Nobody in Carroll County will question whether or not Head Coach Rick Nester has mellowed a bit over the past decade.
The issue is what triggered the change that took our hard nosed leader into a rather personable Southern gentleman???
One very popular option is Adam and Kayla Nester presented Rick and Donna with a trio of Grandchildren. Nothing can soften a person up more than the sound of little ones in the house.
Another option is Rick Nester simply had no choice to change his stripes when he and Assistant Coach Jeff Tobler switched over from being a leader of young Men toΒ leading the Girls Softball program.
Third option is that having an alter ego in Little Ricky fulfilled a lifetime dream.
A better option is that his Bride π° of 40 years final wore him down with her next level kindness. That one has some merit…
Maybe its that his Laurel Fork neighbor and relative, Kris Richardson, finally wore him out. If that’s the case, credit Ashton a bit as well.
Going full circle π΅ to 2015, maybe his Senior Class that year was so tough on their own that Rick didn’t have to fire them up. They were just that driven on their own. We might have a winner πwith that one!
