    One last thing and I'll move on. I always heard whispers from people that if you helped Bags with his facility, it was a sure way to get your son playing time. Nothing could have been further from the truth. First of all he couldn't play all the players whose families consistently helped and Bag's has always been about winning. He doesn't care who you are, if your son can help him win, you're playing, if not, you're sitting.

    Although Bag's always received outstanding praise for his field, the real field warriors were the parents and there was only one reason for their attitude and effort....P-R-I-D-E

    It's over.....

    Sometimes the mind needs to reboot. Correct it is with the support of the parents that move things forward. Ask this question: Was he hired to just coach? Does he teach or have a real job? If it was to just coach. Bet he could not feed himself or a family on the money. Parents being behind any program is a big plus. Ask Coach Harper at Parkland. Teacher from 7:00 am till about 4:00 pm then work the field, coach players, work the field some more. As him his hourly rate. Bet 99.9% of the borad would not even think about it. Sure a coach has a lot on the plate. But it takes the parents. If they are in it for the program the best. If it is just for their kid? I will leave it for you to finish. I guess we could say: Look in the mirror. Have you ask what you could do or just watch the weeds grow?

    Hey Braves....I've been meaning to ask: Why did I only get "pull weeds"? What didn't yall let me use any of the tools, mowers, gators, weed eaters etc? :47:
