One thing I've started seeing, and it seems to be with a preponderance of teams from outside of Indiana at travel games, is parents aggressively challenging almost every call that the umps make and starting early in pool play to set patterns of intimidation. Saw over the weekend where parents were sitting on the fenceline between home and the dugout ... and not in the bleachers ... and yelling about everything including where the umpire was standing in the field. The plate umpire finally had enough, ejected one of the people and called for a supervisor. From what I could hear of the discussion, it was apparent that this program had been doing the same thing the day before in pool play and it was just the one obnoxious parent ... it was programmatic. Sad thing is it was just an 11U game. Luckily I've only seen the item above, kids disrespecting the umps, a couple of times over the year, but I have noticed more and more kids talking back to their coaches or acting out during games and doing stuff like turning away from the coach when he's talking to them, talking back, throwing helmets, not giving the coach the ball when he comes to the mound to change pitchers, etc. I can't believe parents let their kids do that; especially in a game situation. My older boy was with me in the stands at the younger one's game one time when a kid on the opposing team started pulling some stuff like and yelling at his coach about being pulled from a game. didn't help that the parent was also yelling at the coach for "taking him out too soon." Realize that the kid had just given up his fifth consecutive hit in the inning and had already walked a couple of batters. I looked at my older boy and shook my head. He looked at me and said, "That wouldn't happen with us [he and his brother]. We'd be out in the car in the parking lot and getting ready for a long ride home and it would have nothing to do with the coach's decision." I told him, "D*mn right!" They both know, with a dad as a former coach, that my philosophy is you don't embarrass your coach in public and you don't challenge his calls. If you disagree, you, the player, schedules a meeting with him and go to his office or stay after practice, and discuss it with him as adults ... even my 11 year old. Parents need to be better so their kids can be better so the kind of stuff in your post don't start becoming acceptable behavior as they get older.

Hearing Chatard, Guerin and Mishawaka Marian are in same sectional. It’s a straight shot up US31.

My mistake. I apologize. I thought I was in the Head Coach topic. Carry on 🙂

💯 ( I think this is how the kids use this )

They had more swagger in the "good ole" days. That's the only difference I can see.

Published in July of 2021 from the NIH - Why is the WHO and the CDC still claiming this liver injury is a "Mystery"? THIS IS A SIDE EFFECT to the Phizer Covid vaccine in someone with comorbidities - Pure and simple. It's not that difficult to understand. FTA - Conclusions In summary, we presented a case of liver injury after the COVID-19 vaccine. We attributed the cause of liver injury to the COVID-19 vaccine, given no other cause in our patient after extensive work-up. There are reports of drug-induced liver injury and abnormal liver function analysis from the spontaneous reports from patients who received Pfizer/BioNTech BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in the UK. The purpose of this manuscript is to raise awareness of potential side effects; it should not alter the recommendation of healthcare providers regarding vaccinations. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8372667/#:~:text=Although it is rare with,mild elevation in the transaminases. Drug-induced hepatotoxicity leads to nearly 10% of all cases of acute hepatitis and more than 50% cases of liver failure [18]. It is one of the common reasons for the withdrawal of medications from the market and modification of use [19]. It can be either type A (predictable), dose-related and short latent period in days, or type B (idiosyncratic), dose-independent, unpredictable, and variable latency [20,21]. Based on population-based studies, drug-induced liver injury incidence varies between 13.9 and 19.1 cases per 100,000 people per year [22,23]. Patients have either hepatocellular injury (three times upper limit of transaminase in comparison to ALP), cholestatic injury (three times increase in ALP comparison to transaminase), or mixed pattern (where both ALP and aminotransferase are three times upper limit) [24-26]. Most patients improve spontaneously after the removal of the offending drug. If acute liver failure (ALF) is suspected, early liver transplant referral is important due to high ALF mortality [25,27]. From the spontaneous reports from patients who received Pfizer/BioNTech BNT162b2 mRNA in the UK between 9/12/20 and 26/05/2021, there are reports of 45 patients having abnormal liver function analysis and three patients having drug-induced liver injury [28]. In this case, the review of medications and history did not reveal any other reason for hepatotoxicity. She also denied the use of any over-the-counter medications or supplements. Although it is rare with vaccination, the COVID-19 vaccine is likely the cause of hepatotoxicity in our patient based on a diagnosis of exclusion. In this case, the patient had a cholestatic pattern with elevated ALP and bilirubin with mild elevation in the transaminases. Pfizer/BioNTech BNT162b2 mRNA trial included only 0.6% (217/37,706) patients with liver disease. Among patients with liver disease, 214 were with mild liver disease and only three with moderate to severe liver disease. This patient has underlying fatty liver disease. It is unclear if that was a likely risk factor for hepatotoxicity in this case [5]. Although only a small number were included in trials for Pfizer/BioNTech BNT162b2 mRNA, Moderna mRNA-1273, and the AstraZeneca/University of Oxford ChAdOx1-nCoV-19 chimpanzee adenovirus vector vaccine, both the American Association for Study of Liver Diseases and European Association for the Study of Liver recommend vaccination against SARS-COV-2 with these highly effective and safe vaccines, given a greater risk of health consequences from SARS-COV-2 infection in these patients [29,30]. Hepatotoxicity can occur with vaccines, even though it is more common with prescription and nonprescription drugs. So, the clinician should be watchful in patients showing clinical signs and symptoms after a vaccine. Go to: Conclusions In summary, we presented a case of liver injury after the COVID-19 vaccine.

You're fine. I made the comment because several years ago there was controversy, involving Coach Burgess and Coach Barr, in which Barr was barely voted in by the school board due to several school board members wanting Burgess to be the next head coach. Then there was controversy when Barr was fired as well.

Any idea what the school board vote was?

Any bets on who wins the Class 3A title next season?

so you are going to hire a coach because his sons are supposed to be the second coming... wow, they must be phenomenal athletes... i was once told potential does not mean a damn thing without heart...

Hit a nerve didn't I? Put your name with your language. If not, keep hiding and STFU.

But wait. There’s more… Still waiting on you folks to wake up. And it’s football related. Would get Zucked on other threads.

Then reinstate his comment.
