CLAY — Clay-Chalkville varsity boys basketball coach Daniel Foy resigned from his position Thursday.
Foy totaled a 66-27 record in his three seasons as the Cougars coach. Foy said he has grown as a teacher and coach at Clay-Chalkville.
“I really enjoyed my time here,” Foy said.
Last season, Clay-Chalkville posted a 22-10 record, falling 65-48 at Lee-Huntsville in the sub-regional round of the Class 6A state playoffs.
During the 2012-2013 season, the Cougars posted a 24-7 record and reached the Class 6A Northeast Regional semifinals at Jacksonville State, its third trip to the regional tournament in school history. The Cougars lost to eventual state champion Mountain Brook 47-44. Clay-Chalkville lost 61-40 to Woodlawn in 2000 and fell 77-48 to Parker in 2001 at the regional tournament.
In Foy’s first season in 2011-2012, Clay-Chalkville went 20-10.
Prior to Foy’s arrival, Clay-Chalkville’s last winning season was the 2001-2002 season, according to the Alabama High School Historical Society.
