Congratulations!
While Friendship Christian School
was in a ootball renzy last November
as the Commanders charged to their frst
state championship, one man on the Pos-
sum Town campus was getting more and
more antsy as FCS advanced through the
bracket.
Basketball coach Cleve Harris waswatching other hoops teams begin their
seasons in mid-November. But most o his
players were still donning ootball helmets
and shoulder pads or practice every day
and chalking up another playo victory on
Friday night.
It was a little rustrating, Harris
admitted ater his team took the schools
frst state basketball title. Even at [Christ
Presbyterian] we had great ootball teams
but we never missed a ballgame. Came
close, sometimes. And the frst year I leave
CPA and Im here coaching it happens.
Last year, I got those guys in time [ater
a second-round loss], but I still got them
pretty late.
Basketball could followvolleyball and football tochampionship
Friendships volleyball team had just
won the state, ootball was about to and
Harris had heard rumblings or months histeam could pull o the TSSAA hat trick
i he ever got his guys into practice.
I knew we actually had a chance to go
all the way, Harris said. Beore school
even started, I knew we had a shot. Sum-
mer, I made sure we played the Black-
mans, we played all the big schools that we
could fnd in the summer. We beat some o
those schools and we got beat, but it was
all really close ballgames. That was the
sign to show us we could actually do thisthing. Thats when the talk started getting
deeper and serious.
But frst, a our-month pause or oot-
ball season. Then our months became an
extra week, then another and another. It
would be fve weeks ater the scheduled
start o practice that Harris fnally got all
his guys in the gym.
Football is awesome and Im not
against ootball, Harris said. Matter o
act, i we had to do it again, I wouldnt
change a thing because o the fnal result.But as a basketball coach, you eel a
little pressure.
Football coach John McNeal didnt
hesitate to turn up the thermostat when,
in the moments ater winning the ootball
championship, he was asked by Murphy
Fair about basketball ollowing the ight
pattern set by volleyball and ootball.
We havent told [Harris] that yet,
McNeal told Fair and a statewide PBS au-
dience.
Were just very good riends and wejoke, Harris said o the longtime ootball
and baseball coach and athletic director
who joined his sta as an assistant this

winter. Hell say, I got mine, its your
time. Its a little pressure, but its un and
games.
Johns awesome. He made a big di-
erence sitting on my bench. Hes kind o
the opposite o me. Im intense. I coach the
way I want the kids to play... Sometimes
you can get way above yoursel and John,
with that really calm voice, would say
Were going to be okay. And that brings
you down to earth a little bit. That helps
me tons.
But McNeals November success
let Harris pacing the gym with the ew
non-ootball players on his roster as three
games were ultimately canceled. Only one,
a District 8-A trip to Gordonsville, was re-
scheduled.
Hoops season
finally startsFinally, on Dec. 5,two days ater Friendship
drilled Dresden 34-0 in
the BlueCross Bowl, Har-
ris gathered his ull roster
on the Bay Family Sport-
splex oor or its frst
practice. Westmoreland
was coming in the ollow-
ing night to fnally tip o
basketball season.
I had one true practice, Harris said.We beat Westmoreland [56-44], but we
didnt play very well. It was terrible. Im
so rustrated. How am I going to get oot-
ball out o these players? The hardest thing
o having hal o your team play ootball
and coming back to play basketball is the
motivation part, getting them inspired.
You just won the whole tournament,
and now Im asking you to regroup and
lets do this again.
Harris got some advice rom, o all
people, his predecessor and coach o hisbiggest rival. Watertown coach Matt Brad-
shaw had gone through the same
thing fve years earlier when the Com-
manders lost the BlueCross Bowl. Armed
with a strong senior class, Bradshaw took
his Commanders to a sectional the ollow-
ing spring.
Matt was just great, Harris said. He
talked about this is how you do it. Theyre
going to be a bit slow. You cant get
rustrated.
Trips to Clay and Lancaster prepCommanders for down the road
Next up was a trip to longtime nemesis
Clay County. The Bulldogs, who have
probably handed Friendship more region
tournament losses than any opponent dat-
ing to the 1980s, orced the Commanders
on the sectional road the previous year
by beating them in the Region 4-A fnal.Harris believes had FCS won that game, it
would have gone to the State Tournament
in his frst season.
As it was, the Bulldogs provided the
Commanders their frst test o 2011-12.
They still had lots to learn ater a 65-55
loss in Celina.
Theyre an outside-shooting team and
they had weeks to prepare, said Harris,
who cut his basketball teeth on the hoops-
mad courts o Memphis. I have to adjust
as a coach to the teams in this region. Theylove the three-point ball. They can shoot
it and teams take tons more shots than we
do. My thing is we will apply pressure and
you just won the wholetournament, now im asking
you to regroup and lets
do this again.

