Clarksville, a Class 3A school, will face Little River Academy. Clarksville is coached by Clyde Carlisle, Randy's father. Clyde is closing in his 1,000th career high school coaching victory. He currently ranks second in the state in wins among active high school coaches. If someone really likes basketball, you can't beat it.
Some people say it is better than the state tournament.
People say this is the best one in the state. We put the teams up in hotels and get referees from all over the state. Carlisle expects a sell-out crowd of nearly 4,000 in Wisdom Gymnasium for the event Saturday. Besides the interesting matchups of teams which could win state championships in three separate classifications, the 2 p.m. game between Evant and Calvert matches top big men. Evant has a 7-4 post who has signed with Baylor.
