    NWE fan…….Thank God that Matt and Trent are made of better stuff that you give them credit for. Petty words will not run these two outstanding men off!! Once again, as has already been posted, if you are so concerned please attend a meeting and volunteer your fine coaching skills. Hopefully we will see you when you volunteer to manage the Juniors next year!!!

    First of all I appologize to Matt and Trent for my comment. I watched these games and I am sure they did all they were supposed to do. Matt and Trent are in my opinion some of the best coaches I have seen in a while and their age had nothing to do with it. But I believe there were more coaches on that team than just Matt and Trent. I hope they dont take all this and discourage themselves from coaching again because they have what it takes to lead a team.It just seemed like decisions were coming from the daddys not the manager. If I am wrong I appologize for that. My reaction comes from worries about my oldest moving up to Juniors next year and fair playing time.And as for volunteering, I put in plenty of hours over the past couple of years and will continue….I love all the ballplayers up there and enjoy the friends I have made since moving to this Park. I hope you all understand I have to remain anonomous for my childrens sake. I was simply stating an opinion and worded it wrong. Everyone that knows the team and watched the games have their own opinions and i used the poor judgement to put mine here. Sorry again and I meant no disrespect.

    First, I want to thank Matt and Trent for a great season a NWE. Theses young men done a fine job of coaching our junior boys to a undefeated season, pretty impressive for the first year. Can you believe someone can say they play daddy ball and the players are only a few years younger. Second, I really want to respond to the SO-CALLED NWE FAN but it is hard because this person has to be a child. I know a MAN wouldn’t hide behind a fake name, or even a women with a kid. If you are a MAN or WOMEN and not a kid please give me a call 850-327-6788 so I can show you how to really help the kids at NWE. Also, I think you should not be able to post on this website untill you have enough nerve (not the word I really want to use) to post your real name!

    You go, Matt!! I thought it was kind of funny when we were told about the post from NWE Fan. Like you said, you are 21. The boys are 13 and 14. I know strange things happen, but I have not as of yet heard of an 7 or 8 year old fathering a child. You and Trent are examples of what any and all able parents should be doing. Going above and beyond to help make a difference in the lives of children. I do not have a child on your team, but would be proud to. I appreciate all you do for our park and our boys!

    This is for NWE so called fan….lf you know me, i think the last time i checked i didnt have any children. I mean come on , i am 21 and yeah im telling you to grow up. “DADDY BALL” . I do this because i love this game and i love my kids…..I know what its like going to high school and being so far behind because other kids get the coaching they need when they are young, before high school…..I teach my kids the basis of life, such as RESPECT , so get some… its not all about getting on a field and throwing or hitting a ball…..you know a coach told me one time that the only way to love the game is respect the game…..well get some respect….Thanks NWE for giving me a opportunity on a great season……
