PRESIDENTS MESSAGE:

With June 30^th approaching, my term as president of the MHSBCA is coming to an end.   On July 1, Eric Briggs from Bolivar High School will take over for the next 2 years as the association’s president.   Eric has been a long-time active member and I believe he will do an outstanding job as the next president of the MHSBCA.

As for me, it has been a privilege and an honor to be a member of this organization for over two decades and president for the past two years.   Many of you know that after coaching 25 years at Union, I left the baseball job in 2007.  I was president-elect at the time and I decided to fulfill my term in that role and then to ultimately be president of the association.   I have truly enjoyed my time as president and the continued connection it gave me to this great game of high school baseball!   I’m not ruling out the possibility of one day coaching baseball again in some capacity (I’m still assisting with the UHS softball team) and I definitely plan on being an active member of the association.   I will continue to fill the All-State chairman’s job (unless there is a member that really wants it) and plan on attending the association’s coaching clinics for years to come.

After being around this game for so long, I really believe that high school baseball in Missouri has never been stronger.  One of the main reasons for that is the involvement of the MHSBCA and its strong membership.  I was reminded of this recently by a number of association activities.    Putting together and coaching our recent Sunbelt team took many hours of work as did the Senior All-Star Series, the All-State and Academic All-State selections, and the spring baseball rankings.   Members (too numerous to mention in this message) not only put in many hours in these programs but in all the activities that MHSBCA is involved with throughout the year.

I would like to mention that we seem to have a very good relationship with MSHSAA.

A number of us were at the recent baseball advisory meeting.  It was great to see that most members on the advisory board were also MHSBCA members.   Several topics were discussed with maybe the most important one currently being the possibility of having 5 classes in baseball.   That should be voted on next spring.   The MHSBCA continues to be a strong voice for high school baseball in Missouri.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all those who have worked hard to make this association the award-winning organization that it is.   I must again say a special thank you to Bill and Janet Seamon, our executive director and secretary, for helping me so much the past 2 years.   They really are the brains and backbone behind the association.

Finally, I want to do one more thing as your president.   I want to invite all high school baseball coaches (we do have Legion and youth coaches as members also) to join the association.   We have strong membership numbers but constantly strive to do better.

Be a member and become involved in one of the greatest coaching associations in the country!

Once again, thank you for the privilege of serving as president of the MHSBCA.   It has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my coaching career!
