Congratulations to Mr. Hurt. I've known him for a long time and am pleased to see him get this opprotunity. The only quesiton I have about this hire is, didn't anyone else more qualified happen to apply? This will be his first head coaching position at the high school level and I'm sure he has never been a part of a softball team other than the ones he has played on during the summer. I would figure with the amount of talent that JC produces in softball that some coaches would be willing to leave a pretty good situation for a great situation. JC, like everyone knows is getting a brand new facility. The school supports all their athletic teams to the max, and they are traditionally strong in whatever extracurricular event they may be taking place in. Not trying to dog Jason what so ever, I just figured someone else with more experience and a better resume would have applied and got the nod. Best of luck to him and the two new assistants to the Eagle family.
