The cover feature profiled Alex Poythress, the standout Clarksville basketball talent whose game was drawing national attention — a proud hometown story following a local athlete on the cusp of a major-college and professional career.
“Customs House Renovations” took readers inside the improvements at the Customs House Museum & Cultural Center, one of the city's most treasured institutions and, as the magazine often noted, the second-largest general-interest museum in the state. “Safe Driving and Baseball Kickoff” paired a timely safety message with the excitement of a new baseball season, while “About Military Marriage” continued the magazine's attention to service families. A chicken sandwich with avocado spread rounded out the recipes, and a light note reminded readers “It's Bathing Suit Time Again.”
The recurring departments round out an April number at its most hometown-proud — following a young athlete on the brink of greatness while celebrating the museum at the heart of the city's cultural life. As spring settles in, the issue reads like a snapshot of Clarksville at its best: ambitious, rooted and looking forward all at once.
The Alex Poythress profile did not undersell its subject: model student, top academic status, a nationally ranked top-twenty recruit and, the writer ventured, a future NBA top-ten draft pick. The 6-foot-8, 215-pound forward had just finished his career at Northeast High School under Coach Al Cooper's Eagles and signed the previous fall with the University of Kentucky, taking a full scholarship and a chance to develop under prominent coach John Calipari.
