Please, Take a moment of silence to Remember Coach Weatherly from Pierce City. He left behind a family and a community that loved and supported him. Makes one stop and think, doesn't it?
Thank you and lets get to the Corner!
WOW! A whole year has went and gone since the first Coach Hughes' Corner was posted. December 16th was the 1st one. I would like feedback on this. So, after this Corner, post on this one what you like or don't like about the Corner. I would also like your feedback on what some of the highlights of the Corner over the year has been. So, Here is 2010 YEAR IN REVIEW, Coach Hughes's Corner Style! I will give a quick run down of each corner. If you would like, you can go back and look at them.

Mark McGwire admitted to using steroids. I gave my point of view on this on the January Corner. The Cardinals also signed Matt Holliday to a long term deal. I was sick and tired of the weather and wanted the spring to hurry and get here. I am probably getting that bug already, and it is not even Christmas yet.

This Corner covered a part of my youth that was very important to me. I went over the first memories of the spring and playing ball in the back yard. I again mentioned I didn't like the weather. Seeing a trend here. I brought up that Practice starts soon for the Spring 2010 Season. (OH YEAH)

This was the Politic Corner. I was asked a question by the KKBL radio guy at the boys basketball game about Private vs Public schools. I went into the goods and bads on this. So, after I put my answers on there, I talked a little about our team. Good post, that I totally forgot about.

This was a fun post. I did the situation post regarding my thinking on baseball situations and why or what I would do. I really enjoyed this one. This was also at the time of the Spring season on full swing. I posted that we had a chance to share a conference title if we beat Exeter, which we later did to share the conference crown.
May, June, July, and August
Must of been hibernating. Didn't get to post a corner. Probably just a bit lazy, mixed in with limited computer access over the summer.(I am poor and cheap and don't have internet at the house) SO, we will assume that I had some good points and would of made some awesome Corners. OK, deal!
Sept, 2010
September Corner is one of the most heartfelt and awesome posts I have done. I meant every word of it and am still to this day thankful for the ones that have helped our program. It isn't where it is just because of me and the boys. Each one of you had a big impact in this program. I also posted something that I feel strong about, my wife. I also put this on here, makes since, huh, "Big things can happen with the support of everyone. And I, just one coach, Thank each and everyone of you for that support."

October's post was just plain out fun. I got to relive a few memories and give some props to some important individuals just like in September, the graduated players. I loved doing this and know that I will remember every individual for some thing they did for me or this program. Life is short, so remembering these guys and being involved in there lives is a great honor. Thanks

This post was one of my rants about me and what I do to get through the wonderful Missouri winters. I can tell you that I really enjoyed this one too. I got to share some of my other passions other than baseball. I am proud of who I am and what I do and like to share it with others.
I hope each of you have time to go back and look at all of these, I have never looked at them after the initial time they were posted. Makes for some good reading and really enjoyed this past year doing this Corner. I will try to make it monthly, even in the summer months.
Remember that it is that time of year, CHRISTmas, to give and help those out that are less fortunate than us. The stress of this time of year can sometimes ruin a day, a week, or even a life. I know that stress can set someone off(it did me this morning and I regret every second it does), just remember to look at the good stuff that you have. Some people will not get a Christmas dinner, a present, time with love ones, and moments that they will want to remember for a lifetime. For the most part, we will have all of these. Merry Christmas from just one Coach and his family.
