The person who wrote the following knows absolutly nothing about George McWherter: A lady responded “to the letter of Friday, June 12, on (former Madera High baseball coach) George McWherter. I am aware that George is a nice guy and believes in Madera sports. But unfortunately time has passed him. He can’t relate to boys that age. He spent all his time with Babe Ruth and Little League.” She said, “At practices he spends all his time talking to the parents, not coaching the kids. I do know one thing, when he was hired a vast majority of varsity players and parents were shocked and dismayed.”
George is too good a coach for such … thinking. Madera lost more then a coach. They lost a builder of youth, a builder of a great institutions. What a shame, you folks don’t even know your hometown son.

to those who think 8th graders need caps and gowns..they don’t graduate from 8th they go on to 9th. I came from several other twon before this one and NONE of them do an 8th grade graduation. Maybe it was Ok in farm days when 8th grade was as far as you went but not now. Cap/gowns for HS grads only. College too of course

I was just wondering why when the entire State of California is in its 3rd year of drought, there are still several fund raiser, funeral donation etc. car washes every weekend. There are hundreds, if not thousands of people employed in the farming industry that aren’t working because the farms can’t get adequate water. Residents are on watering restrictions, yet the City of Madera is allowing multiple car washes to take place throughout the City……Why?
