BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - The Birmingham Athletic Partnership created a Coach of the Year award in memory of former Wenonah Basketball Coach Emanuel Bell in 2019, but this year, theyâre adding another legacy to his name.
The Birmingham Athletic Partnership has created the Coach Emanuel âTubbâ Bell Scholarship that will be awarded to a senior basketball player within Birmingham City Schools.
âWeâve tried to honor coaches to follow him and now weâre trying to give something back to the student-athlete that have played the game through his name also,â said Toney Pugh, Executive Director of the Birmingham Athletic Partnership.
