Waukegan High School Varsity Softball Coach

[Snoopy]

I want to thank both Bruce and County Mounty for their thoughtful posts. In the grand scheme of things, this is only a silly game of softball. The school district has many more important things to discuss, but this is also very important to me. Teaching doesn't end in the classroom. It extends outside the classroom and onto the basketball courts and softball fields on which these student-athletes compete. The coaches have a great responsibility to our children too, and this responsibility should not be overlooked or dismissed as trivial. I saw kids in tears from the last game of the season, some that have played for and with me and the organizations I have represented as both coach and administator.
I have already won the battle I have started. My victory has been acheived by raising the level of conscienceness of softball in Waukegan.
