One of the greatest scorers in Alabama high school basketball history is from Ryan High School in Morgan County. Ryan was closed in the early 70's. Robert Whisenant averaged 46.3 points per game his senior season. That's without the three point shot. Ryan is not listed in the basketball section at all. |

Ryan School actually stayed open several more decades but only as a K-8 school. In the early 70s Ryan, Union Hill, Lacey's Spring, Cotaco, Eva, and Priceville all started sending their 9-12 students to the newly built Albert P. Brewer High School in Morgan County.
The school remained a K-8 school until its official closure in 2011.

Sadly information about many of the schools is lost to time and never really covered by the newspapers at that time. All we can add is what we find researching the resources available. Mostly the players we list were from some all-state team or all-star team.
If Robert Whisenhunt was named to an all-star or all-state team we would have him listed if it was after 1970. There were many great players in all the sports that will never be recognized for their accomplishments.
