Tooslow Midway passed their bond yesterday and one of the items is a new baseball field. Hopefully they will build it to where centerfield faces the NE instead of SE......... It might help their run production too.

Wow...relatively speaking, that's a pretty new field. Maybe 25 years old? I know it and everything else there was built at the same time as the HS.

A baseball stadium was built before the football stadium when the new school went up that is located just north of where the football stadium is now. The track was put in during the '84-'85 school year, but seating for football was not. The baseball stadium was pretty cool for the times...it had stands built into the sides of hills and was much better than the Oil Belt facilities that T-M and Calallen had to share. When softball came into the picture, they converted that field to a softball field and T-M started playing on the albatros field it plays on today. Not sure what year that was, but it was subsequent to the new school being built. Congrats to TM for building a new field and hopefully it will be facing the same way the Cal field is.

Aha...that makes sense. I could've sworn the field that I remembered there faced a different direction. That explains it. Also shows how long it's been since I've been by the T-M campus.

Ok I heard that TM fired their ad/football coach but I haven't seen any reports of it. I also heard they suspended another football coach because he made "inappropriate comments" to a player during stretches, as he to him to "spread em like a vagina" when the kid was doing leg stretches.... Has anyone heard this?

Has anyone heard this? kids these day hear a lot worse. i could see that type of comment being bad if it was in the 70's when there was not much social networking. watch tv hell the language on it is getting dicey. as the coach getting let go could be good for the program seemed like he had no discipline on his teams

Has anyone heard this? not much into the he said she said but a good friend from TM did say something about this on saturday, Now I was also told that a coach from the moody high school baseball team was also recorded on utube fighting with a ex- moody parent, this was the second time these two indivials had words and this time he was set up for someone to put it on utube. Can anyone tell me if theres any truth to that.

CB25, I couldn't find the Moody incident on youtube and I am glad T-M is moving on. They need to make Bobby Craig the AD and hire a coach that just concentrates on Football. Otter might disagree, but there were a lot of issues with that regime that are better left not talked about. Hell, they should move Skoruppa up to head coach and let one of the best LB's I ever saw play in high school have a stab at the HC job.
As far as the comment....I've heard much worse. Now if it was someone like Sandusky saying it, I might be more offended...

Wonder why the TM news has not made the papers or TV?
On subject, I am all for TM using that field or any other high school for that matter. Last year, it couldn't even be used for practice because no one was taking care of it. We could have used it for the playoffs.
