Alabama All-Star Team Roster Announced for 33rd Alabama-Mississippi Football Classic

A roster, including 26 players already com- mitted to Division I-A schools, has been Kristian completed for the 40-player Alabama All-Star Story Team that will face Mississippi in the 33rd annual Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Football Game Dec. 14 at Hattiesburg on the campus of the University of Southern Mississippi. The roster, comprised of current high school seniors, was announced Oct. 2 by Ja- mie Lee, Director of the Alabama High School Athletic Directors & Coaches Associ- ation.

Volleyball Teams Should Check Rosters On-Line With AHSAA area volleyball tourna- ments set to begin Oct. 21-22, member- school coaches, athletic directors and principals are urged to check the school varsity roster online in C2C. To be compliant with AHSAA regula- tions, all rosters should list the maxi- mum 15 players set to participate on that team. Each player’s jersey number, position, height and grade in school are required to be listed. Recent inquiries by schools have shown several schools are needing to update their rosters online. While it is the responsibility of the host school for reporting score results after each contest, all schools should check their schedules and make sure all matches played, regular season and tournaments, are listed on the team schedule with results posted. Results will be needed for area seed- ing tie-breakers. Failure to have the games and results listed could result in a fine.

AHSAA SPORTSMANSHIP PHOTO OF THE MONTH

Holly Pond Player Teaches Life Lesson Through Act of Kindness Holly Pond High School junior middle lineback- er Andy Garcia (42) jumped quickly to the aid of Danville opponent Jack Waddle during the Broncos-Hawks varsity football game at Dan- ville Sept. 27. Waddle collapsed with leg cramps and Garcia assisted until the athletic trainers were able to reach the player. His act of kindness for his opponent was cap- tured by Danville photographer Amy Welborn Sherrill and shared with the AHSAA by Dan- ville head football coach Shannon McGregory. The photo was also shared on social media and in newspaper accounts in the Cullman Tribune and has since gone viral with Garcia’s kindness has won the admiration of thousands who have viewed it. Fans on both sides of the field stood and cheered once they saw the act of kindness unfold in front of them. Thank you Andy Garcia for teaching us all a valuable life lesson about sportsmanship. We thank the photographer for capturing this moment and sharing with the AHSAA membership.
