Hager isn't running anyone off. Logan Hall left last year after the season, and Lafferty was pretty much forced to leave due to his father taking the baseball coaching position at Betsy Layne. The only kid that left to my knowledge that was unhappy was Westin Harris and he has been to three different schools in four years. If anything, Hager is setting the tone for future success. They will take their lumps this year but for the longevity of the program looks to be heading in the right direction. Weed the one's out that needed weeded out, and parents and players will know what to expect in the future. You have to start building a program from the bottom up, and sometimes things like this need to happen.

I have had direct conversations with players on the roster who have said that the baseball story with Coles dad is a lie being spun by the coaching staff to cover it up.

I can say with certainty this isn’t true.
