If you can't take harsh criticism you can't play for him. He came to West 3 years ago and there were a few who couldn't take his hard style of coaching, and left the program. My son loves him even when Trey chews his behind. He's turned these kids and this program into hard chargers who just grind and grind and grind. They are mentally tough and These kids are relentless!

We went up against some of the best arms in the state this year and beat em. We were 6 and 1 against 6A(we split with Brandon). In the playoffs we scored 65 runs and gave up 10 in 8 games.

I'm so proud of my kid. Y'all indulge me for minute if you don't mind cause these kind of things don't happen every day. He caught all but 2 innings this year. He's beat up, had to have his left thumb and wrist taped up to keep it immobile for the last 8 games, his ankle is so swollen you can't tell where his calf begins and he took a foul tip of his right thumb in game 1 and its twice it's normal size, and his whole body is bruised and battered,yet he found a way to elevate his play for the playoff run. He went 11 for 23 with 2 doubles, 2 hrs, 11 rbi and 4 walks. He drove in 2 runs in Game 1 and singled to lead off the 5th last night that started our 4 run rally. He threw out the only runner that attempted to steal in the playoffs. He's leading the country(catchers) in total chances, putouts, third in assists and is in the top 8 throwing out runners, only 2 errors in over 350 chances and 2 passed balls this year.

I appreciate y'all so much for the good thoughts and wishes! Thank y'all! It's what makes this the BEST board bar none!

Now, I hope to watch our Dawgs go get a Natty, this would complete a dream baseball season for me!

HAILSTATE!

No doubt about Trey. I played with him a west. He coaches liked he played, like a man possessed! He keeps the kids fired up for sure. It’s incredible to me some of the numbers these kids put up this year. Including your son. He’s one tuff dude. I know every one on this side of the county is fired up this morning. Congrats again buddy

Thank you so much! I coached him hard from the get go and Trey has just continued that brand of coaching. I don't think my kid could play for someone that wasn't a hard ass. He's fiery and intense and I think that's why him and Trey bonded immediately. Trey started him at catcher as a freshman during his first year as West's head coach. He loves Trey even when he's getting reamed. We love Trey and what he's done here at West. Such a special feeling for them to make history!

That's unreal for a catcher to not give up a stolen bag during the entire playoff run. Not to even mention is other stats... keep him working man and definitely get him rested and healed! People don't realize how hard it is behind the dish, but when you find a guy who can perform back there the sky's the limit.

Congrats CC! I couldn’t get to Trustmark until today. MS has some damn good talent here today! Hate I missed yours.

Thanks Hack! He threw out Dannis Jackson earlier this year and it was on a breaking ball. That was the only caught stealing for dannis all year.
