TN Game Report: Creek Wood @ Clarksville
June 8, 2018
On Monday, Creek Wood traveled to Clarksville to play a doubleheader, of which we were on site for the first game. This kicked off our summer coverage. At this stage of the calendar, with 2018 rankings complete, we will not be writing up committed 2018’s (we will still write up uncommitted 18’s w/ video on their profiles) unless it is Scouting Director Tim Kay’s first live look at them in the calendar year. We saw Clarksville in February (previously evaluated here) and weather on this day was in the 80’s to 90’s with sunny weather. For a look at standouts, read below:
