If Latta boys can pull off two wins tomorrow coach Eddie Collins will hold the National record for all time high school baseball wins. He’s as good as they come. I’m not a latta guy but I’m happy for the Eddie, and have a ton of respect for him. Billy Jack isn’t far behind though and I figured has a few more years left coaching than Collins.

Did not realize they play Asher. How about that. I’ve heard a lot of stories from the Bowen years. Baseball in this little tiny part of the country is as good as gets.

Eddie Collins is first an admirable man, a fine gentleman! A fine teacher of the game. Has had many tremendous players. Has built a fantastic program at Latta. I remember his first state championship at Rattan in 1981 (with a bunch of underclassmen)
A FANTASTIC COACH...CONGRATULATIONS WILL BE IN ORDER!!!!!

Billy Jack Bowen likely to be the new leader by May of 2021...COVID permitting
