Steven Thomas

Steven Thomas enters his fifth season as Wetumpka’s head boy’s basketball coach. He returns following back to back seasons that saw the Indians host and win the area championship. Thomas’ first season with the Indians was a bumpy road, highlighted by a buzzer-beater jump shot from Demarcus Peake in overtime to win his first career Area game as the Indians’ head coach. The first two years with the Indians featured multi-sport athlete Nate Rogers. Now a UAB quarterback, Rogers was the first player under Coach Thomas to achieve 1,000 career points or more, reaching that milestone in his junior season. Last season, the Indians finished 20-8. The Indians went a perfect 4-0 in area play, marking the first undefeated area record under Thomas' tenure. The Indians beat the Percy Julian Phoenix in the Area Championship in a 78-77 overtime thriller before falling short to the Saraland Spartans 58-56 in the first round of the AHSAA playoffs. 2022-23: 15-10 2023-24: 14-13 2024-25: 21-6 2025-26: 20-8
