WINONA, Texas (KETK) – The Winona ISD board unanimously voted to appoint Kenneth Cook as the athletic director and head football coach on Thursday.

SMALL TOWN SALUTE: Winona established after Baptist church organized

In February, Cook became the interim athletic director and head football coach, taking over for Keylon Kincade.

According to a release, Cook has served at Winona High School as defensive coordinator, head track coach and U.S. history instructor during the past seven years.

Now the Gilmer High School graduate will lead the Winona Wildcat Athletic program, and Cook said he is grateful for the opportunity to continue serving the district.

“[Cook] emphasized his commitment to upholding the values of sportsmanship, teamwork and integrity while striving for excellence in every aspect of the athletic program,” Winona ISD said.

Rad AI, a startup that helps radiologists save time on report generation, raises $50M Series B from Khosla Ventures
In 2017, Vinod Khosla told CNBC that the job "of the radiologist will be obsolete in five years." While the founder of Khosla Ventures later revised that timeline to as long as 15 years, he maintained that AI image recognition could soon diagnose disease on scans better than human doctors. Seven years later, radiologists are still required to interpret most scans (even if AI software helps them); the more immediate challenge is the shortage of these doctors in the United States and around the world.
