What they’re saying

“There’s probably three different tiers. We were in that middle tier to closer to the top. It depended on what kind of defense we were going to see. If we were to play man to man and matchup against any other team in the state, we’ve got a shot.”

— Ross Timmermans, Head Coach (radioonthego.com)

“Starters as freshman all the way through. Multiple broken records at the top of the record boards all time. Hannah, 919 total rebounds in her career, first all time. Second is 704. She just crushed that record. I think Hannah finished second all time in steals and third in assists all time here at Clarksville. Paige broke every scoring record. I think maybe the only record that she didn’t break was three pointers in her career. Super proud of what those seniors were able to do. Great leaders, great humans.”
