HARTSELLE TIGERS
Head coach: Faron Key, 16th year overall, eighth at Hartselle Area: Class 6A, Area 14, with Cullman, Decatur and Muscle Shoals Past season: 25-4, lost to Pinson Valley in the subregional Returning starters: Senior Luke Ward and juniors Kiah Key and Ryan Dunn Returning players: Senior Dominic Simmons and junior Treyce Oden Newcomers: Junior Thomas Itsede, sophomores Kohl Key and Rylan Smothers and freshman Ty Odom Outlook: Finding replacements for Brody Peebles, the school’s all-time leading scorer, and Trent Wright will be critical to the success of this year’s team.
The Tigers will look different this season, as they have a little more size than in this past season in the post. In addition, the scoring will be spread out more this season, making Hartselle tougher to defend. Look for the Tigers to play different defense styles, rather than just their patented 1-3-1 look. Ward is the team’s leading returning scorer, averaging 11.5 points per game this past season. He hit 41 percent from the three-point range. Kiah Key, a three-year starter, will be called on to fill the shoes of Wright as the jack-ofall-trades. He averaged 8.7 poins, 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.7 steals per game this past sea-
Head coach: Gary Orr, 13th year Area: Class 6A, Area 14, with Cullman, Decatur and Muscle Shoals Past season: 25-3, lost to eventual state champion Hazel Green in the Northwest Regional finals Returning starters: Seniors Masyn Marchbanks, Maggie McCleskey and Alyssa McMinemon Returning players: Senior Leyanne Cera and juniors Karleigh Shipley, Emma Roden and Sage Patrick Newcomers: Senior Kaitlyn Hogan, junior Andra Pleasant and freshman Mary Frances Itsede Outlook: The key to this season will be how well the Lady Tigers can shoot from the outside and their ability to play great defensively. Finding ways to rebound the ball will be necessary, especially on the defensive side of the floor. In addition, building depth for the stretch run is essential. Marchbanks, who recently signed with Samford, led the team with 19.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, three assists and four steals per game this past season. McMinemon averaged

Coach speak: “It’s been a lot of fun this offseason, developing our identity and coming together on and off the court. This is a very skilled and highIQ group of young men who compete extremely hard.”

Outlook: The Bulldogs return four starters
and four others who saw significant playing time this past season. The key to this year will be the intensity and ferocity of their defense.
