My point was not to diminish the accomplishment of other coaches who have won a state title like Coach Barger or Coach Sisco or made multiple state appearances like Humboldt, but to merely shed spotlight on a coach who truly maximizes his team's potential regardless of their record. From what I have observed, he is not a motivator as some coaches as that gets their team up for the "big game" but he is a teacher of the game and convinces players of their roles on the team. Every player feels they should be "the man" but Coach Angelos, although blunt, makes his player realize their strengths and weaknesses and gets them to buy into the team concept that it takes to beat more talented teams. The best compliment that I can give him, is that he is a coach's coach. He does not seek the spotlight, does not look to run up the score against inferior competition, gives credit to the kids in victory, and takes the blame in losses. I just think because he is not a West TN native, he is not given the credit and respect that he truly deserves.

Coach Angelos of Greenfield may turn people off because he can be loud and demonstrative, but he is the best coach in the district if all things are equal. He has had one or two really good players each year over the past five years, but his overall talent pales in comparison to Lake County, Humboldt, and Union City. Not at all to demean the players at Greenfield, but in just pure athletic and basketball ability, I would like to see what the coaches of the powerhouse schools could match or do better than Coach Angelos.

Birdman12, were you in Murfreesboro or Clarksville when you were "humiliated" by Northeast? I am not arguing whether or not you guys are good, because you are. I just think that your overconfidence may end up costing you a game or two.

Boy, you guys at CA sure are confident. You do remember that CA did not win the district tournament last year right? I guess Houston County failed to instill humility in your team. McEwen barely lost to you at your gym last year and they have almost everyone back. NCS has a hall of fame caliber coach and their entire team is back. Who does CA have that is going to match up with Woodard from East? He can drop 40 on almost any team. We will see how you perform under all the expectations from being a "great team"

Clarksville Academy, not Columbia Academy Box Score 1 2 3 4 FINAL Clarksville Academy (18 - 4 - 0) 18 16 20 21 75 Sycamore High School (11 - 12 - 0) 10 14 9 15 48

CA beat Sycamore by 27 and HC beat Stewart so I think the competition for 10-A is just fine.

Who won the Stewart-Creekwood boys game Tuesday? There have not been any scores posted.

McEwen is 5-7, Jo Byrns is 4-8

On paper it looks like Clarksville Academy may be a little better, but putting up points against non tssaa private schools is not that impressive. Let's wait on the state tournament talk until you actually win against a tssaa school and beat someone in the district for a change. Jo Byrns and NCS look to be the class of the district. It looks as if 3-7 could be in any order and will probably be separated by only one game. Jo Byrns starts district play soon, and it will put them in a hole if the football team continues to win. Houston County has beaten two aa teams, so it is hard to believe that they will finish last.

The guy from Clarksville Academy may be as good as you say, I don't know, I have not seen him. Unless he can defend five people and can score against five people, I don't see things changing much with how they have done in the past.

yeah I would have to agree that anyone who would transfer to Clarksville Academy would probably be mediocre at best. Anybody know where regionals are this year?
