Every year about this time, many front office staff members of the Coast Plain League get very uneasy. After another summer season of baseball in the books, there is one last thing that needs to be done in order to wrap up the season: announce the organization of the year. Yesterday, the CPL announced the Forest City Owls have won organization of the year. First, I would like to commend Forest City on a job well done and having a fantastic season. James Wolfe and his hard-working staff always do a phenomenal job.
There are many things that go into an evaluation of an organization for this award. Every organization essentially is graded on many different areas. Some of these area include: post game meals, league communication, field preparation, competitiveness, and community relationship. Every organization is graded by all other organizations, specifically in-division teams. For example, it's impossible for our organization to evaluate Wilson if we haven't played them this year. We can however evaluate Wilmington, Fayetteville, Columbia, and Florence. Players, coaches, staff, and umpires fill out evaluation forms toward the end of the season. These are used, along with CPL evaluations to determine organization of the year.
Unfortunately, Morehead City did not win in it's inaugural season. But that doesn't take away from the hard work that was put in by my staff and the players on a daily basis. I want to congratulate everyone for a very successful season. The Marlins are the newest organization in the league and it will take some time to make an impact in the community and in the league. It doesn't happen over night. I think we are certainly headed in the right direction and we were extremely happy with our first season.
