Softball capsule #30 focuses on the definition of Undisputed and its relationship with Carroll County High School Athletics…

The number of things that fall under the title of Undisputed are few and far between. But Varsity Softball Coach Rick Nester is THE MAN who brought home the initial State Championship to The Hill.

To expand on this, barring a remarkable jump in population down the road, the Class 4 State title will be a ” stand alone ”  crown 👑 in addition to being the first one.

Dave Quesenberry, Cindy Edwards, and Jeff Tobler were all on the staff back in the day. Mr Chuck Thompson was our Principal and Darrin Mathews, our athletic director.

It was just a few years into a rather bizarre pairing between a tough as nails head coach with a brutal reputation for demanding the absolute best from his student athletes and the Girls Softball team. Thompson and Mathews had a vision that had many scratching their heads and jokes about the players all needing to stock up on mascara from the tears 😢😭😪.

What does it take to capture a State Championship ? A perfect blend of determined coaches and players will give you a boxers chance. Most people believe that the higher the classification, the more difficult the task is, but that is debatable, and this post 📫 is about undisputed.

Nester has something that will stand the test of time, and that is a fact ! Everyone would be fortunate to have something next to their name that will never go away. A few years ago(2023), Coach had a realistic shot at making back to the Promised Land, but staying injury free is part of the recipe for success.

The odds of winning a book end State Championship is a long shot at best, but as they say, that’s why we play the games.

A tip of the cap to fellow head coach Marc Motley and his back 2 back Championships with Alyssa Ervin and Friends, but everyone will always remember their first !

The Class of 2027 will include Addie Greene, Laynie-Jo Leonard, and Natalie Burress, who are preparing to leave their final mark on our program. Hopefully, they will do so with an eye 👁 on the history of Coach Nester and the program !
