HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A longtime Hendersonville High School football coach died on Sunday.
Anthony Lake, 54, was a coach for the Hendersonville Commandos for over two decades in addition to being a teacher at the school. Lake also played quarterback for the Commandos as a student and led them to their first TSSAA playoff appearance in 1988. He went on to play baseball at Birmingham Southern College.
Lake is survived by his wife, Heather, and children, Chase and Ashelyn.
A visitation and celebration of life will be held at the Hendersonville High School gym on Sunday, August 2.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
