Clinch High Faces Long Odds From Mountain and Mismatched Numbers
Clinch High School in Hawkins County near the Virginia line has 49 students in grades 9 to 12 and about 25 boys. Coach Tom Russell reports a winless stretch extended for years and recalls four starters cut from the team over haircuts while other players were kicked off for disciplinary reasons. With no seniors and a 1966-67 season opening loss by 137 to 31, the program struggles as winter travel over Clinch Mountain complicates consolidation with larger schools.
