SUMMERFIELD, La. — After coaching 60 high school basketball games this season, Randy Carlisle is tired.
“But it’s a real good tired,” he said.
On Friday, Carlisle coached the boys team (22-7) at Summerfield High School to a state championship among Louisiana’s smallest schools. A week earlier, he led the Summerfield girls (30-1) to a state title, in what has been a frenetic playoff run that left him crisscrossing the state, ping-ponging from one team to the other on late-night drives and for early-morning practices.
His pleasant exhaustion came in pursuit of an achievement that is extremely uncommon, and maybe unprecedented.
