I played at Barbe from 96-99 ( Im also in the college pictures and pro ball pictures on the wall in the video). We dressed in the parking lot while I played there but were ranked #1 in the nation my senior year. Coach C is exactly as he comes across. Barbe's success is not about the facilites, the uniforms, or the amenities. Its Coach C. The passion and love he has for the game and his players (while they are there and after they leave) is the special sauce. I love that man like a father. He truly teaches you how to win at baseball and win in life!

We play them every year that coach has energy and I love playing them finally beat them after 3 years of playing against them.

[@funkeymonkeyy3428]

This is the best way to put it, I graduated in 2020, and he still treats me as if I’m one of his own! I’m still playing thankfully, and he would do anything to make sure that I’m taken care of when I need to put in the extra work etc. when I’m home!

[@concernedcitizen2031]

I love that it is a natural grass playing surface. So many High Schools are pushing to turf and it is just not safe for kids or adults. For those that will come back and say no its not, look at every professional sport, unless they are in an indoor stadium without a retractable roof or a playing surface that can come out of the stadium (Arizona Cardinals), it is grass because no turf gives like grass and instead of giving turf will catch and cause terrible injuries at all levels of play.

The baseball field is badass because the Coach has created a winning culture and has the community bought in to sponsor this program through decades of fundraising by the parents to build these amazing facilities.

The school is massive, but it mainly looks good from the outside. that being said, in 2021-2022, they started giving every student a personal laptop to help with homework, projects, etc. plus its been 2 years since i graduated so i assume they're working on stuff, but i dont think its gone too far by now

Not to mention the infestations, and how a lot of the upstairs hallways look like repurposed parking garages.
