CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – District 10-AAA foes Northeast boys basketball and Clarksville met up Tuesday in the Region 5-AAA semifinals. In a win-or-go home scenario, the Wildcats made a few more plays than the Eagles did down the stretch to seal an eventual 57-51 win.
“Before tonight, we talked about how there were 32 good teams left in the state of Tennessee,” said Clarksville boys basketball coach Ted Young on the message to his players. “After tonight, there would be 16 great teams left in the state. Where do you want to be? Which of those conversations do you want to be a part of?”
In his second year at the helm, Northeast boys basketball coach Sam Young noted the degree of difficulty the feat takes considering the overall competitiveness that the district has to offer.
“It’s tough,” Young said. “Night in and night out during the regular season is just a grind. Everybody in the district can potentially beat you. There are a lot of strong coaches in this league and you have to be ready to play every night. Just getting to this point is an accomplishment in itself, but winning it is much more special.” Northeast High School boys beat Rossview for the district basketball championship on Feb. 24, 2021.
