Congrats to Coach Alex Kotheimer, son of Cabbagedad (which I guess makes him Cabbageson) for being voted Coach of the Year in the Valley League for 2018. Southern Division Champ Covington got knocked out of the playoffs last night by Charlottesville-due to the continuing rains in Virginia, the semi-finals were changed to a one game winner take all affair and they fell to Charlottesville, 7-6. Covington had its best season in many years and from personal observation, Alex did a super job. He's very personable, certainly a "player's coach", and has a bright future. It was great meeting him (another of several HSBaseballweb connections through the years) and he just comes across as a great guy, with "successful coach/great recruiter" written all over him. As for the rain, lawns and baseball fields across the Commonwealth look like early spring (We watered our infield exactly once all summer long). Great job Alex!
