Tales from Alabama Prep Football

It's been said that the No. 1 religion in Alabama is not Christianity-although this is the Bible Belt-but rather football. If their sons aren't born carrying a football, fathers are giving them one straight out of the womb. Intelligently delivered by Alabama sportswriters Ron Ingram and Rubin E. Grant, Tales from Alabama Prep Football captures the aura that is Alabama football while painting each page with the state's prep-pigskin history.This love affair with football hits its zenith at the college level because of Alabama and Auburn, but on Friday nights at high schools across the state, football also reaches a pinnacle. It was during high school that players such as Bo Jackson, Pat Sullivan, Bobby Bowden, Bart Starr, John Hannah, Kenny Stabler, Pat Trammell, Terrell "T.O." Owens, and Carnell "Cadillac" Williams-to name but a few-began their ascent to stardom.Ingram, Ron is the author of 'Tales from Alabama Prep Football', published 2006 under ISBN 9781596700598 and ISBN 1596700599.
