    Baseball Restrictions vs. Football Strength and Conditioning

    I would say hitting would be top priority. It would be hard to crack the lineup if you can't hit.

    Baseball Restrictions vs. Football Strength and Conditioning

    I need wrapping my head around baseball and football....... Baseball, a skill sports, that focus on body mechanics, rotation, and development, has a pitching dead period (I approve) and a 30 hour hitting period (starting in April, 10 - 3 hour continuous sessions). But football seems to work...

    Dowling's Head Coach

    Resigned back in the fall. I heard rumors of problems with parents. I wouldn't be surprise if he is back next year. Denny Barton is retiring after this season, maybe, Urbandale would be a good fit for O'Neill.

    Dowling's Head Coach

    I see that they only have 5 loses on the year, after yesterday's split with Urbandale. Is that mostly because of the remaining "O'Neil" talent or is the new coach making changes?? Is he managing or coaching??

    University of Iowa Recruits

    I have been trying to keep up with all University of Iowa recruits.....

    Gene Schultz Resigns

    I totally agree with you and I believe it will come soon. I figure that when baseball season approaches more recognition will follow. Everyone is in football, wrestling, basketball mode right now. Have they hired his replacement yet? Who have they interviewed?

    One more game at Principal Park...

    After watching the championship basketball game between Valley and Iowa City West the other day....I ask: Why does basketball get a 3rd place game and not baseball? Should there be one more game for each class at the state baseball tournament?

    4A State 2013

    I was at the Ankeny-Fort Dodge game watching McKinney pitch and he was fantastic, but so was the Fort Dodge pitcher. As a spectator, I did see the strike zone was huge, but consistent. As a scout, I saw two pitchers hitting their spots, and throwing their off speed for strikes, keeping the...

    Umpires

    I saw a lot of games this summer from 1A to 4A and I have noticed that the quality of high school umpires have diminished. At a couple of games that I was scouting/recruiting at, the umpires were horrible. They may look the part, with all the fancy, new equipment, but their one job is to stay...
