About Berry College Basketball
Berry basketball demands intensity. You show up ready to compete or you don't show up at all. Coach Mick Hedgepeth runs a Southern Athletic Association program built on fundamentals, toughness, and accountability. He recruits players willing to outwork their competition every single day. Mount Berry isn't a shortcut. It's a place where your game gets sharper, your conditioning gets tested, and your basketball IQ rises. Division III hoops requires different preparation than you might expect—the pace is relentless, spacing is tight, and decisions happen in half-seconds. Berry's program conditions you for that reality from day one. You'll compete against quality opponents in a league that respects grit and execution. There's no hiding behind size or athleticism here. Everything gets exposed. Everything gets refined. Hedgepeth's teams play with structure and purpose. Ball movement matters. Defensive assignment matters. Effort matters most. The recruiting clock keeps moving. Programs fill rosters fast. If you're serious about playing college basketball—if you want to develop under a coach who cares about your growth as a player and student—you need to move now. Berry doesn't wait for players to get ready. Ready players get the opportunity. The recruiting process rewards players who can demonstrate consistent growth and readiness. Florida Coastal Prep's training environment in Fort Walton Beach, FL is designed to produce exactly that profile. Explore the program at floridacoastalprep.com.
