@CoastalPreps @AshleyAthletics @HoggardWsoccer @karina_peat @2025WilliamsTay @_jordandevoid This game deserves overtime
@CoastalPreps Thank you for not referring to it as double OT, Tim. One of my pet peeves is when people do that 😂
@CoastalPreps Thanks for stopping by Trask County...you're always welcomed!
I’ll tell you what, @CoachNWoods putting in some work.
@coach_rusk @CoastalPreps @Gen_Woody @AHSBaseballClub @baseball_wbhs23 Good lord. A player is never out for throwing or removing helmet during live ball. Even if he’s ejected he’s not out and the run counts. We umpires have to get into the rulebook better.
@CoastalPreps @tkhighcountry There is no rule in high school ball that results in an out for removing the helmet. None.
Can confirm. Deciding where to place MEC baseball and softball teams in our statewide and area code rankings each week sometimes feels like a task that is above my pay grade. This week I employed the "maybe if I just bunch them together they'll understand" method.
Anyone want to take a shot at doing baseball power rankings for me next week?!?!? The worse ranked team won all 4 Mideastern Conference games tonight. I'm about to just start pulling teams out of a hat!
@CoastalPreps It just means the Mideastern Conference is chock full of talent. Every team has a stopper or guy who can break open the game. And most probably have more than one!
@CoastalPreps Thank you for coming out today, Tim!
Knocking off #1 on my bucket list. Heading to the Masters today.
Thank you to the Alex Highsmith Family Foundation for their generous donation from the raffle at Alex's jersey retirement!
@CoastalPreps Remember fondly the days (and nights) covering high school spring sports: Baseball, softball, girls soccer, boys tennis all happening around the same time. Only one of me. But a zillion scores, photos and highlights to track down. It was really fun, though!
Thank you @CoastalPreps for the nomination!
We've reached the midway point of the season in baseball, softball and girls soccer. It's now up to you to decide the the winners of several Coastal Preps Midseason Awards READ HERE (free to view and vote): coastalpreps.com/coastal-preps-…
I was surprised Jeffrey High Knees Anderson got a Final Four officiating assignment. Thought he had a bad game in Sweet 16.
I’d be really interested to see what her reaction would be if this topic has a direct impact on her team’s success. In no world should men who “consider themselves” women be able to compete in women’s athletics. Let’s cut the 💩 people geez
Much respect to Dawn Staley in her support of transgender rights.
