If we don’t SUPPORT our own, who will?
The Black Coaches Association proudly congratulates both NBA Finals head coaches, Mike Brown and Mitch Johnson.
History will be made as two Black head coaches meet on basketball’s biggest stage in the 2026 NBA Finals.
This opportunity has only happened a handful of times in NBA history, making this moment even more significant for the game and for the next generation of coaches who aspire to lead at the highest level.
No matter the outcome, one thing is certain:
A Black head coach will be crowned NBA Champion.
We celebrate the leadership, resilience, preparation, and excellence that both coaches have displayed throughout their journeys.
Good luck to Coach Brown and Coach Johnson.
They WIN. WE WIN. ✊🏾🏆

Coach Brandon Easterwood joins Pell City as assistant varsity boys basketball coach and assistant baseball coach. He posted an 85-39 record over the past 4 seasons at Springville, reached the 2023 Sweet 16, and won St. Clair County titles in 2025 and 2026. 2 Blue Maps in 🥎
Every head coach knows this:
A great assistant changes everything.
They lift your culture.
They protect your standards.
And they determine how far your team can really go.
Deion Sanders: “I tried everything. Parties, women, buying expensive jewelry... Nothing helped. There was no peace, just emptiness inside.
When I found Christ, I found what I had been missing all those years.”
Out of an abundance of caution due to threats of severe weather, all Pell City Schools will dismiss early at 2:00 p.m. today.
In partnership with the St. Clair County EMA, we have been closely monitoring weather conditions. This decision was made with the safety of our students, families, and staff as our top priority.
Bus riders will be transported home on their respective buses at the early dismissal time. All other students should be picked up at 2:00 p.m. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
Also, please note that tonight's Senior Awards Banquet has been postponed. We will share rescheduling information as soon as it is available.
Stay safe and weather aware this afternoon.

One of the hardest parts of coaching:
Letting go of who you want a player to be and coaching who they actually are.
Great coaches adjust.
Kudos to Chris Finch for saying it out loud.
Pell City High School Boys Basketball is looking for summer play dates in the Birmingham area between June 1st-June 17th. DM me if you have any availability.
Got to experience one of the best fundraisers I’ve ever seen. 250+ incredible vehicles and a great chance to meet so many wonderful community members. What a testament to Coach Hufford and the wrestling program. Truly outstanding. #WeArePC
We’re excited to welcome Dr. Harley Lamey as our new Athletic Director and Keyon Williams as our new Pell City Boys Basketball Coach!
Both bring valuable experience and leadership to Pell City Schools, and we believe they will play an important role in helping us continue to pursue excellence both on and off the field. We are looking forward to the impact they will have on our student-athletes, our programs, and our community!
Welcome to Pell City!
