Holding people accountable to high standards is nothing to apologize for.
Failing to stretch them to their potential is.

Congrats to sophomore OF Brady Williams, who became our second “30 Guy” of the 2026 season in only 24 games!

@CoachParcel @coachinggripes You can “Mute” the emails for the rest of this year & don’t sign-up for them next year. IHSBCA Board of Directors are just regular teachers & coaches who volunteer time to help IL HS baseball. We are doing the best we can to help as many as we can.

[Thomas Smith @CoachTSmith2]

@CoachParcel @coachinggripes Takes less than 5 seconds to move the email to an IHSBCA/Trash folder. Roughly 55-70% of Illinois high schools are within a 50 mile radius of Chicago, so we are in the minority. When they send out dates, they find games. Unsubscribe if you don’t like, but it serves its purpose.

[Jay Kidwell @jaykidwellwhbf]

Congratulations to the @AllemanSports stars on their Signing Day.
