Welcome to the Alabama High School Football Historical Society.
Our goal is to preserve history of the AHSAA high school basketball
tournament and state championships. We also provide other important information including
coaching records, tournament results, state championship summaries and much more. If you can provide accurate
information related to our efforts we encourage you to contact us.
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.
In November of 2011 basketball
joined football as a part of our research. The basketball section includes information about the state tournament, all
state teams, all tournament teams, player awards and team records.
We encourage everyone to get involved in helping us provide the most accurate
information possible. If you have information that would be useful to AHSFHS.org
please
let us know.

ASHFHS.org Basketball Progress
We have almost every game from the state championship tournament
dating back to the 1921 season. We have most of the all-state teams from 1982-2024
and we will continue research for the all state teams from 1921-1981.
Much work is needed on the District and Area games with
research continuing for these games.
The Beginning
James A. Naismith (November 6, 1861 – November 28, 1939)
was a Canadian and American sports coach and innovator. He invented the sport of basketball in 1891
and is often credited with introducing the first football helmet. He wrote the original basketball
rulebook, founded the University of Kansas basketball program,
and lived to see basketball adopted as an Olympic demonstration sport in 1904 and as an official
event at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin.