shoot a lot o little crib shots.
Next up was a trip to Smyrna or a game against
Lancaster Christian, a non-TSSAA school but a talented
team.
They were the best team, athletic team, that we have
played this whole year, Harris said. I we had played
[Booker T. Washington] or Lake County [in the State], we
might have met a team that was better.
Lancaster was the team that really showed us wecould actually do this thing.
Friendships 64-51 win was ollowed by a trip to
Pickett County, a school long renowned or its basketball
championships, both boys and girls. The game was origi-
nally meant to be played at the Bay Family Sportsplex,
but a conict with the ACT exam prompted a swap o
venue with a meeting at the end o the season.
Friendships 46-40 win in Byrdstown was called by
Harris the start o the season-long surge.
At least we started playing teams a whole lot better,
Harris said. Just by contesting their shooters.
Friendship faces Pope John Paul IIsize during holidays
Friendship entered the holiday season with a couple
o classics/tournaments. The Commanders won a pair o
games in East Literatures classic beore going to Mur-
reesboro or the annual Mid-State Christmas Tournament
held on a rotating basis by FCS, Ezell-Harding and this
years host, Middle Tennessee Christian.
FCS drew Division II Pope John Paul II or the open-
ing game and the Knights knocked o the Commanders
45-42. But the Commanders learned how to deal with a
dominant big man inside and fled it away or uture use.
We hadnt aced that until that game, Harris said.
They had a kid inside, he took over the game. We let him
catch it too close. That was one o the best learning game
we had because that was another piece o the puzzle that
we needed.
Three-point shooters I elt we were ready or. Big
guy dominant, we werent. We went back to practice and
we prepared how to stop somebody who is bigger.
Friendship salvaged fth place with back-to-back
wins over Class AAA Coee County and Portland to
round out the old year.The new year beganwith the District 8-A grind, inter-
rupted by an 11-point win over AAA Hillwood a get-even
45-29 triumph over Clay County at the Sportsplex and Mark Sandoval is presented with the most valuable player for Division I Class A.

another victory over Westmoreland.
FCS falters in district finalto local rival
O the district opponents, only county rival Watertown
seriously challenged the Commanders. Ater alling short
60-43 in early January at WHS, Matt Bradshaw brought
his Purple Tigers to his ormer address, the Sportsplex,
or a late-season rematch. Playing without starting pointguard Macieo Gaines, the Tigers put a serious scare in the
Commanders beore Friendship pulled out a 51-48 vic-
tory to clinch the top seed or the district tournament.
You beat a team so many times in a row, its hard to
continue to win against good teams, said Harris, who
won his frst fve games against the Purple Tigers. They
were fguring us out.
Harris enjoys a reputation as a coach who likes to
pressure and play uptempo. But he crossed the Tigers
up in their early-January meeting with the zone. When
Watertown came to Friendship a month later, it was Brad-
shaw, even without Gaines, who dialed up the press while
Harris was trying to slow it down.
Eighteen days later, the rivals met in the district fnal
at Macon County and the pressure fnally burst as the Ti-
gers won their frst league championship since 1935 with
a 49-47 victory.
Matt out-Cleveed Cleve all the time, Harris said.
Matt Bradshaw is a good guy, but hes smart... I knew he
was going to be prepared.
Harris makes vow
That game also provided Harris with his New Years
resolution as it pertained to Friendship basketball.
I said I would never, never again would I let anybody
else dictate the pace o the game, Harris said. From
now on, were going to press everybody, because thats
our game.
At the end o the game when we needed to get back
in the game, we played our way. We start pressuring.
They start turning it over. I said Hey, we couldve been
doing this all along.
Like most New Years resolutions, Harris eventually
broke this one. But not beore his Commanders fnishedo Clay County, Jackson County and Clarkrange in the
region and a young Chattanooga Arts & Sciences team in
the sectional.

