“February Frenzy” Always Exciting

Volume 6, number 3

Around the AHSAA State

Office, we jokingly refer to the

winter sports state champion-

ships as the “February Frenzy.”

All joking aside, February is

an extremely busy month – from

the indoor track and wrestling

championships to basketball’s

four regional tournaments and

ultimately the Final 48. Each

event presents an exciting oppor-

tunity for our state’s young peo-

ple to experience the thrill of

athletic competition and make

life-long memories.

But these events don’t just

happen. They require extensive

planning and commitment from

the municipalities, city officials,

sports commissions, volunteers

and the media who cover our

student-athletes during champi-

onship season.

Without this unified, orga-

nized effort, these wonderful

events would never occur. And

for those who give their time and

effort to make these events spe-

cial, we extend our sincere ap-

preciation.

At the same time, I want to

also thank another group of un-

sung heroes who go above and

beyond to ensure the success of

all our championship events –

the AHSAA staff. Many of them

are on the road almost the entire

month of February.

You don’t always see them,

but they are there, behind the

scenes, always working:

Associate Executive Director

Tony Stallworth, Assistant

Director Wanda Gilliland,

AHSADCA Director Alvin

Briggs, Communications Di-

rector Ron Ingram, Director

of Officials Greg Brewer and

Assistant Directors Denise

Ainsworth and Jim Tolbert.

Still other staff members re-

main in the State Office, but they

are no less responsible for the

AHSAA’s success, often tack-

ling a greater workload while

others are out of the office:

Sandy Logan, Charlotte Da-

vies, Alaine Davis, Elvia

Henderson, Vanda Peppers,

Eula Milner, Alan Mitchell

and Rodney Mills.

This is absolutely the hardest

working, most dedicated group I

have ever been associated with.

Their efforts enable the AHSAA

to better serve our member

schools in a timely manner.

Hall of Fame

While we’re on the subject of

service, I want to discuss another

group whose remarkable service

to Alabama high schools and

commitment to young people

have earned each of them one of

the highest honors in high school

athletics, the Alabama High

School Sports Hall of Fame.

The Class of 2013 includes

Denise Ainsworth, Larry Da-

vidson, the late Buddy Davis,

Greg England, Mike Estes, Joe

Evans, Steve Gaydosh, Ben Har-

ris, Jim Hunter, Jr., Julie Sin-

clair, Jim Tuley and Raymond

White.

We honor them not only for

their victories on the field or

court, but for the impact their

service has had on the lives of

thousands of student-athletes and

fellow teachers in our state.

They will be honored at the

annual Hall of Fame Banquet

March 18 at the Renaissance

Montgomery Convention Center.

This is such a special night for

each inductee and their families

and I urge you to come and be a

part of this memorable occasion.

AHSAA Corporate Spotlight

The Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA) is proud to

spotlight Team IP, one of its valued corporate partners. We thank you for your dedication and service to the AHSAA and its member schools. Team IP is the number one amateur souvenir merchandiser in the U.S. Team IP was named a three-time recipient for the Inc 5000 award (2007, 2009, 2011), which ranks the fastest growing private companies in the U.S. Team IP is the exclusive merchandiser for the AHSAA, with four distinct platforms that serve the AHSAA and its member schools:

Event Souvenir Merchandising – Team IP's strategic advantage is its on-site risk-free, turn-key souvenir merchandise platform. Team IP cre-ates and retails a merchandise mix that includes customized event-specific designs, branded fashion apparel, and novelties.

Coaches Should Be Cognizant Of Sport Guidelines

Responsibility, pro-fessionalism and knowledge of the game should be the top prior-ities of our officials. We certainly hope our member schools will establish an effec-tive plan to insure safe-ty for our officials dur-ing athletic events in-volving our schools. Administrators are asked to maintain an environment that will foster a sense of secu-rity. The AHSAA has guidelines for each member school relating to the safety of student- athletes and fans.

To insure officials’ safety, they are asked to leave the court or field immediately after the con-clusion of a contest. Any unruly action aimed at officials is taken very seriously by the AHSAA. Member school rules make it clear that any un-sportsmanlike acts aimed at officials before, dur-ing or after a contest will not be tolerated and any violators will be subject to stiff punishment. Attention to creating a safe environment for our contest officials should always be the focal point of all athletic events. Member schools have the responsibility of being knowledgeable of all laws that are in place to protect administrators and officials as well as all NFHS and AHSAA rules and regulations regarding these important men and women. Schools should continue to educate their stu-dents, coaches and fans regarding these matters.

Director

What is the penalty for an assault on an official? Under state law, it is a crime to assault sporting event officials in the State of Alabama. Legislation passed in December 2001 makes it a specific crime to harass, menace or assault a sports official in the first, second and third degree if the crime is committed against a sports official that is performing official duties at a sports event. The definition of sports officials in this legislation includes adminis-trators, coaches and officials in youth leagues, high schools and colleges.

