Former Plainsmen appreciate how coach pushed them to succeed
Randy Robbins tells a story that illustrates a reason for Bobby Moegle’s coaching success.
It was 1987, Robbins had just thrown a one-hitter to help Monterey beat Lubbock High, and the Monterey coach stopped short of being satisfied. Way short. Never mind that the Plainsmen had won easily, by the 10-run rule.
“Afterward, we ran 20 foul poles, because we weren’t competing,” Robbins said. “He wasn’t about winning. He was about competing. If you went out and competed, he was happy. But if you didn’t compete, it didn’t matter if you won or lost, he was not very happy.”
