Posted - 03/08/2018 : 01:51:36 Hi, my name is Danny West from Quitman, MS. Clarke Academy is where I played HS football at from 1976-1979. School closed in 1986 due to low enrollment. We played our games at the old Pachuta football field. We kept nickname Tigers that Pachuta had. Pachuta closed in the late 50s & merged with Quitman. Tommy Davis was the coach at Pachuta in 1955-56. In ?56 they beat Taylorsviile 21-7 for the Rebel Conference Championship. Coach Davis would later coach at Heidelberg & Columbia where he coached Walter Payton his senior year. Now back to Clarke Academy which existed 17 years & to the best of my recollection had 2 winning seasons & 1 break even season. The dominant academy team was Heidelberg which closed in 2016. It?s depressing to drive by old football field because it?s all grown up now with trees & bushes. |
