<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Class 6A Area 7 </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Head Coach: Donovan Broadnax</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Last Season Record: 5-24 (According to maxpreps.com)</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong> [player_tooltip player_id='2729414' first='Zachary' last='Allen']</strong> (6'3/CG/Bessemer City)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Zachary is an athletic backcourt talent with the ability to score in a variety of ways. He competes on both ends of the floor and will be leaned on to provide leadership and toughness. His versatility makes him a key piece in establishing the Tigers' identity this season.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2729413' first='Jacoby' last='Barlow']</strong> (5'7/CG/Bessemer City)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Jacoby may be undersized, but he plays with a big-game mentality. He is a guard who can operate both on and off the ball, bring stability to the backcourt, and be called upon as a vocal leader. Coach Broadnax views Jacoby as a tone-setter as he is a reliable and trustworthy player who embodies the culture being built at Bessemer City.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2729415' first='Joseph' last='Sheffield']</strong> (6'5/SF/Bessemer City)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Joseph is a really good wing with natural talent and perimeter shooting ability. With his size, length, and scoring versatility, he has the tools to be a matchup problem for opponents. Expect the ball to be in his hands frequently as the Tigers look for consistent offensive production.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>Key Role Players to Watch:</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Recently hired, Coach Broadnax has quickly identified Allen, Barlow, and Sheffield as cornerstone players in shaping the Tigers' new direction. These three will serve as foundational pieces in building a program capable of competing at the highest level and pursuing the ultimate goal, the blue map.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>What To Expect From The Tigers This Season:</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Discipline will be the cornerstone of Coach Broadnax's approach. He emphasizes accountability, structure, and attention to detail as essential ingredients for both team success and individual growth. The Tigers will focus on competing with toughness, executing on both ends of the floor, and holding every player responsible for doing their job.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>What Will It Take for The Tigers To Win State?</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Coach Broadnax has his eyes on building a program that can one day reach Birmingham, but he understands that the immediate priority is development. By focusing on daily improvement, both on and off the court, the Tigers aim to establish a culture of discipline, growth, and competitiveness that lays the foundation for future championship runs.</p>
