MONTGOMERY, AL – The Alabama High School Athletic Association has named a new executive director. Alvin Briggs, who has been on the executive staff of the AHSAA since 2011, will take over for Steve Savarese, who served as Executive Director for the 15 years before announcing his retirement in April. I believe Mr. Alvin Briggs in the person who can meet the challenges the AHSAA will face in the coming years ahead with the same commitment to the AHSAA mission as the four executive directors that came before him, said AHSAA Central Board of Control president Van Phillips. He attended high school in the AHSAA where he was an outstanding student-athlete who went on to represent his family, school and the AHSAA well at the college and professional level.

B.A.S.S. announces first high school combine
Wednesday, May 19, 2021
B.A.S.S. officials announced today that 100 high school anglers will have the opportunity to showcase their talents in front of colleges during the inaugural Abu Garcia Bassmaster High School Combine, which is set to debut Oct. 15-17 on Wheeler Lake in Decatur, Ala.
This is something we have dreamed of for years, said Hank Weldon, senior manager of the B.A.S.S. College and High School program. B.A.S.S. is constantly looking for ways to grow the High School and College platforms and give young anglers opportunities to excel not only in the sport but also in the industry. What better way than to give college coaches a chance to see all of the skills these high school anglers possess and possibly award scholarships?
