  1. I stepped away from coaching in 1985 because of greater job demands.... I had coached as a lay coach from 1978 to 1985. When I retired in 2017, I decided to get back into coaching full time because I was bored with retirement. I had coached various youth league teams on a part time basis between 1985 and 2017; however, I digress. I thought it would be better if I was an in the building coach so I went back to school at the ripe old age of 65 to obtain my Professional Educators License. This marks my fifth season at the secondary level as a coach of two sports. With all the ups and downs it has been a journey.... it keeps me young!

    Baseball will be the hard one.  The old legion rule where they supply the school team with equipment and tournaments.  There are no rules regarding the number of kids from one school. I feel that ADs and coaches should look at summer and cut it into 3rds.  Not sure if you need spring sports with travel baseball/softball and IJGA for golf.  Basketball/Winter Sports get  June with Football being allowed to lift and such.  After July 4th week the shift needs to be on the Fall Sports.  Bottom line Coaches need to share athletes. And  kids should not be penalized for not coming to things in a given sport if they are participating in their chosen sport or activity.  Virtually all football folks get this concept.

    Too bad some BB coaches don't get it.

    The way I understand it is a gentleman was driving a buggy with the Horse named Bart. When he wanted to stop he said "Ho-Bart", and that is how the town got it's name. Don't know how true it is, but I had a roommate in college from Hobart and that is the story he told of how the town got it's name.

    Your roomie was pulling your leg... George Earle, one of the founding fathers named it after his brother Hobart. The Earles were from Europe, what part not sure, H-O-B-A-R-T was pronounced H-O-B-E-R-T in the old country. I was told this by a lady at the Hobart Historical Society back in 1993, when I moved here.
