I would like to offer my heartfelt sympathies to the family of Clarence Sims.

We were PHS basketball teammates in the fall and winter of 1969.  Clarence was quiet and respectful to everyone, and he had a good sense of humor and a big smile.  Clarence was a great athletic and added strength, poise, and hustle to our team.  He was a marvel with a football as well, and was as punishing a runner as would ever grace a PHS football field.  He was in large part the reason for the 9-1 success of the 1969 PHS Football team.  May his memory live on in all who knew and respected him.
