Biography

 

 

 

 

 

On Friday seventeen-year-old Courtney Hensley was over the moon with joy. She had just been crowned David Crockett’s 2005 home coming queen.

 

“We said oh you look great wonderful she said don't you like my dress its kind of tight but boy I need a cheese burger”, says art teacher Kay Grogg.

 

A family friend says Hensley and her friend Cortney Beard were on their way to Walgreen’s to develop homecoming pictures. They never made it. Instead they were rear ended at a stoplight on North Roan Street, their SUV becoming engulfed in flames. Beard is at Vanderbilt Burn Center in critical condition. She had been dragged to safety.

 

“I went over and held her hand when she see me she's like Seth what happened what happened”, says school friend Seth Cochran.

 

Courtney Hensley died trapped in the fiery wreckage. The school says her loss will be deeply felt by everyone at David Crocket High School.

 

“ She was just friends with everybody there were several kids she cared very deeply about that were not your normal kids that people would care about she deeper than the surface”, says art teacher Kay Grogg.

 

Hensley’s family must now deal with this senseless tragedy.

 

“ The last thing when I went over to the house just now that her sister told me was to be sure to tell my daughter to hug each other and tell each other they love each other because that's important because pictures don't mean any thing after they are gone”, says Kay Grogg.

 

But few will forget her joy Friday night. A joy that said world here I come. Sadly that dream never got a chance to reach it's full potential.

    • Hmmmmm……doe dee doe doe….i drove the lawnmower down to practice today…….hmmmm…… we got some new faces………. One can run faster than my lawnmower in fifth gear…… a few will be disappointed come November that they jumped ship and went down to that sewage facility……. You can bet the lawnmower on that. 
    • I don't know what's going on in the town of McMinnville, but I've read this and it's disturbing.  I'm a "player" person, and I want what's best for the player. If a player gets cut off the team because she said the "F word" then good grief. I mean, come on guys. I wish there was a way for the player to transfer to a different program and just play ball. There are a lot of athletes that are stuck because they're in crappy situations regarding their team/coach. This is player just happens to be one them.
    • Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think. 
    • “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker. 
    • Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job.
