Rhea is the first female head coach in the history of the Chicago Public League. She is prepared to take on all the challenges that come with being a pioneer and hopes her story will inspire other women to coach traditional men’s sports. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c546c174a5580cd79fe0e9/1632422527387-VFC56PMJD9VC80IXXIE6/konesha2_small.jpg firstfemaleheadcoach The Panthers have scored only eight points in the first two games they have played this season. But Rhea knows success cannot always be measured in wins and losses or how many points are scored. She is building something and realizes you have to start with the foundation before you can get to the penthouse on the top. Rhea has no illusions about being under a microscope as a trailblazer. She said many Black women before her faced harsher criticism when they were the first. She is just trying to take it all in stride. “There has to be a first sometime, so why not me?” https://www.jcoydenreports.com/sky-beat-wings daily 0.75 2025-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c546c174a5580cd79fe0e9/1632453573000-4QXJ2WAQ8VK69J997J8K/skywin.jpg Sky Beat Wings - Chicago Sky players celebrate their 84-61 victory over the Dallas Wings at Wintrust Arena on Thursday night in front of a crowd of 4,800 fans.

Trooper Gerald Mason was discovered by citizens in his squad car near 43rd Street on the expressway he patrolled with a bullet wound to the head. He was rushed to the University of Chicago Hospital where he was pronounced dead. An autopsy by the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled his death a suicide. His services will begin on Friday, Oct. 8 at Cannon Funeral Home 1001 Madison Street in suburban Maywood. Visitation will be at Cannon from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. On Saturday, a large procession is scheduled to leave the funeral home around 10 a.m. to take Mason’s body to Holy Rock MB Church at 5854 S. Morgan in Chicago where funeral services are scheduled to be held. Mason was a graduate of Hyde Park Career Academy and Western Illinois University. He had been an Illinois State Trooper for 11 years. Citizens can expect heavy traffic congestion in the areas where the procession will take place in Maywood and in the Englewood neighborhood in Chicago.
