I think that in order for Sheldon Clark athletics to pick up, especially softball, there needs to be like summer leagues and camps and all these other things that teach players how to be fundamentally sound and get the young ones interested. I think a lot of the difference with the softball program, is girls in other counties have a league to play in before it comes time for high school softball, am I wrong? They start at a young age and gain knowledge and skill that nobody from Sheldon Clark got.

In my day (wow, makes me sound old) Martin County had a little league for softball... and I participated. That program weeded out the kids that really just didn't cut it athletically and worked with the ones with talent and made them ready to perform at a varsity level. The SCHS softball program has not been the same SINCE about '02 and that is kinda the generation that grew up with the junior league to start out in.

As far as nobody getting scholarships, thats not the girls' fault.. you can have a very outstanding player but if your coach doesn't CARE enough to try to get you looked at, believe me, you won't get looked at. You've gotta get your name out there before ANYONE will be interested, especially on a team with a constant losing season.

And about the coaching -- I think a change of coaching staff is in order with nearly EVERY Sheldon Clark sport, it would make a world of difference if we got people in that didn't worry about politics and who you are... and whether or not your daddy is gonna get his shotgun out on them... haha. But yeah, Larry May, for example, may know baseball and how to coach boys, but as far as getting a bunch of girls together and getting them to play well, I think he needs to step down and let SC find someone else.
