    Don't pay too much attention to him coach. He will only offer a reply if it involves transfers. Although we have many topics and threads to discuss, if it does not involve transferring, we will not hear from him.

    sometimes i think that when people write articles like this one they think less of a person who transfers from a public school to a private school and whatever the reason may be, they down the level of play at that school in the conference. I guarantee if some of these guys who write things like this and others would come out and watch a game in a conference like this there oppinion would change because there are guys that can play at the next level that just don't get the attention because they choose to play for a christian school.Vandalia Christian is leading the NCCSA conference and they are good enough to compete with and beat some local high school teams. Both of my team's losses have come to Vandalia this year and there catcher should deffinately be getting attention from colleges. All i'm saying is i wish people would write a informed article in which they knew the background and the facts-just like the media these days. I'm glad his dad left his information on there where he could be contacted at and maybe we can see a follow up with the correct information.

    I watched a tournament in Charlotte last week. Private schools vs some of the best public schools. The private schools not only held their own, there were an abundance of very talented players.

    The other thing that I noticed was the quality of talented coaches at the private schools

    Braves, Dawgswood and anyone else



    1. The question I posed was refering to the comment made in the article about leaving his public HS program which may play stronger teams becauses of being able to pull from a large pool of kids than a private school.
    2. You will also see I never said that UNCW would think less of him for this move
    3. As I have said it is thier business not our regardless of what we think personally.
    4. Part of the game period. I could use many examples of this. But I will let you come up with them.

    Lastly, I would hope that this explains my post. If not please PM me on the prat you do not get, understand or even agree with. I will be more that happy to go further.

    Who knows that this kid did not discuss this move with the coaches at UNCW before going back??? I'm sure they are ok with the decisions they make as a family. The reporter is the only one whom made a bad decision. Stay away from that guy his opinion means nothing!

    OH YEAH! I almost forgot. What happened to going to the school that most benefits you academically?????? NO mention of the ACTUAL REASON for going to SCHOOL! IT's S-C-H-O-O-L not baseball. If you can read this thank a teacher..................not a coach!

    I was not

    going to respond to this because quite frankly it Peed me off so bad when I read it. The best thing that can be done is to delete this thread imo. Congrats to him for earning an opportunity to play at the next level and at a quality program like UNCW. I hope he has a tremendous senior year. I hope that the person that wrote this garbage never has their own son treated this way.

    I told Braves as much in a PM - and Alan Ash said on on that site - this was as much about Andy getting action on his website as anything.

    Mission accomplished. Although he'll have one visitor making a whole lot fewer visits.

    Serious mental

    I thought I was a nut at times. This guy thinks he is the ----. It is an opinion. Just like mine everyone has one. He claims to be a sports reporter. What sport is he reporting. Transfer. Give us more than that.
