[Lowdown]

I understand where Reds#1fan and 14th region fanman are coming from. You are very correct in so many different ways. Coming across the wrong way was not my intent. Also, I shouldn’t set those goals so high for a new coach and I would never take anything away from Coach Beard’s wins and tenure as softball coach. She deserves every accolade that she ever earned. I should’ve just left it as simple as the new coach will be different. No two coaches are alike...no two people are alike. They have different philosophies and that is very normal. Only thing I was saying is that at this stage of the game...Estill softball has become somewhat a lot like the Ky wildcats. The softball team...until just last year..minus the band...were the only Estill team that could compete and win a region title from one year to the next. At some point..like we have with the cats...people have expectations when the team has constantly reached a certain pinnacle. And at some point...you want to exceed that highest point and go a little further. Not to ever put unneeded pressure on the new coach or players. I just know that the fan base would love to reach a new goal of winning a game at state.
