Hello Everyone,

With the growing support for this cause, I have decided to create a petition in order for the Hilo High school baseball team to hire a new Varsity head coach. This will not be easy, as Hilo High does not like to fire teachers who coach the high school team(s). But, I do feel there is enough support to get Tony Desa out. He has been a liar and deceptive person from the time I was a freshman in 2011. It is now 2016, and he still does his same unreasonable antics. He had bullied a former teammate of mines by telling him, "you're not fit to ever pitch again after that performance. Don't ever think about pitching again because you suck." Don't be fooled by this though, as that was only one of the several bullying incidents. He lied and deceived many others, not just myself. He is the reason why pitchers had arm problems and is the main reason why I tore my labrum with the amount of throwing he made us do. He also needs to be accountable for the actions of certain assistant coaches, as they wanted to fight parents and umpires too. This sets a bad example for the players and creates a bad reputation for Hilo High. He has been unfair and unjust in his actions. He is also the reason why several people have quit baseball during their time in high school. There are many victims and people that will testify against him, as the problems he has created have mounted up. So for the sake of the upcoming generations and the current generation, do the right thing and please sign the petition. High school baseball is a once in a life time opportunity and it should not be ruined by a non-qualified coach. The Hilo High baseball kids of the now and the future rest in your hands.
