The Kentucky Colonels legacy is so iconic in the River City, that it only makes sense to look back at their most noteworthy season.
George Tinsley is without question a notable in area sports be it as an athlete, teacher, or coach Tinsley has maintained talents, abilities, focus, and determination that's hard to ignore.
