Big Friday Kickoff Podcast: The Godfather of Alabama High School Football History, David Parker

This week on the Big Friday Kickoff Podcast, Emily and Robert sit down with one of the most respected historians in the state of Alabama football.

Our guest is David Parker, the founder of the Alabama High School Football Historical Society — a site that has become the definitive record book for high school football across the state. We call him the godfather of Alabama high school football history.

Parker has spent years researching, documenting, and preserving the stories, records, and legends that define the sport in our state. In this episode, he shares how the website first started, the passion behind the project, and the journey of turning a personal mission into one of the most trusted resources in Alabama high school sports.

If you love the history, the rivalries, and the legacy of high school football in Alabama — this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
