Welcome to the Alabama High School Football Historical Society.
We have expanded our research to include all team sports in Alabama.
Initially our
goal is to preserve the history of every team sport played within
the state. We also provide other important information including
coaching records, tournament results, state championship summaries and much more. If you can provide accurate scores or
any other information related to our efforts we encourage you to contact
us.
Girl's volleyball is a relatively new sport in Alabama having only been
around since the early 1970s. At that time there were only a few schools
participating but it has grown over the years.
The first state tournament to crown a state champion was played in
1971 with Bradshaw taking the first of three consecutive titles in a single
classification.
By 1975 the AHSAA moved to two classifications and
then to four for the 1977 volleyball season. Bradshaw continued to dominate as
they won four of the first five championships.
Today
schools participant each November for one of the seven state championship crowns
awarded by the AHSAA in each classification.
The most dominate team over the past couple of decades has been Bayside Academy.
The Admirals have taken home a total of 31 trophies.

ASHFHS.org
Following years of research, in June of 2007 the AHSFHS.org website became a reality.
Many people have gotten involved to assist us with research of the schools
and teams to make this a reality.
Other team sports have joined football as a part of our research.
Initially AHSFHS.org will include information about coaches, state playoffs, all
state teams, player awards and team records.
It is virtually impossible to provide scores for every game for every
team. Who knows, later even that may be a possibility. There is still a lot of
work to do with the all state teams of years past but our intentions are to find
every team.
We encourage everyone to get involved in helping us provide the most accurate
information possible. If you have information that would be useful to us please
let us know.
