Springville Tiger head basketball coach Jeff Smith gave a preview of what to expect on the roster and court this year. “We lost three starters from last year’s team. But we have a good group of juniors that are going to be seniors this year. They know how to play and they’re used to competing.”

Last week Ragland finalized its boys’ basketball squad and today it has its first official tipoff against Ohatchee before taking on Victory Christian tomorrow

Last weekend the Springville Last Tigers began their season with a tournament at Oak Mountain.
Head coach Warren House said that his team is getting their stride together and are working on key elements in practices.

When the Pell City Lady Panthers hit the basketball court this year they will be continuing the lessons learned over their past seasons and head coach Misty Griffin said that she expects they will perform well.

While many high school players get their share of the limelight when it comes to how a community sees their achievements and how it can inspire others, most of them got their start earlier in life. Pell City’s future Lady Panthers now have a better chance of being well-prepared for their prep sports days since this year will be the first that a seventh grade girl’s basketball team will play with their middle school equals.

Darren Blakely is ready to take the reigns and continue the success of last season as the new Pell City Panthers head basketball coach.

It will be a post-season cat fight Friday as the Springville Tigers take on the Fairfield Prep Tigers in an away game.

Friday the St. Clair Saints will begin their post-season with a road game against Fayette County.
