CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Northeast High School has announced the hiring of Eric Young as their next head boys’ basketball coach, following the departure of Ivard Brimley in April.
Young will now take over as the head coach for NEHS after serving as an assistant from 2018-2021 and previously serving as the head middle school boys’ basketball coach.
Young played basketball at Austin Peay for two seasons from 2003-05, appearing in 57 games, and played two seasons of professional basketball overseas in Scotland.
