—Every single part of this Shelby County baseball story is insane.

Carroll had one son who was a player at Collins High School and another son who was a teacher and coach at Shelby County High School.

His player son hit a grand slam.

“Next thing I know, I’ve been told I was on the field and I was jumping up and down celebrating with my son on home plate,” Carroll said. “I’m like ‘No, watch the video.’”

Next thing you know his son, Jonathan Carroll, the teacher and coach at Shelby County High, was going after him.

Photos were taken by Sentinel-News sports editor Derek Brightwell of the incident.

“Your own son charged you?” I asked.

“Yes he did,” Carroll said. “Very disheartening. Very heartbreaking. I don’t know what happened to him. I’ve never seen that part of him in my lifetime. He charges me. Umpire tries to get in his way. He shoves the home plate umpire two, three times, and the next thing I know, two deputy sheriffs go through the gate to try to corral him.”

Next thing you know, Carroll, the father, was being walked off the field by two deputies and thrown out.

And it wasn’t over.

“Jonathan’s mom, she grabs me by the back of the shirt, turns me around, sticks a finger in my face and says ‘If you had any decency, you would not cheer for one son over another,’” Carroll said.

Jonathan’s wife entered the fray.

“She threatened to kill me,” Carroll said. “Threatened to put a bullet between my eyes.”

—Jeff Brohm says the goal for Cardinal football is to build for the future, but also to win now.

“For sure, on paper, we’ve made a lot of strides,” Brohm told reporters after an event honoring the Brohm family and its contributions to sports in the city at Louisville’s Frasier History Museum Tuesday night. “We’ve made some new additions that we think can help our football team, and be a big part of helping us find a way to win. You’ll never know for sure until they get here, what exactly they can do and how they will fit in. But to this point, I think we have brought in some good young men that are good teammates, that are going to work hard, that are going to want to do their part to build this program.”

Brohm and his staff have built a recruiting class in the classic 2023 fashion – through the portal. It’s 21 transfer additions form a class ranked No. 10 nationally and No. 3 in the ACC (behind Florida State and Miami) in transfer rankings.

It’s not just a reflection of the state of recruiting today, but in the need to win immediately.

“I feel like as a staff we’ve addressed as much as we can,” Brohm said. “We’ve been committed to trying to improve our team with the development of our guys here, and adding new pieces, figuring out ways to attract the top prospects to come and be committed to building this football team. . . . The goal is to win now.”
