Sad news for Owen County and the 8th Region this morning as longtime Owen County Lady Rebels coach Bob Osborne passed away after a yearlong battle with ALS.

Rest in peace Coach Osborne.

Dang, that is horrible news. RIP Coach, it was always a pleasure dealing with you over the years.

RIP Coach

I was so sorry to hear about this earlier today. Coach Osborne seemed like such a class act who always cared about his players. My condolences to his family, friends and community.

Rest easy Coach Osborne!

One of the classiest coaches in the 8th Region. Met him many years ago when he was an assistant to Delmas Castle, and grew to know him as a friend over the years. Great coach, great guy, and greatly missed.

I saw a post from Anderson County Coach Clay Birdwhistell that former Owen County Head Coach Bob Osborne has passed away on Saturday. Coach Osborne had had some medical issues over the past few years and succumb to those over the weekend.

 

A recent member of the 8th Region Hall of Fame and Owen County Hall of Fame, Coach Osborne has touched so many players, coaches, families and friends. Please keep them all in your thoughts and prayers.