Friendship finishes off ClayCounty /Harris eyes State
The Clay County matchup appeared to
be ticketed or the Region 4-A fnal. But up-
sets in both district tournaments orced the
Bulldogs to come to the Sportsplex or the
frst round.
Against Clay County, we did one o the
best jobs o fnding their shooters, makingthem shoot the ball a little aster, Harris
said. It was ater that game that I said We
got a chance to win this thing. And I wasnt
talking about region.
By taking out Clay Countys shooters,
Harris elt the Commanders could deend
most o the teams they would catch in
the State. The exceptions were B.T. Wash-
ington and Lake County. And he elt Lan-
casters athletes and PJP IIs big man were
comparable to them.
I thought we got a shot at this thing,
Harris said. But you dont want to talk out
loud too much because you eat your words.
Instead, the Commanders were tak-
ing huge bites out o their opponents. With
just their second region title [all in the last
three seasons] in their hip pocket, Friend-
ship entered its ninth sectional against a
much younger Arts & Sciences team which
ousted FCS rom this round a year earlier

in Chattanooga. This time, the Patriots had
to make the long bus ride and ace not only
Cleves team, but Cleves Crazies, the FCS
student section.
We got the sixth man advantage now,
Harris said.
And the sixth man enjoyed a Monday
night party in a 66-29 triumph to punch the
Commanders frst ticket to the Murphy
Center oor or the Boys State Champion-
ships at Middle Tennessee State University.
Harris hits jackpot inState Championships draw
In the Associated Press poll, BT Wash-
ington was ranked No. 1, Perry County No.
2 and Friendship No. 3 down the stretch
o the season. At the drawing or brackets,
Harris hit the jackpot when BTW, Perry
and deending champi-
on Lake County weredrawn into the oppo-
site bracket. Friend-
ship would catch
another revenge game
or the quarterfnal
round. Grace Baptist
had beaten Bradshaws
Commanders in the
sectional two years
ago at the Sportsplex.
We used that with
the seniors, Harris said. We are actuallypaying back all
the losses.
But what I was really worried about,
and this is something that I wouldnt say
until now that its over, I eared Grace more
than anything because or the frst time,
Friendship wasnt the underdog.
That was based on a comparison o
scores. Grace had narrowly beaten A&S in
the Region 3 fnal beore Friendship routed
the Patriots.
Basketball has nothing to do withscores, Harris said. Teams match up di-
erently. And all I could think o was that
big kid inside.
Friendship jumped to a 17-3 lead in the
second quarter beore that big kid, Cory
Nelson, knocked down 20 points as the
Golden Eagles pulled even at 32-32 late in
the third quarter. But Grace never led and
behind Allen Heastons 16 points and Dal-
ton Pattersons 13, the Commanders won
their frst game in the Glass House 52-46.
Mark Sandoval had a triple-double, not
all o the good kind. Friendships human
matchup nightmare totaled 10 points and
12 rebounds but committed 11 turnovers.
Patterson who, unbeknownst to every-
one outside the team, was playing on a oot
injured earlier in the week during a practice
at Belmonts Curb Events Center [where
Harris had taken the Commanders, along
with Lipscombs Allen Arena to get them
used to playing in a big arena] admitted
Friendship was lucky, an ingredient most
championship teams need along the way.
I was sti the whole game, all the
way to the end, said Patterson, who was
named Deensive Most Valuable Player as a
saety in the Blue Cross Bowl three months
earlier. Football is a lot easier. This is
something new, something Ive never been
through.
Nothing can help nerves, Harris said.
Nerves is something youve got to be able
to fght through.
Underdog Commanders oustMcEwen to reach state final
Friendship looked smoother 24 hours
later against McEwen in the semifnals. The
Commanders were underdogs against the
31-1 Warriors.
We are dangerous when we are under-
dogs, Harris said.
Friendships ullcourt deense helped
uel a 17-10 frst-quarter lead. It also
put several Commanders in serious oul
trouble. It was bad enough Harris broke his
resolution and held the ball or nearly our
minutes near the end o the frst hal as the
entire town o McEwen, seated in one end
the Monte Hale Arena bowl, booed.War-
riors coach Phil Ross had his own oul
issues and was fne with the tactic.But the Commanders never trailed ater
the early moments and survived a com-
bined 41 points rom Garrett Mullinicks
and Patrick Mullinicks [no relation] to
prevail 54-51 as Sandoval posted a double-
double with 21 points and 10 rebounds.
Heaston used his smooth moves near the
basket to score 13.
More than the points, Friendships
success could be ound on the glass, where
the Commanders outrebounded McEwen
25-18, negating a minus-2 in turnovers.
I dont know i any team ever
outrebounded us the whole season,
Harris said.
Meanwhile, in the other bracket, Lake
County used a miracle 75-oot shot in the
frst round to oust BT Washington beore
losing to Perry County, setting up a state
fnal showdown against the upstart Com-
manders and a Vikings program with six
championships in its history.
football is a lot easier. This
is something new, something
Ive never been through.

