The Coach's Box

Always hard on these boys because I know how great they are going to be. We have been battle tested all weekend. This is what you want to see from your team. 12u playing up in 13u and you can't tell the difference. We had a rough start to the year but we went out and played the best competition we could play. It made us tough and strong. Every kid in this picture contributed to this championship. Coach Barry and I are very proud of the team you have become. Love coaching you guys. We are hard on you all for a reason.

Just wanted to let everyone that's a part of the Coach's Box know how thankful I am to know each and everyone of you. From the start to now we are still growing and figuring things out. From day one the goal has been, keeping positive role models around the kids, keep the kids first and provide a place that helps every player grow and become a better person and ball player.

Funny how it's helping me and other adults grow and become better people also.

I have saw and heard some amazing things since we have started but the past few weekends have really showed me that when you have a plan and people buy into the plan it will work no matter what obstacles occur.

I have saw 9yr old kids play 10u D1 and not miss a beat. I have saw 10u players play 11u and not miss a beat. I have saw 12u players play on 2 of our 12u teams. I have saw 11u players play on 2 11u teams. I have saw 11u players play 12u and not miss a beat. This is what it's about. We have plenty of opportunities for our players within the organization. The plan is for Kids to be able to play every weekend if they wanted to. Play at different levels and get different experiences. We haven't mastered the idea but we are getting better at it.

The most impressive thing is watching the older kids interact with the younger kids. Helping them out and not downing anyone but lifting them up and giving them the words of encouragement to play with them.

Our coaches are phenomenal. We have coaches that have a team but will show up to the other teams practice to help out. Our 11u team had practice the other day and it was 4 9yr old kids out there working hard to keep up and the coaches were coaching them just as hard as their own players.

We have a great opportunity to help these young men become better.

Thank you for all the support and sacrifice. God makes no mistakes and he gives each and everyone of us a job to do while we are here on earth.

Just want to say how proud we are of these young men. Braylen Lepely, John Carre, Mason Barnes, Taken Lucas, CJ Sinclair, Connor Bast and Reggie Marshall. They went to Tennessee and displayed great attitude, respect and sportsmanship. Parents and Coaches you all have done a wonderful job with these young men. On the field these ballers showed why they were selected to participate in this event. Keep working hard guys and stay humble you all have bright futures.

CB ELITE 12U, very proud of you boys. We took a few whoopings this weekend, but learned some great lessons. This is our first year together, and we are headed in the right direction. We played with 4 guest players this weekend due to some injuries to some of our key players. Guest players were awesome all weekend and I enjoyed having you all.

This is a marathon not a sprint. The tables will turn. We are going to continue to play great competition and work to see better results. Love you guys.

CB Player of the weekend goes to #6 Landon McDonald ( CB Chaos 11u ) son of William Heath Mcdonald and Allison Powell McDonald.

Landon McDonald led his team by going 5 - 5 with ( 7 RBI ). This effort helped his team top a very good 11u team ( Carolina Cubs ).

Landon displayed great attitude, sportsmanship and hustle throughout the weekend.

Coach Mike and Coach Heath should be extremely proud of this young man and the team as a whole.

Every weekend coaches will vote for a player of the weekend and we will decide a winner. I had the pleasure of watching all of our teams that played this weekend and Landon McDonald performed like a true champion.

Players of the week will receive an award from the facility the following week.

Great job Landon.

Super proud of the 11U CB Chaos today in their first tournament. Coach Mike and Coach Heath have put in the work with this great group of ball players. This group displayed the type of discipline and hustle that you pray for as a head coach. Attitude is important and I really enjoyed watching them do the small things and never give up.

To all of our middle school age players that's trying out today.
May God renew your strength and allow you to remember all of the things you have learned.
Go play your game. Stay relaxed and focused. Hustle on and off the field. Respect ( yes sir and no sir )
Be vocal.
Move your feet.
Do good boys. You got it.

Today has been great. Thanks for all the love on my birthday. My lovely wife Britni Marshall made my favorite (red velvet cake). The best secretary in the world Virginia brought me in some home made red velvet cupcakes. Kanyon Culver will definitely run at practice for getting me a pink balloon.
