If any of you remember Kyle James one of the best wrestlers to ever come out of this area and a proud Soddy Daisy boy, he lost everything when his house burnt down Saturday night when all of us were celebrating the end of the State duals and championships for any of the teams we cheer for.  You can go onto Alexy Winesburgh page on Facebook and find out how to help!  Kyle's family has been friends of me and my dad's for many years(my dad and his dad before I was ever born) and if not for some medical issues I have a feeling he would have been an Olympic qualifier as he was working out of Colorado for a few years after high school getting ready to compete!   Alexy said venmo is @ulric-winesburgh   last four digits are 0797.   Thanks guys!

Kyle was a freak in high school. When I watched him I called him the spider bc of the way he could use his legs to spin around to dominate opponents and for  pins. Kid could put you in a web fast. He was fun to watch and an elite wrestler that absolutely had a shot at the Olympic trials . Sending prayers for him and his family.

Terrible. And thanks for the heads up. Don’t know him but would love to help. 

One of the nicest families in wrestling, thankfully he lived right down the street from family so he was able to get out and down to their house. Was a 3 time state champ and Fargo AA before TN had many of those. If not for his health issues I do think he would have been an Olympic qualifier for the US.  Thank you!

Yeah heard Shawn Cordell was the wrestler he was basically because of him. Hung around Yost and Bosken for awhile (basically lived with them). Said he was arguably one of the best to ever come out of TN. Sucks hearing that about him.

Yeah, he went from not placing as a freshman and that was the year Shawn was runner-up at 103 both as freshman. Kyle won the next year at 103 against Danny Coleman with a pretty loaded 103 bracket and Shawn won at 112. The next year Kyle beat Shawn in the finals at 119 6-1 before Kyle won his senior year at 125 when he tech-falled Kelly Felix at the end of 2nd period with a bracket that Travis Creagan finished 3rd. He then went out to Colorado to train before having to come back home. My dad went to school with his dad and we’ve kept up for years with our racing. Just great people!

Shawn was a 3X State Champ

 

 Freshman State Champ at Red Bank

 Sophomore State Champ at Bradley

 Junior runner up

 Senior Champ

Yes my bad Shawn won that freshman bracket in 2001, 2002, lost to Kyle as a junior and won as a senior!  Him like Casey Cothron a few years before left Red Bank to go to Bradley

      Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      By Summit22 · Posted

      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.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By BDURHAM · Posted

      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.
