Disappointed in Local Coaches
I am an assistant coach of the White House Dixie Youth 5 & 6 Rockhounds. I am writing this letter because of my disappointment in the coaching staff of another team in the 5 and 6 year old division. Our team had been at a disadvantage since day one. We were drafted 12 players, just like any other team. Before the first practice, we lost one player. Shortly after that, we lost another. So we played our season with only 10 players, while most other teams have 12. I do have to thank 3 players from other teams that played on our team when we wouldn’t have had enough players to play. We appreciated the extra help.

Thanks from the Barnes Family
We would like to thank everyone in the White House community for your prayers and support during this difficult time. When we moved to White House in 1997, we knew this is where we wanted our children to grow up. We wanted them to know the closeness of a small community. Thank you to the White House Police Department and the faculty and staff at White House High School and to H.B. Williams Elementary School faculty and staff. Thank you to the class of 2006, you will always hold a special place in our hearts. I know Tim was proud to call you his friends.
Thanks again,
Roger, Cindy and Tom Barnes
