If you're lucky enough to have parents with skillful kids living in the school district you will have success there. It's all based on the luck of the draw unless you're at a private school which is really not fair that they combine with public schools. If you don't have the luck of talented kids living there the coaches will suck. It's just that simple.

Head coach is the worst. But don’t ask him, he will tell you different

Who really thinks Rocco is a good coach? Antioch has just continued to have D1 talent in the program. Surprised you didn't say the Huntley coach too. HA

Carpenter is a great coach and Sycamore will make their run this year without Antioch D1 pitcher standing in their way.

Whoever were the Winners last season? Can they do it again and repeat?

I'd also enjoy hearing opinions on the best coaches in the local club scene (beyond Bill and Gerry).

I'd request we keep this focused on the positives, and not delve into criticisms of those who may be lacking...

Not Joliet Catholic for sure. That coach does not know simple plays plus her assistant (Bandits assistant coach) is no longer there for some reason. She will be swimming up the river with no paddle

I get JCA can gather players from just about anywhere. I just don’t see kids going from too far away. And with talent lacking in the Joliet area, there is only so much a coach can do. IJS
I’d like to see some of parents do better.

Posted by Joilet talent on March 29, 2025, 1:03 pm, in reply to "Re: High School Ball"

Yes the Joilet talent is definitely lacking. What quality travel teams are Iin the Joilet area? Pretty much nothing, the Dirtdevil organization was broken up by a Daddy ball coaches that didnt get their way. Everyone feels that since they have GoPro now they will be on a comeback but it will take time as they don't have the older teams. Hopefully they create talent so JCA can compete at the higher level.

By the looks of some of these records, there will be no repeat of coach of the year... at least at the daddy ball level.... WOW

I am just waxed to see coaches deleting losses off gamechanger in high school. So you have to go into the other team's gamechanger and find out they lost one and won one. Is this that big of deal that coaches need to delete games? WOW

Re: High School Ball

Posted by @Gamechanger on April 1, 2025, 7:29 pm, in reply to "Re: High School Ball"

Not sure if this is the case in your scenario but many teams do not count the 2nd game in a double header vs the same team. The first game is generally the game that counts and both teams play their starters. The 2nd game is to get the bench players some game time and that game may not count for official stats.

Re: High School Ball

Posted by Gamechangers on April 2, 2025, 10:14 am, in reply to "Re: High School Ball"

That might be true for some, but in this case this coach lists 2 wins in double headers when he wins both, yet deletes loses. This would also wipe away any good stats a player had during a game they lost.... but I guess it's winnng at all cost..

What about when you beat the same team two days in a row?

Posted by Nope on April 2, 2025, 11:50 am, in reply to "Re: High School Ball"

If the game counts towards your total number of games, the stats and record counts.

Stop spreading stupid sh*t.

There is a scrimmage option available for teams to scrimmage other teams in Indiana, and those stats do not count. All other stats, and W/L totals count.

Posted by Huh? on April 3, 2025, 8:11 am, in reply to "Re: High School Ball"

You schedule the game and play the game, it counts. Period. You don't get to pick and choose what goes towards your record. Sad to see some of the shenanigans from travel happening in HS ball

My daughter's high school team went undefeated last year. Any game they didn't score more runs than the opponent weren't counted, GC deleted, and the book page torn and burned. What a season they had!

More stupidity.

Stop

How about this? If you "crunch" your numbers for a better record on your G/C than the IHSA has recorded for your school, you must be a tool!

Re: High School Ball

Posted by Nope on April 3, 2025, 12:57 pm, in reply to "Re: High School Ball"

Agreed. But when one parent is running GC, and the other one is coaching 3B, you can very easily take a good player and make her great. It was obvious last season, but it work. She got many awards.

It's more than just the W/L record.
