Clarksville Academy will not field a girls basketball team for the 2026-27 season, as confirmed by the school's Director of Communications and Marketing, Steve Wilson. The decision stems from a lack of player participation, which has affected other athletic programs at the school, including football. The Lady Cougars, who recently hired coach Cleveland Bryant III, were set to open their season against Sycamore on November 16. With Clarksville Academy's withdrawal, District 4 will now consist of nine teams, including Davidson Academy and Nashville Christian.
