The word around the county is that Coach Junkins has been relieved of his coaching duties as girls basketball coach at Harpeth High School. Is this the truth? If so, why? They are bound to have won over fifty games in the last two years. What's up? Anyone know the scoop?

It's on television. You can see it. Most TV people talk too much anyway. Now if I were visually impaired I could have really been screwed up trying figure out what was going on out on the court.
