It's not Heaven(or Iowa) it's Bartlett. Field is ready for the Sectional Championship. Good luck to @stce_softball and @FremdSoftball in their contest today.

It took a few months but we begin the 12th annual Wolfsmith family Harry Potter marathon. Kids came in from their own lives to join the old man once again. So fun to gather again! Not sure how many more years we can gather for this event so I cherish each time. #family

Christina Stankus (2025) made a special day even more memorable for Bartlett HS (@bartlett_hsSB) during the jersey retirement for Lindsay Stoefen, not only receiving a scholarship in her honor but also thanking her in the best way possible — by hitting a home run! 💣💙 Christina is a talented outfielder and 1B, plays for Silver Hawks Dennison-Wintlend, and is a proud UIndy Softball commit. Way to go, Christina — what a way to honor and represent! 🙌👏 @christinastank #ChristinaStankus #UIndyCommit #BartlettSoftball #HomeRunForLindsay #ScholarshipMoment #SilverHawksDennison #ClassOf2025 #SoftballStar #PowerAtThePlate #highlights #fastpitch #girlswithgame #blastcam #homerun

Day 1 in my 35th year of coaching started with some solitude in the gym before 5:40 am practice. Those quiet moments bring back a flood of memories of teams past, now grown men with families, the laughs, the tears, the joy. Coaches of all ages should revel in this quiet time.

Jaylon Johnson's perspective on the Hail Mary: "There should never be somebody wide open in the back of the end zone. Plus we just didn’t execute it well enough at the end of the day. I can’t tell you who was supposed to be there. I don’t know. But at the end of the day, there should never be anybody wide open in the back of the end zone. We’ve all got to find a way to execute better down the stretch."

Perhaps. Although that’s not the best for him either. You still need to produce in a contract year whether you are staying or going. It also sounded like he wasn’t fully bought into the new offense not by what he said but by some of his tone the first two weeks. But that seemed to improve last week.

District: You need to teach exactly this. District: You need to teach this lesson at this exact time. District: This needs to be your exact grading policy. District: You need to differentiate Teachers: How do we do that? District: You are the professionals, you figure it out

35th year of coaching HS at some level..over 20 as HC. I get asked how I keep doing it? This is why!!! Newly done floor, squeaky shoes, bouncing basketballs, 50 kids at first non mandatory Open Gym. How does that not make you feel like a first year coach again? He has blessed me!

Can it be? 32 years of marriage to my best friend! Through many happy days and some rough ones, you were my guiding star. As we raised two great kids and 6 rescued dogs, I have always been impressed by your endless love and strength. Looking forward to many more exciting years!
