Before taking over the Bessemer City program in 2019, Zoe lead the Calera Eagles for three seasons posting a 16-18 record including a pair of playoff births. He began his Alabama high school coaching career at the helm of the Montevallo Bulldogs program from 2012-2015 leading the 4A program to a combined 13-29 record and a trip to the second round of the AHSAA postseason in 2015.

Zow’s head coaching record currently stands at 37-50 over eight seasons with a 24-25 mark in region play and four postseason appearances.
