CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Early Wednesday morning, Clarksville Academy held a signing ceremony for five student-athletes. The Cougars’ community came together to celebrate the athletes signing their national letters of intent.

“These young men jump started our program,” said Clarksville Academy football coach Scott Murray. “Without these athletes buying in we wouldn’t have been able to propel our program to where it is today. They have given us an opportunity to continue to grow and build off our recent success. Their coaches at the next level should expect these guys to be leaders on their respective teams for years to come. Clarksville could not be more proud.”
