FOX10 Big Friday Kickoff

The AHSAA cracks down across the state with TP Hammock

The Alabama high school football world is on edge… and this week on the Big Friday Kickoff Podcast, we’re breaking it all down. From Mary G. Montgomery and Zach Golson… to Pell City and Jake Ganus… the AHSAA is cracking down hard on recruiting violations across the state — and we’re hearing more schools could still be under investigation. Are the punishments going too far? Should student-athletes lose playoff opportunities because of decisions made by adults? And what has the AHSAA’s new task force really been doing behind the scenes? TP Hammock from the Alabama High School Football Historical Society joins Robert and Emily for an in-depth conversation about the future of high school football in Alabama, the growing transfer culture, and whether the state is entering a new era of enforcement.
