when thier seniors. State titles, tournament championships are great but more importantly is if you truly want to succeed in life, or any other goals you set, hard work over time, educating yourself about what you want to achieve and bouncing back from setbacks can help you become anything you want. Not complaining about how other teams are bigger or the have more kids to pick from. Almost anybody can succeed with smart hard work and true dedication. Baseball is something I understand and I try to use it to do more than make good ball players but good well rounded young men who understand how they can achieve what they want in life.
