I looked up the population of McKenzie and it was over 5000. A town that size should have a highschool with about 800-1000. Jamestown is 2300 and the school has about 500 and is 2A.  How can there be only 367 in the school?

Those numbers are skewed. I have been in education for almost 25 years and don’t know of a single town of 5000 people with 800-1000 in the high school unless it was a county school. McKenzie is a city school. Also you have a college in McKenzie (Bethel) that adds to the population of the town. McKenzie has been 1A or 2A for a long long time.

Huntingdon population is about 5000 and has 400 kids. McKenzie has always been 1a or small 2a. There are 5 high schools in this county. Bruceton, Clarksburg, West Carroll, McKenzie and Huntingdon. Congrats to McKenzie. I thought they only shot like that against Huntingdon.

Total kids across elementary, middle, and high they probably have 1000 but not high school alone. TSSAA determines classifications based on high school enrollment Einstein.

Steph Currie hadn’t got nothing on them right?? The way they shoot it man on the outside looking in makes you think they picked out about 6 or 7 players from a 1000 school enrollment.

Yeah I noticed that Huntingdon missed single A by 4 students with this last classification.      LOL

Fentress, with some going Clarkrange and some to York, has about 19,000 total in county.

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
