Editor’s Note: Yesterday, the Shelby Star once again covered up for bad news at Cleveland County Schools. The Star article, titled “Crest football coach Jim Sosebee resigns after two seasons. Here’s what we know,” was a coverup through and through. And the Star had to know it.
The Shelby Star is no longer in Shelby. They have no offices or reporters in Shelby or Cleveland County. Most all they write about now are “Press Releases” from Cleveland County Schools, the Cleveland County Commissioners, Cleveland Community College and other information that Is provided to them from other sources. And, we know for a fact that CCS, the Commissioners, CCC and others only provide “good news” materials for the Star to put their name on and publish. As if it actually was real news to begin with. In this case, when the Star says “Here’s what we know” in the title of an article, they are 100% honest. But even that is deceptive. What they mean is “Here is what we know because that is all that was sent to us. And, we don’t investigate for ourselves anymore.” Folks, Robert A is going to give you the REST of the news. Which is the Truth of the matter that the CCS Superintendent, School Board and others left out.
Folks, Jim Sosebee, the Crest High School Head Football Coach had a good win-loss record and that appears to be all of what the CCS Superintendent and Robert Queen’s Majority on the CCS School Board (Robert Queen, Joel Shores, Ron Humphries, Rodney R=Fitch, Greg Taylor and Walter Scott Spurling) wanted you to hear. What THEY left out was the real story. The TRUTH of the Matter. Just like they did with the Senior Prank at Burns High School. Where the criminal acts were covered up to protect the big mistakes of the BHS Principal. And Queen, et al, blamed it all on Danny Blanton and Ronnie Grigg for speaking out.
But Robert A doesn’t cover up for anybody. The truth is the truth and Robert A is getting ready to give you the TRUTH as HE knows it.
- Coach Jim Sosebee had a criminal record that was either not checked out or was ignored by the CCS HR Department when Sosebee was hired several years ago. The link found below in this article shows a South Carolina TV News Report regarding Jim Sosebee. If Robert A can find such as this, where has Cleveland County Schools been?? And that is their job. Part of their job anyway. Keeping Criminal away from CCS Students. On this account, the CCS Superintendent and the School Board are found totally lacking in competence and judgment.
- According to source reports (gossip) Coach Jim Sosebee is the prime suspect in a $43,000 “shortage” in a recent “Half-and Half” fundraiser raffle that was intended to go toward the CHS Football team and related expenses.
- There are allegations (Gossip) that CCS Coach Jim Sosebee would make large purchases of illegal drugs and engage his football team players to distribute and sell these drugs to CHS students and others.
Folks, none of this was released by CCS Superintendent Stephen Fisher, School Board Chairman Robert Queen or any of his Waterboys, Joel Shores, Ron Humphries, Rodney Fitch, Greg Taylor or Walter Scott Spurling. ALL you heard from THEM are the cover-up story that was strictly related to football scores!!!
OK folks, Chew on what you just read for a few hours. Robert A’s NEXT article will be about the GUN found at Shelby High School this past week. And a review of the recent Bomb Threat at Shelby High School. And tie all three of these incidents into the dirty political tricks that they are. All intended to fool the public into re-electing Robert Queen, Joel Shores, Ron Humphries, Rodney Fitch, and Greg Taylor back onto the CCS School Board. And how the Rogue Republicans are back to their old political dirty tricks.
Folks, beware of the “flyer” sent out to everybody in Cleveland County saying that Robert Queen, Joel Shores, Ron Humphries, Rodney Fitch, and Greg Taylor are the only Conservatives on the CCS School Board 2024 Republican Ballot.
In fact, that “flyer” being mailed out, titled Conservative Voter Guide is listed as “Paid for by The Traditional Education PAC,” but, in reality, the “flyer” is the contrivance of Pam Keller, the CCGOP Treasurer, and one of the original Rogue Republicans associated with Dennis Bailey, Robert Queen, et al, and all the turmoil, strife and corruption that erupted in the School Board elections of 2022. Where the Renegade Republicans lost by a big margin, but never learned their lesson.
Also, the flyer mentions “Traditional Education” but a traditional education under those Pam Keller supports has done NOTHING for Education. It is on record that over half of CCS Public School students are below grade level in reading and math. If that is Traditional Education, folks, we must ALL turn away from that.
The solution is this: (and Robert A always offers a solution to the problems he writes about) is this: Select the School Board Candidates you vote for from this list of SIX Candidates, Select YOUR best Five. And mark your ballot accordingly. (Be sure to only mark Five. It is a shame there are not six seats open for election. WE could get rid of Walter Scott Spurling while we were at it.)

- Kenneth A. Ledford
- Sheila Canipe
- Matthew Canipe (No relation to Sheila)
- David Fisher
- Jay Carpenter
Also, Folks, don’t forget to vote for Robert A. Williams for Cleveland County Commissioner. Robert A has always been a friend of GOOD educational programs and would hold the CCS School Board accountable, no matter who was on the School Board.
