Part 3 of 4: Hazy Workout Boundaries Likely Factored into Coach's Dismissal
Letters and interviews indicate that some Clayton students were unclear about who was permitted to participate in student workouts held at The Center of Clayton leading up to the dismissal of football coach Sam Horrell.
For weeks, the personality and reputation of one man fueled an entire community’s uprising. On May 3, Clayton High School head football coach Sam Horrell was relieved of his coaching duties by school administrators. The district released no information about the personnel decision for days, and nothing but rumors were available to fill the void. That is, until hundreds of Clayton students staged a school walkout May 6. The district could no longer afford to be silent. Administrators had not anticipated how Horrell’s dismissal would disrupt the school’s academic environment, and their lack of public explanation for why one of the school’s most popular staff members had been punished fed student dissent. On the day of the walkout, …

Great Coach Will Be Sorely Missed
The late Lee McKinney did a great deal for basketball and athletics at Fontbonne University in Clayton.
I knew Lee McKinney intimately. We all knew Lee McKinney well. I am deeply saddened by the death of this wonderful father, grandfather, husband, coach and athletic director. Lee was the personification of good sportsmanship. He cared about the athletes and their lives a lot more than he did the Ws in the score book. He built Fontbonne’s athletic program from the bench up. I never met a single person in my entire professional sports writing career who had a solitary bad word to say about Lee, who died Monday. And why would they? His attitude was 100 percent positive, 100 percent of the time. He was everybody's friend—all the time. Not so long ago, his son Dino was one of the basketball coaches at Ladue High. I always wondered where Dino’s …

UPDATE: Former Fontbonne Athlete Describes Basketball Coach Dr. Lee McKinney as Caring and Thoughtful Man
The longtime Clayton coach who served for years as the school's athletic director died Monday.
Fontbonne University basketball coach Dr. Lee McKinney was a caring man who for years effectively adopted student athletes with his wife, a former student athlete said. "He was genuinely interested in what was going on with your life," said Maria Eftink, the school's athletic director. She played basketball and volleyball at the school during the time McKinney served as coach and saw him frequently because the men's and women's basketball teams traveled together. McKinney, who had cancer, died Monday morning at his home in Florissant, athletic news director Brian Hoener said. He was surrounded by his wife, June; his two sons, Dennis and Dino; and his daughter, Dena. He had five grandchildren. A wake is planned Friday, and a funeral service…

Editor's note: An earlier version of this article incorrectly identified the team Clayton is expected to play in the semifinal round of the DC Wilcutt Tournament and the time at which the match will take place. Clayton will play Lutheran North at 8 pm. Jan. 12, according to a report by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. This article has been updated to reflect the correct team and time.

Excellent tribute, Jim. This was very sad to hear, and it's refreshing to hear your take on a man you knew well. I met Lee my one and only time this past winter when tasked to write a profile about him, and can say the meeting had a profound affect on me. His courage and strength I had read about was beyond impressive, but it was his amicable demeanor and conversation I will remember. What … more ›
