Summary
On the city podcast, Mayor James said Saint Albans lost two local sports figures—Scott Tinsley (reported to have died that morning) and Roger Jefferson (reported to have died over the weekend)—and asked listeners to keep their families in their prayers.
Mayor James used the City of Saint Albans podcast to inform listeners that two local sports figures had recently died and to ask the community to remember their families.
"St. Albans lost one of their sports legends this morning. Scott Tinsley passed away," the mayor said, adding that another "legend ... in the Kanawha Valley, Roger Jefferson, passed away over the weekend." He asked listeners to "keep his family and friends in your prayers."
The mayor framed the remarks as a brief community remembrance and emphasized the impact both men had on local sports and youth programs, saying, "They were big parts of our community or this valley." He closed that portion of the podcast by asking the community to hold the families in their thoughts.
