I dealt with a couple of those parents this weekend!

Just leaving this here for more evidence.

Ought to be mandatory for every parent with a kid on the team. Unfortunately, that will result in a significant decrease in all those omnipresent videos of some fat Coach bullying a 14 yr. old kid over a checked swing call… if you like that sort of thing.

I’ve been a licensed IHSAA Basketball Official for eight years. I think I do a pretty decent job being a solid arbiter of the rules of the game. My daughter plays on a 10u softball team based in our town. I’ve coached baseball and softball for a few years—but I’ve never umpired. I’ve got a good handle on the rules, especially at the 14u level and below. We needed a plate ump for a scrimmage last week for our 12u team. I volunteered to do it. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in an officiating capacity. Idk how patched umpires are as consistent as they are. I’ve never been one to argue balls/strikes, but I definitely won’t now. I’d encourage anyone who wants to argue those calls with umpires to go work one game behind the plate. It will literally and figuratively change your perspective.

The squirrel is BACK hickerbillies and yes I have been in hiding these damn tigers and deer have been raining hell on this little squirrel but now I think am safe and back from hiding!!! Last year was eh for the WRC only one school making it to the sectional title games with a massive chokejob that let SP go win the state title, but I have heard whispers from all across the conference and now the squirrel is ready to preview every team and make his picks. Attica- Coach Dean is starting to turn heads and man what year it was for the boys in RED. Attica I think will be better again under coach Dean and they will continue to get better. I think they will be a middle of the pack team that could pull off an upset during the season but a .500 or better season wouldn't shock this squirrel and that is NUTSSSSS!!!!!! Great Job Ramblers. #MakeAtticaRelevantAgain Covington- Man the day as come where we have to say the trojan football program is better than their basketball program. WHAT A SIGN OF THE TIMES! An experienced group that had success last year returns for Coach Wheeler and I got to say he is doing a fantastic job in the trojan complex. I do think however this team lacks a sperstar and won't have a guy that can just go win the game for them, but they are a team that can steal a game or make you earn a win. Give Wheeler another year and the TROJANS will be at the top soon!! #GivetheBBALLMoneyToFootball Fountain Central- Tough break for Earl & the STANGS with their QB going down. The silver lining is now Earl can implement stuff in the summer to get the STangs ready for the fall. Outside of Injuries I know the Stangs return one of the best lines in the conference and could be a strong contender to maybe win the conference but without the QB that task is much harder now. I still like this tea but not their year. #ThecurseofHerb Parke Heritage- This squad is top team in the WRC this year and I think they could be at the top of the rock in a couple years. This team is solid but is young in places. Rector is a phenomal coach and will get them ready. Maybe a parke county title but the WOOFS need to beat good teams this year to earn this squirrel's respect. #HOOFURWOOF Riverton Parke- Well how a decade can change the landscape of a conference. RP has never won a sectional in these players lives and they are talking STATE TITLE this year for the PANTHERS. I like NUTS BUT THIS IS NUTS!!!!!!! Don't get me wrong this panthers team is good but at least win a sectional before talking Lucas OIL. This team is a clear favorite and they have good pieces all around and will be my pick to win conference. Let's be honest if you put last years RP team back in any Year they would be middle of the pack or below average in past years of the WRC. That statement is not NUTSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! I like the staff at RP and maybe they can make a run but will they live up to the hype #Don'tRivertonItUP South Vermillion- Tough year on and off the field for Miller and his crew. However 95% of his team his back and is a year older with some stud athletes with Shyrock and the Smith kid back from injury. Will the line improve for the WIldcats and with the passing of Coach Blank (RIP Legend) who will take over the lineman duties in Clinton. I think coach Miller is the hungriest coach of the conference and wonder if the kids are following that. I like this team and we will see where they are come august. #WhatWillItBeMillerMildOrWild Seeger- 2nd place last year don't know much about the Pats but they are always solid it seems like. #VisorKillas North Vermillion- BAD BAD BAD BAD Falcons. All around crummy season is Cayuga and doesn't look much better for their new guy. Don't know his don't need to will be gone soon I'm willing to bet. Will be a bottomfeeder again this year. #CanWeGoBackToThe2010s PRE-SEASON Power Rankings 1. Riverton Parke -Defending Champs 2. Parke Heritage - Restore the WOOF 3. South Vermillion - A year older 4.
