I heard Minford is looking for a new coach this year they have a good Freshman class that has played alot of travel ball if they hire a good coach they should make a run at the S.O.C. in softball maybe bring home 2 gold trophies this year.

Heard from a reliable source Preston Messer was hired as the new coach.

Pres is very knowledgeable about the game of softball. If he can get the girls to play some competitive summer ball and work at it in the off season (winter) he can start building a program. H e has been around enough softball to know what it takes to compete. Good Luck!

Is coach Messer getting things organized there yet. Seen him and Knockoff in Columbus over
the weekend. He seems real excited about being in Minford.

Three best coaches I Know Darrel Brickey, Bart Evans, and Preston Messer. Congrats and good luck

Come on West Sider; isn't Prestons head already big enought? LOL

But I also agree, with all three!

West Sider & West Side Pride ,

Coach Messer is very excited to be at Minford with his knock off coach, and his other coaches. My guess is that the West and Minford game this year will be 2 good teams playing the same kind of softball, But with different SIGNS on what they our trying to do during the game. LOL Good Luck to the West girls & thier coaching staff on thier softball season this year.

I believe helping Preston this year will be John Griffith, thats what I've heard anyway. Either way John will have a big part in the return of Minford as a power. He has had a travel team based out of Minford for about 4 or more years now. Autumn Griffith will go down as one of Minford's best. Dare I say, "protype west power pitcher", Preston should feel right at home. Pretty good Jr. High program as well. Together they will have Minford back where it should be. They all say it starts with pitching, and once again they have one. Good Luck Minford.

Coach1, Don't change the SIGNS! lol
And if you call a play, then start laughing....We'll know what your doing.....lol

good luck messer!

great hire for the falcon softball.....welcome coach messer..

best of luck coach messer . MD

I think we probly could have done a little better, but we'll see.

^^^ That's freakin hilarious right there!!!! It will take a West Side coach to make them better. lol

How are the ladies doing so far, and how is the new coach doing. I'm hearing pretty good.

how did the ironton scrimmage go ? have they only had 1 scrimmage ?

Coach Messer has the Minford Falcons at 3-0 I was at the Clay ballgame today at Minford had some E'S but they still won 13-6. Good Luck Ladys keep it up.

Hiring Coach Messer is the best thing Minford has done for their softball program since Coach Daniels. He is there to build a program for Minford. Minford finally has a coach that knows softball,enjoys working with the girls and most of all has earned the respect of the girls. Good Luck Lady Falcons!!

I agree coach Messer is doing a great jod with the girls and Minford softball. I was at the game tonight against Coal Grove and the girls looked good, from what I seen coach Messer is very strict on the girls he seemed like he expects them to always be in the game and know what they need to do when they get the ball hit to them we haven't had a coach like him since coach Daniels so good luck girls it has been a joy watching the Minford Softball team this year.
