A longtime coach is making his return to competition this fall at Fenwick High School. Kyle Perry, who coached boys water polo from 2012 to 2023, has taken over the Friars’ boys golf team, replacing another longtime coach, Jerry Kribs. 

“I am excited to be [varsity] head coach,” said Perry, who served as the head coach of the junior varsity team and was Kribs’ varsity assistant the last three seasons. “Having worked with Coach Kribs over the past few seasons, he has left me with a great group of gentlemen. These guys love to play golf and love to grind out results.” 

Fenwick returns seven golfers from last season: seniors Ryan Brennan, Johnny Cox, Aidan Haefner, Conor Hanley, Michael McMahon, and Luke Sherlock; and junior Alex Kulisek. Newcomers are freshman Marco Cefalu; juniors Clayton Dine, Danny O’Donoghue, James Papp, and Jay Raber; and senior Lee Sheahan. 

West Virginia Wesleyan was picked fourth in the Mountain East Conference preseason South Division poll, which named Wheeling and Charleston as the North and South favorites based on votes by the league’s 11 head coaches.

Part of the proceeds from an upcoming baseball game will go to help a local athlete recovering from a serious injury.

Mississippi College Athletics says that half of the money from “Choctaw Night” next Tuesday at Trustmark Park, the home ballpark of the Mississippi Mud Monsters, will support Grayson Foster with medical expenses.

Foster, a track-and-field athlete at Mississippi College, was critically injured in a single-motorcycle crash in June and left the ICU earlier this month. As a result of that crash, Foster had one leg amputated; meanwhile, his right arm was fractured and surgically repaired.

The Mud Monsters host the Gateway Grizzlies on Aug 26. Gates open at 5:30.

Warsaw volleyball won 11 matches last season, which was the most for the program since at least 2009 when MSHSAA started keeping records online.

This season, the Lady Wildcats are poised for an even bigger season.

“The Warsaw Ladycats return to the court this season with a veteran roster and a clear sense of purpose,” Warsaw head coach Kelsi Brosnahan said. “With nearly every varsity player returning from last year’s squad, expectations are high for a competitive and cohesive team performance throughout the season.”

The returning players include: Hailey Ferguson (senior opposite), Adison Sherrill (senior middle blocker), Kaleby Stevenson (senior setter), Maylee Slavens (junior middle blocker), Madyson Reimund (junior outside hitter), Elizabeth Winters (junior setter/opposite), Sara Miller (junior libero) and Julianne Kilgore (sophomore outside hitter/defensive specialist).

Brosnahan on Ferguson: “A strong blocker with excellent court awareness, Ferguson brings experience and a steady presence to the right side.”

Brosnahan on Sherrill: “One of the team’s most efficient hitters, Sherrill is known for her smart decision-making and ability to place the ball effectively.”

Brosnahan on Stevenson: “A quick and reliable setter who runs the offense with precision and tempo.”

Brosnahan on Slavens: “A dynamic two-way player who excels at reading hitters and forming an effective block, while also contributing as a powerful attacker.”

Brosnahan on Reimund: “A consistent offensive threat who also brings positive energy and leadership to the court.”

Brosnahan on Winters: “Versatile and effective in both setting and blocking roles, Winters provides additional depth and consistency.”

Brosnahan on Miller: “Fast and instinctive, Miller anchors the back row with strong defensive coverage and digging ability.”

Brosnahan on Kilgore: “After contributing primarily on defense last year, Kilgore has emerged as a versatile player capable of impacting the game at the net as well.”

Slavens is the top returning hitter with 155 kills last year followed closely by Sherrill (152 kills) and Reimund (140 kills). Winters and Reimund were strong serving with 39 and 37 aces, respectively. Sherrill had a team-high 38 blocks followed by 37 from Slavens. Winters had 425 assists and Stevenson had 309.

“Team cohesion and mental toughness are expected to be Warsaw’s greatest assets this season,” Brosnahan said. “With an experienced lineup, the team has developed strong chemistry and the ability to persevere through challenging stretches of play. Since our whole team is practically returning, we know how to play together, and we don’t give up easily. These girls know how to push through fatigue, outlast tough teams, and support each other in high-pressure moments.”

Warsaw travels to Warrensburg for a jamboree on Aug. 26 before opening the regular season on Aug. 28 at Cole Camp.

“I expect the Ladycats to compete at a high level all season long,” Brosnahan said. “My girls are fighters. They’ve put in the work, and they know how to dig deep when the game gets tough. I believe it’s going to be a really good season for Warsaw Volleyball.”
