As someone who has had sons play at the high school, college level and for Post 2 I have never seen any coach who had less respect from either players or parents. With a new coach I hope many of the parents of past players will come back and support the program.

Those of you who identified yourselves as parents - shame on you. You will be hard-pressed to find another person as dedicated to the program as Bill. Those (possibly Post 2 players) of you who continue to rant about the supposed Shanley favoritism - grow up. There were 18 players on the Post 2 roster (19 with Brady Kayes). Of the 18 full-rostered players, 4 were from Shanley. There are 3 high school baseball programs that feed Post 2: North, South, & Shanley-Oak Grove. If 4 of 18 represent one program, that is certainly not disproportional. Two of the Shanley kids (Jones & Schweigert) platooned at catcher. Was the catching position a marked improvement from 2007......I think so. Jagim and Sand led the team in most offensive categories. Where was the favoritism?
Problems? How about one of the players failing to report his "Minor in Consumption" to the team and putting the entire team's post-season at risk? How about parents stomping around at the State Tournament voicing their anti-Shanley sentiment for all to hear. I thought Post 2 was a "Fargo" team. Isn't Shanley part of Fargo?
Those of you who voiced displeasure about the Rustads.....It's clear you cannot handle their no-nonsense style. I've known both for a long time and have seen them build boys into men. Those who complain are usually "marshmallows" who are used to being coddled (by parents and coaches alike). The real world is going to shock the heck out of you.
I don't know what's next for Post 2, but I certainly hope it won't move towards trying to please the likes of some of the posters on this site. If that's the case, Post 2 may as well become a slow-pitch softball team. Bring your own hat, we'll all play, have a few laughs, and go out for wings and beer afterwards.

a roughly .730 winning percentage gets you fired. wow

When will Fargo have a second legion program?

ANNND a second team would just be stupid when fargo can't win with one team. Now we split up the teams? for what reason?...

I already feel sorry for coach Fiechtner. The guy hasn't even coached a freakin game and he has to deal with childish politics.
