Lets get Ready to play some ball.

Dear Players, Parents and Supporters of Lady eagles Softball,

Hopefull you have heard the news, LADY EAGLES SOFTBALL has a new coach and I am very excited to have the opportunity.I have been in the program for 17 years as either a head coach of junior varsity or as a varsity assistant under Todd hunley and Robin Walls. I am very excited to serve as the head coach of an already successful program here at FCHS. I would first like to thank God for blessing me with this opportunity and the high school administration and school board for selecting me. Secondly thanks to my wife Amy, my 5 kids (Caleb, Delaney, Easton, Grayson,and Houston and my parents who will now spend even more time babysitting for me to pursue a life long dream of being a head coach. As far as coaches go, I am still working to get my staff together. I hope to keep some of the coaches that are already familiar with the program. My sister, Betsy Hill will definitely be my assistant just not sure how and where the other coaches that are already in the program will fit in. I see this not as a coaching position but an extension of my teaching, in which my classroom no longer has walls, computers and activboards but fences, dirt, bats and balls. I plan to coach as I teach: helping every student/player achieve their best and making every student /player fell as important as any other student or player in the classroom/team. My goal is not only to win, but also to motivate, teach and guide these young ladies to become everything that they want to be. As for off season workouts, I plan to hold a meeting with all interested young ladies at both the high school on October 20 from 8 til 8:30 in the central gym classroom and the middle school as soon as possible and take advantage of the great weather we are having. We will begin off season conditioning November 3. More details will be given to players at the meeting on Monday Ocotber 20 and the booster club meeting on October 29. I also plan to get more community involvement by hosting some off season clinics for various age groups and their parents so we can start speaking the same language at all levels to make our already successful program even better. Even though our season seems a long time away I just want to invite all Franklin County out to the ball park. Come watch and support Lady Eagles softball as I promise these young ladies will be talented and fun to watch.