Under AHSAA rules, each case is judged on its own merits, but the usual penalty is a monetary fine plus probation, restrictive pro-bation or suspension for the school. The school may be prohibited from playing contests when the individual (or individuals) responsi-ble for the assault is present.

Selections For Alabama-Mississippi Basketball On Tap

All-Star selections for the upcoming Alabama-Mississippi Boys and Girls All-Star Basketball Games will be conducted next week. We want to thank the coaches on the selec-tion committee for their hard work in choosing these players and coaches. A total of 24 seniors, 12 boys and 12 girls, will be selected to represent Ala-bama in the 23nd annual Ala-bama-Mississippi All-Star Basketball Classic at Ala-bama State University’s Dunn-Oliver Acadome March 15. The Alabama High School Athlet-ic Directors & Coaches Association (AHSADCA) is proud to be the sponsor of this doubleheader which showcases the talent we have in our state each year. The girls game will tipoff at 5 p.m. and the boys game will follow at 7. Both contests will be broadcast over the AHSAA Radio Network. Alabama and Mississippi are cur-

rently even in the boys’ series with 11 wins each after Alabama won last year’s exciting game 109-104. Ironically, the Al-abama girls are also 11-11 in the series after falling to Mississippi last year 94-91 in an equally exciting contest.

The selection committee will also select the North-

South All-Star participants and coaches for basketball at the March 6 meeting. Those games will be played at the Acadome during the AHSAA Summer Conference and All-Star Sports Week . Coach Gus Malzahn and his Au-burn University football coaching staff will be on hand for the upcom-ing AHSADCA Football Mini-Clinic at the AHSAA State Office March 5. Coaches can still sign up to attend. This is an exciting opportunity for

our coaches to get to meet the new Auburn staff. The Football Mini-Clinic will get underway at 9 a.m. It will also con-clude the mini-clinic series for the 2012-13 school year. The next series of sports clinics will be held at the Summer Confer-ence July 15-19 in Montgomery.

St. Paul’s Tate Selected to NFHS Hall of Fame Jim Tate, highly successful track coach at St. Paul’s Episcopal School, has been selected for induction into the 2013 class of the Nation-al High School Sports Hall of Fame in June. He becomes the third in-ductee from the AHSAA ranks in the last three years, following Pat Sullivan as an athlete in 2012 and former AHSAA Executive Director Dan Washburn as an admin-istrator in 2011. Tate, who has won over 80 state championships in his fabled 34-year coaching career at the Mobile school, is being enshrined in a class that includes four individuals who excelled as high school athletes, including former Washington Redskins’ all-pro quarterback Joe Theismann, cur-rent Los Angeles Clippers’ guard Chauncey Billups, four-time Olympic gold medalist Harrison Dillard, and former Stanford volleyball-basketball standout Kristin Folkl Kaburakis. Tate, after coaching stops in South Carolina and Georgia for nine years, joined St. Paul’s staff in 1978 and started the school’s boys track and cross country programs. Combining boys and girls cross country, boys and girls indoor track and boys and girls outdoor track, his teams have won an unbelievable 86 state championships. His girls cross country teams won 16 consecutive state titles from 1983 to 1998, an all-time national record. “We are extremely proud of Coach Tate and excited about his selection,” said Steve Savarese, AHSAA Ex-ecutive Director. “We thank him for his many years of service, first as an outstanding member of our military and later through his teaching and coaching. His ac-complishments are many, but more important are the many young men and young women he has helped mold into outstanding adults through his dedication and service.”

Tate is one of five high school coaches, four ath-letes, two officials, one administrator and one in the performing arts to be inducted June 27 at the Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center. The 31st Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will be the closing event of the 94th annual NFHS Summer Meet-ing. Other high school coaches slated for induction in-clude Ed Aston, who retired in 2011 after over 30 years as girls and boys swimming coach at Cheshire (Connecticut) High School; Chuck Koeppen, cross country and track coach at Carmel (Indiana) High School for 37 years before retiring in 2008; Chuck Lenahan, in his 42nd year as football coach at Plym-outh (New Hampshire) Regional High School; and Mike Messere, lacrosse coach at Camillus (New York) West Genesee High School for the past 37 years; Honorees in the Officials category are Jerry Kim-mel, a basketball official from Kentucky who recently retired after 56 years as assigner for the Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA), and Haig Nighohossian, a soccer official from Granite City, Ill., in his 39th year as an active official with the Illinois High School Association (IHSA). Ronnie Carter, who retired in 2009 after 23 years as executive director of the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA), is this year’s inductee in the Administrators category and Richard Floyd, retiring this year after 50 years in music educa-tion that includes 29 years as director of music for the University Interscholastic League (UIL) in Austin, Texas, in the Performing Arts category. The National High School Hall of Fame was started in 1982 by the NFHS to honor high school athletes, coaches, contest officials, administrators, performing arts coaches/directors and others for their extraordi-nary achievements and accomplishments in high school sports and activity programs. This year’s class increases the number of people in the Hall of Fame to 411.

