Sounds like the middle school coach deserved a shot. Also, makes it tough on the new coach if he doesn't go in and win right away because I am sure some folks in the community wanted the middle school coach to get it.

Take his time as head coach in college out and he is 100 - 79 as a high school head coach.

State semis 2 years ago and state champion the year before that.

Milan hired Coach Jason James from Kenwood High School. Is this a good hire?

wow... big news and a huge opening.

Good luck to Coach Fitch. It could be a tough spot to coach and there will be a lot of pressure after everything I read on the last coach being let go after a successful season. So the number of head coaching positions stays the same just a different school

got it

Kayla Hudson... Is she at Crockett County?

Agree. Lots of jobs open for both girls and boys and Lexington boys are the only one to make a hire. I am surprised that it is so quiet.

Any idea who is up for the South Gibson Job. I hear their girls Middle School Coach applied. Anybody else?

I have not but mainly follow West Tennessee sports

That is a great assessment!

best chance to win

success is attractive for sure. when you win they will come.

just looked at their district. Westview, Union City, Gibson County and Huntingdon will not be push overs by no means but you are right. They won't be playing Dyersburg, South Gibson, and Crockett. Region is definitely better for them. No south side.

since there is no movement. Out of the jobs open in West TN which jobs are the best? Rank Them. Open Jobs that I know about: North Side, Milan, South Gibson, USJ, Lexington, New JCM I got South Gibson, New JCM, North Side, Lexington, USJ, Milan

So South Gibson is the place to be if you are looking for a girls job in West TN. Milan also open.

Hate to hear about the girls coach having to leave that way. So both coaches left and didn't get asked to leave. That is good.

wow

Really? Why are the coaches leaving?

West Tennessee jobs are unbelievable this year both girls and boys. Jobs everywhere with very little movement? Schools will be left out if they don't move fast. I think jobs will start being filled this week and next.

Feel bad for the players!!! why can't they keep a coach? Is the coach leaving or being let go?

Her success in post season is pretty good according to her record. Region last 3 years with a sub state appearance.

Good luck to the next coach.

Just found this article from a paper called the Lexington Progress. I assume a local paper. Not sure. On Friday, March 12, 2021, members of the Henderson County School Board discussed the status of Keith Runyon as head basketball coach of the Lexington High School Tigers basketball team. After discussion, it was determined that the majority of the board at that time had decided it was time to go in a different direction with the program and to make a change with the head coaching position. Keith Runyon, who had been at the helm for the last three years, was informed that he would be relieved of his head coaching duties of the Lexington High School Tigers basketball program. In speaking with Keith Runyon after he had been informed of the decision that was made, he shared, “I want everyone to know this was strictly a basketball decision. I have done absolutely nothing unethical or immoral and I will continue to teach at Lexington High School. I praise the Good Lord for blessing me with the opportunity to coach this great group of kids. They had a great season finishing 19-8 and made it to a district championship game. I love the kids and pray God continues to bless them and grow them into young men. I sure will miss being their coach.” The Lexington Progress staff was also able to talk with the Director of Schools for Henderson County. In sharing with us, Steve Wilkinson stated, “Last Friday, the majority of the Henderson County School Board thought the LHS Basketball program needed to head in a different direction and with a fresh start. Keith Runyon was relieved of his basketball coaching duties at that time.”
