Wildcats' Caldwell among the 9 to watch
By JAMES D. HORNE
The Leaf-Chronicle
Tyrone Caldwell (Guard, 6-2, Sophomore) — Clarksville High
What Caldwell says about his game: "I've been working on my jump shot a lot and been trying to be in the gym a lot of hours. My teammates have helped me and have been pushing me in practice, making and helping with my drives. I'm trying to be more effective to help my team out. I want to try to get the team more involved with my passing skills and I've been working on team defense."
What Clarksville High coach Ted Young says about Caldwell: "He scores so quietly and does it within our system. The thing we're working on now is helping him have a complete game: Delivering the ball on time to his teammates, being able to break the pressure with his dribble, one-on-one defense. The players like him, and that's when you really know you have a great player."

Tyrone Caldwell has been labeled as the next big thing to come out of Clarksville, and we're talking about the city — not just the high school. The sophomore guard is joined by Greg Bronson in the backcourt, a winning combination for the Wildcats. Kenwood could give Clarksville a fight with point guard Freeman Pinkney. Dickson County is faced with replacing Cory Pflieger and will rely heavily on all-district players Rusty Dotson and Kurt Prinn. Rossview has a 6-2 junior in Trey McCray worth watching.
