Senior Karlie Bearden's quiet leadership has made an impact on the Lady Tigers basketball team over her four years of playing under Head Coach Steve Sweat. Consequently she's developed into what Sweat calls a "player-coach" and it's that leadership that has earned her the title of Player of the Year in Region 7-AAA for the 2015-2016 season. Over those four years Bearden has averaged 15 points per game with a career total of more than 1,200 points.
