In reference to the individuals that were dismissed from their duties as coaches for the girls J V softball team at Scotland high School. The way I see it, that was wrong. I'm not a parent of any of these girls, but I am a grandparent of one of them. These two men have built a team of unity and dedication, not only to the game but to each other and especially to the coaches. These coaches have not only taught these girls how to be winners, but they also taught them to believe in themselves, self respect and respect for each other. I think the community should rally around these men and show them the support they need and deserve. It seems to me that if the complaints that were submitted against these coaches were truly serious enough for them to be dismissed from their coaching jobs, they wouldn't have the support of everybody, including the players, parents and, in my case, grandparents, the many fans that would come out to support the home town team and people from surrounding counties. As for person or persons responsible for reviewing and investigating this complaint and coming to the conclusion to remove these men from their coaching jobs, well maybe they need to be investigated themselves. Who knows, maybe there is some favoritism going on. Maybe they need to be removed from their jobs as well. Like I said, this whole mess is just wrong. It's as wrong as "two left shoes."
