It has come to our attention that we did not post in 2025 that Alumnus Chuck Kinnebrew '71 was inducted into the Rome-Floyd Parks and Recreation Hall of Fame in 2025. Here is Chuck's quote from the Rome News-Tribune article:
Chuck Kinnebrew
After graduating from West Rome in 1971 as a state champion wrestler and discus thrower, Kinnebrew received a football scholarship from Georgia. He was one of the first five Black men to receive a football scholarship from Georgia. In four seasons, he was a standout defensive lineman for the Bulldogs.

“This hall of fame was established in 1971, and I graduated from high school in 1971, and I am 71 years old.” Kinnebrew said. “(Never) did I know that I would be here.

“Athletics did a lot for me. Athletics allowed me to push myself to places that I’ve never been before. Athletics allowed me to learn what it takes to be able to work with other people to get things accomplished.”

Got a Peaceful, Easy Feeling 🎶💚😎
