Meet my Family: I have been married to Karen Cupples for 32 years. She has worked in education for 31 years and is currently director of Special Education for Clinton City schools. We have two daughters, Kaitlyn and Kristen, and two grandchildren!! My wife and both daughters played volleyball and basketball at ACHS. All three were All State and played college athletics. 

I was blessed to be an assistant coach on a state champion my first year coaching. I coached middle school for 8 years and was assistant coach at ACHS for the boys team for 15 years.  

Message from Coach Cupples:

I have been blessed to be the head coach of the Lady Mavericks Basketball team the last 3 years. We have won 19 games twice, made the region every year and won a district tournament championship in the 2023-24 season! We have had 4 players go on to play college sports.

We have developed a culture of toughness, humility, service, and most of all unity. Our focus this year is having "Relentless Competitive Effort" every day and the success and results will come!!
