This can't be. We were told that FB Coach wanted a NT Titan coach b/c he sons play there.

Congrats on the job Coach Sykora and good luck next season.

Good luck to Dustin, no matter if that star player leaves or stays you have a great bunch of kids that enjoy playing baseball and thats what its all about.

Teach the game beyond the game and watch them grow. Its a short time.

Fdrill, You're a class act...Good luck.

Congratulations Coach Sykora - this is a well deserved promotion! I do have one question - why does everyone bank MHS Baseball's Season next year on one player only - Gill? There are alot of talented players at MHS. Did anyone keep stats on Gill during the season this year? Can anyone explain how all district players are selected?

Coaches nominate their players based on district stats and then the coaches vote. It's that simple. A coach can't vote for his own players. Are there politics and such on occasion? Certainly. Prior to voting, the coaches agree on "superlative" awards --- like District MVP, Most Valuable Pitcher, Best Defender, Newcomer of the Year, etc. In most cases, those that win the superlative awards are replaced on the 1st teams. If Gill made it for the 2010 season -- and I honestly don't remember if he did -- he was selected by the 6 district coaches, other than Art.

Michael Gill was 1st team all-district in 2010.

He was 2-0 in district and 4-0 in the playoffs.

Let me know if you need/want any more infomation.

funneldrill , we need more!! Are you taking him to Sherman with you!!!

As much as I'd like to, he's moving to North Carolina. So I guess I'll have to figure out how to coach without him.

Y ou know how to coach? I thought you just sat on the bucket and let Sykora do his job!! Who made the lineup, you are the players ?? Just Curious!!

Oh, most of the time I made the lineup but sometimes when funds were running low our booster club would hold a raffle to let people try and win a chance at making out the line up.

The best selling raffle was choosing the starting pitcher when MG was injured!!! It was funny how the same 3 or 4 parents would buy up all the tickets!!!

The best raffle seller was to decide whether we flipped for 1 or went 2 out of 3 in the Regional Semi-Finals. Those tickets sold like hot cakes!

I mean, isn't that what they do over there???

Hey that's just like over at FM, I still think that Matlock is still on the hook and texts the lineups to "whoever is in the 3rd base dugout".

Just kidding Longballs

Come on funneldrill - is it not time to let go? Marcus is in your rearview mirror - no need to be so petty.

PS the word on the street - Gill is not leaving afterall.

Get real...get a sense of humor

Get Real...Marcus is very much in my rear view mirror. After each of my statements I put a smilie which is usually an indicator of sarcasm.

Since you are a new member (apparently), you probably don't know the history between longballs and myself. I was just trying to have a little fun with him. I know that you can't really see sarcasm on a computer screen so I apologize.

As for "the player," I hope he stays. I still talk to those kids at Marcus and I hope they make the playoffs and win the state title next year.

Most likely developed from an English game called rounders, baseball was most definitely NOT made for kids.

Anyway, lighten up. Enough talent and kids go through that school to where they will be competitive every year. Just don't get to used to the runs the team has gone on the last two years. Not saying it can't be done, though.

You will be missed at Marcus FD- you were great with the kids - Coach Sykora will do very well no doubt and there is still alot of talent at Marcus - Good luck in Sherman!

baseball chick,

Thanks! I'm getting to meet a bunch of my Sherman kids since I'm coaching football. I used to think that only coaching baseball was the way to go. Now though, coaching football and being on the football staff I'm "one of the guys" in the coaches office. This was something I never was at Marcus. Oh well, you live and learn.

I will miss those kids coming back at Marcus and I agree, there is plenty of talent there and more on the way.

Hey Funneldrill you are eventually gonna have stay somewhere for awhile so you can hold a freshman job for me!!
