South Rowan Legion's Coach steps down

I've never known any coach to be more dedicated to the kids, the program, or to the principles of good baseball. He'll be missed by everyone involved with South Rowan Legion. Good luck Coach.

Great story...I hate to lose another great baseball man

 

if i'm not mistaken ..
Coach Chris Anderson " Belmont Abbey " didnt lose a game when he was the coach during Coach Wilsons absence last year.
That would be a good coach to hire as head coach , if he is able to swing it ...

 

I'm sorry to hear that, but I think Coach Wilson has been contemplating that for a while. It's tough for those 40 hour a week guys - believe me. I always enjoyed coaching against South when I was at Lexington. We always wanted to beat the snot out of each other, but before and after the games it was always a pleasure to chat with Coach Wilson and Anderson. He's a good guy and a good baseball man - the Area will miss him.

 

Coach Wilson was truly one of the top legion coaches in this area,,,, always having South Rowan ready to play and always doing the fundamentals so well. Just like others have already stated, as good a baseball coach as he was, he was even a greater person to speak with after the ballgame.

As one of his opponents here in Kannapolis, I truly wish him the best in his future,,,, but trust me, someone near his home in Indian Trail will be very wise to get Coach Wilson back into coaching sometime very soon. This guy's a winner.

Best wishes coach.

 

I dunno if he can still swing it...heck, I don't believe he can run anymore, but I agree 100% with IC...Chris would be a great coach and would make the transition very smooth. I don't know if Coach Anderson would want to do that, but if he did...wow, S. Rowan would be mighty lucky!!!!

I'd love to see S Rowan play Gaston Legion if that's the case. In fact, I might even pay to see that...whoah...I got a little carried away there.

 

I think IntimidatorCoach needs to throw his name in the hat for the South job...

 

Actually...

Actually, Braves they did last year. That was one of the games that Anderson was the head coach too. Amazingly the assistant knocked off the head man 5-1.

Wilson did a superb job. He deserves all of the thanks he can get. I tip of the hat to all of the people that made that thing work over the last 6 years.

 

See...I told y'all Coach Anderson can coach. Of course, I bet that Coach Smith was a little difficult to be around after that game Any smack talk after the game?

 

No

A lot of jabbing in the ribs, but no smack talking. I will say that I hope the person that they hire has appreciation for what it took to get the ball rolling down there. There is some talent coming out consistently in that program now, and hopefully the guy that they hire will do a good job.

Want to, but can't do it guys. Take mine out of the hat. Too much travel, time, and not enough money. Thanks for the recognition though.
