Every week on the Tobias & Comer Coaches’ Corner, Mark and Lee will talk to a local area high school coach to get the scoop on what’s going on with their team, how our local schools are faring on their respective pushes to bring Blue Maps back to the Gulf Coast, and everything in between.
You can catch all of it right here on WNSP.com or live during The Opening Kickoff.
In this first edition, we caught up with William Evans of Alma Bryant, an assistant from the boy’s basketball team who has been leading the Hurricanes’ girl’s basketball program after head coach Alaina Peacock has had to take a leave following a traumatic brain injury to her husband after an accident in November.
Evans over the weekend helped lead the team to a victory in a very closely contested Class 7A South Regional semifinal game against No. 6-ranked Daphne. The Grayson twins, Madi-Marie and Mari-Margret Grayson, hit back-to-back threes in the fourth quarter to aid a 10-0 run which gave Alma Bryant a 57-47 victory.
“The girls deserve all the credit,” Evans said on the success the team has been able to find in the absence of their head coach. “For everything to change so suddenly to something that was out of their control has been remarkable in my opinion. They deserve all the credit, they have focused on basketball when it’s time to focus on basketball and they have carried us.”
The Hurricanes will face No. 4 Fairhope on Wednesday morning for the right to advance to the Final Four on Wednesday morning at 9:00 a.m., a team they have not faced yet this season.