Harris breaks resolution inchampionship
For the fnal game o the 2011-12 sea-
son, Harris abandoned his vow made in the
atermath o the Watertown loss. Playing
on the third straight day, atigue would be a
actor on both sides.
I just knew we had to get to the shoot-
ers, Harris said. I didnt want to get intoa dogfght with a team that loves to run and
has great shooters. Lets slow it down and
control the shooters.
One o those shooters was Cannon
Rhodes, whose dad, Mike, became a Perry
County legend in the 1970s beore becom-
ing a star at Vanderbilt. Rhodes missed all
seven o his three-point attempts through
the frst three quarters as Friendship slowed
it down and led 21-16. The Vikings missed
their frst 18 threes o the game beore a late
desperation urry.It was evident, his legs were gone,
Harris said. He was shooting arther out
than usual, making bad decisions.
Perry County was tired so decision-
making was huge. We were tired, too. But
we controlled every game we played up to
that point.
It also meant controlling the crowd.
McEwen and Perry County seemed to
have brought their entire populations to

Murreesboro. Friendships an base, though very
vocal and loyal, was split during this spring break
week. The baseball and sotball teams were in Gul
Shores, Ala., and another group was in Honduras
on a mission trip. Even at ull strength, no private
school [especially one like Friendship whose old-
est alumni are just how hitting their mid-50s] has
the an base to match an entire town. At least, the
Commander baseball and sotball teams were backhome or the state fnal.
That was fne with these Commanders, who
thrived on an us against the world mentality.
This team has to be the most dangerous team
I ever coached when theyre the underdog, said
Harris, a 16-year assistant at CPA and a longtime
AAU coach. When you say they cant, they want
to prove you wrong. Thats what makes these group
o guys, not just in basketball, but in ootball with
Trousdale County [fnally knocking o the Yellow
Jackets in last alls playos ater years o utility],
getting over the edge. These seniors, any challenge,theyre going to accept. Theyre not going to back
down.
Their crowd, against McEwen, thats what
made me decide Im going to do it, Im going to
slow it down. We can keep the crowd out o the
game i we can cut their runs... I we can get the
lead, were going to keep the lead. Its going to be
hard-ought to get the lead on us.
Left out of program roster,Sandoval wins tournament MVP
Sandoval picked up his ourth oul early in thethird quarter o the state fnal and didnt return until
the start o the ourth. That extended time on the
bench kept him rom another triple-double. But the
6-4 senior who causes matchup problems when he
plays guard still led Friendships 38-34 win with
eight points and nine rebounds.
Despite being omitted rom the State Tourna-
ment program, Sandoval was named Most Valuable
Player, joining Patterson and Heaston on the All-
Tournament team as the Commanders concluded a
28-3 season.
Basketball championship forged fromother title runs
When hes not playing basketball, Sandoval is
on the tennis court, where hes helped the Com-
manders contend or the State Tournament. Other
players also play ootball or baseball. McNeal, who
was with his baseball team in Alabama and didnt
get to MTSU until Saturdays fnal, credited in part
his teams run to last springs baseball fnal or the
ootball championship.
Even while Harris was nervously twiddling histhumbs in November, his ootball guys, while going
or a championship in that sport, were helping to
lay a oundation or the basketball title.
It was a lot o carryover, Harris said. Most
coaches, ootball and basketball coaches, have
problems at a lot o schools because theyre sharing
athletes.
I would not change a thing. Coach McNeal
and my relationship is really good and I think oot-
ball is a positive i coaches use that correctly. I used
it or building toughness... mental toughness. n
