“There’s not a lot of firsts at Clarksville High,” said Clarksville boys basketball coach Ted Young. “This is my seventh one that I’ve gotten to be a part of and each one is special. The four road games we had to win got us ready for tonight. This Franklin team was the most difficult I’ve had to prepare for all year. All five of their starters can do everything offensively.
