Intelligently delivered by Alabama sportswriters Ron Ingram and Rubin E. Grant, Tales from Alabama Prep Football captures the aura that is Alabama football while painting each page with the stateÂs prep-pigskin history.
This love affair with football hits its zenith at the college level because of Alabama and Auburn, but on Friday nights at high schools across the state, football also reaches a pinnacle. It was during high school that players such as Bo Jackson, Pat Sullivan, Bobby Bowden, Bart Starr, John Hannah, Kenny Stabler, Pat Trammell, Terrell "T.O." Owens, and Carnell "Cadillac" WilliamsÂto name but a fewÂbegan their ascent to stardom.
In Tales from Alabama Prep Football, the stories of the stateÂs rich high school football tradition will be detailed by coaching legends and gridiron greats, from family ties to dynasties and rivalries. Memorable games and performances also adorn this comprehensive collection of Alabama football, creating a history of origins for the stateÂs football sons.
Tales from Alabama Prep Football takes us into a state where football is king, making this volume a staple for any true Alabamian.
Rubin E. GrantÂs roots are planted deeply in Alabama football, dating to his days as a student at Carver High School in Montgomery, his hometown.
