Not sure why this is taking so long, it's only been since 1st of June when former coach resigned and today is September 29th.

I've heard that new coach will be announced within next 14 days. So much for their fall workouts.

Bobby Valentine?

What a wonderful fit that would be!


Let's get it announced all ready. The suspense week to week waiting to find out who can turn the Hilltoppers around is troublesome.

Re: Handley's new head coach is an Handley/UVA alumn

Handley did get it right, Coach Milburn, even if it took a very long time to get this finalized. Why such a wait, I wonder? Did Lilly have a short list? Anyone know?

Patrick will do just fine and he is the right guy to get this team headed in a positive direction. He's been able to soak in a lot of valuable info on how to coach the game the right way the last few years as an assistant on the staff of one of the best baseball coach ever to come out of the Winchester area, Shenandoah U coach Kevin Anderson.

Wingfield played at UVa for four years and started full-time his junior year as a third baseman. Patrick is a soft-spoken type of guy but I really believe he will get the respect of his players early on and do good things at Handley for years to come. He is young (27) but he will do fine. If Handley can ever get any quality pitching to come through, it will again be able to finish up with more wins than losses. Easy to say, I know, but I have a feeling it will happen eventually.

Best wishes ... Coach Wingfield. Oh, he also is a Handley grad (Class of 2004).

Really glad a deserving young man got the Handley job! Wingfield played next to Ryan Zimmerman at UVA. A Hit by pitch really slowed down his career. He was a sure draft pick before that happened.

Here's a tidbit


Patrick will coach against Brent Lockhart next spring, the new James Wood hire. They were teammates together on the Winchester Post 21 Virginia State American Legion Championship team of 2004. Lockart played briefly at WVU. Both will be good baseball men teaching the youth, I am sure.
