I received this email this morning. Please help if you can. You can email me with your information:

 

Long-time and beloved coach, Bill Ethridge, died suddenly yesterday of a heart attack. Bill was 50 years old. Bill was a private coach to countless pole vaulters and gymnasts for the past 20 years from all schools in Nashville and surrounding areas.

 

Bill's friends and students WERE his family. The only family we believe Bill has left is a sister who we believe lives somewhere in Georgia. Bill's employer has looked through records and not been able to find any next-of-kin noted. We desperately need to find this sister so arrangements can be made.

 

I'm hoping that you could put something on your website about this and that there may be some former students of Bill's, who became close to him, and know something about his sister - her name or where she lives.

I have had a couple of emails from former students but no one has any details about his family yet, as far as I know.

    • Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.
    • It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover. 
    • That's complete BS.  Nobody at ACHS has access to CHS student records unless a transfer is made from CHS to ACHS.  
    • Trez's last scandal has died down, so I guess this is there opportunity to be the best 4A team playing in 2A a la Sissy MTN.  At least they won't be in a Z-district with 1a teams in the regular season.
    • Facts...until someone takes down the Rebels they should be the favorite. Got loads of young guys salivating at the opportunity to prove themselves and get a 3peat! Blazer how is Region 1 looking this year?