AHSAA Executive Director Steve Savarese and Bir-mingham Mayor William Bell, Sr., announced Feb. 27 that the AHSAA Final 48 State Basketball Champion-ships will continue to be played at the Birmingham Jef-ferson Convention Complex (BJCC) Arena through the 2020 season. The new agreement between the AHSAA and the City of Birmingham extends the current contract, which runs through 2015, for five more years. “We are proud to extend the Final 48 contract,” Sa-varese said. “This solidifies our basketball champion-ships through the rest of this decade and insures that our student-athletes and schools will be afforded the experience of life-long memories. “It has been a symbiotic relationship between the AHSAA and the City of Birmingham. We have a great venue and the economic impact has been very im-portant for Birmingham.” Mayor Bell said the city appreciates its partnership with the AHSAA. “This extension is a step forward in our efforts to make Birmingham a great sports city,” said Mayor Bell. “With the NCAA Division II Winter Championship Festival coming in a few weeks, and a new baseball sta-dium being completed this spring, we are certainly proving that Birmingham is the center for hosting sporting events. Birmingham is growing in every aspect

of sports, entertainment, parks and recreation. We hope that this extension is just one of many good things to come.” Savarese praised Mayor Bell, the BJCC and the Bir-mingham Tip-Off Club for their outstanding service and support since the inception of the Final 48 concept. “This is our 20th year at the BJCC, and none of it would have been possible without such fine leadership from the city and the Tip-Off Club. So many have sac-rificed their time. We thank Mayor Bell for his willing-ness to make this such an outstanding event for our schools and student-athletes. “I also want to extend a heartfelt thanks to the Tip-Off Club and its leaders, especially those in the begin-ning like Edgar Welden, Janis and John Clements, Dick Coffee, Jim Conrad, Lynne and Tim Petro … there have been so many. I also want to thank the Alabama Sports Foundation for its management of the Final 48 and its leadership in solidifying the future of this tour-nament through the rest of the decade.” Savarese also praised the vision of former AHSAA Executive Director Dan Washburn, who brought this exciting format, including both girls and boys, to frui-tion in 1994.

AHSAA Executive Director Steve Saverese and Birmingham Mayor William Bell, Sr., announce the extension of the

current Final 48 contract at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex Arena will now run through 2020.

Emergency Preparedness Plans Important For Schools

As we head into March,

we also head full steam into

the spring sports seasons.

This is a good time to re-

mind all coaches and admin-

istrators how important it is

to develop an emergency

management plan for after

school events. Many of the

spring contests begin right

after school and are played

outside.

It is important to have a

plan in place dealing with

security, weather, health and

safety. Have a plan for every

situation that might arise.

Hopefully you will never

need it but it is important to

be prepared when and if you

do.

The AHSAA has devel-

oped emergency and safety

plans for all its post-season

championship events.

Each venue has emergency

and safety plans and each

city has emergency and

safety plans in place.

It is extremely im-

portant for coaches and

administrators to have

those plans written down

and readily available. Know

those plans. Check them to

make sure they work and

cover the needs that might

arise.

We wish each team suc-

cess this spring. We hope to

see you at some champion-

ship venue later this spring.

In the meantime, be safe, be

secure and be proactive.

None of us can ever be

too cautious.

Have fun and “Play Ball.”

The Alabama High School Ath-letic Directors and Coaches Associa-tion (AHSADCA) is excited to be offering a course to help with syn-thetic (turf) field design and con-struction. The course, LTC 621 Athletic Admin-istration: Syn-thetic Fields, Design & Construction Com-ponents, will be offered in conjunction with the National Interscholastic Athletic Adminis-trators Association (NIAAA). This course will review the stages and pro-cedures involved in defining the concept, en-suring a successful design and the selection of a qualified professional to construct a synthetic turf playing surface. Discussion will take place regarding specific language, selection criteria bidding strategies and a checklist of contract considerations. In addition, a review of re-quirements to ensure professional project management, necessary steps to maintain qual-ity assurance and best practices for care and maintenance. The instructor for this course will be Mark Nicholls, founder and CEO of TURFindustry, located in Dalton, Ga. Mark travels the U.S. for the purpose of educating administrators and coaches on the installation of synthetic fields and field safety. He has personally in-stalled hundreds of synthetic turf projects and is listed on several patents and/or patent appli-cations relating to the sports surfacing indus-try. With almost three decades of industry ex-perience, Nichols’ mission is to educate the community about the pros and cons of artifi-cial turf for sports fields, residential lawns, public spaces and parks. The course will be taught on Thursday, July
