Alabama’s school sports split shakes up Shelby County

Alabama just made a game-changing move: public and private high schools will now compete for separate state championships, ending decades of shared postseason battles. For Shelby County’s private schools like Briarwood Christian, this means longer road trips, bigger travel budgets, and a real sense of loss over no longer facing public school rivals for top honors. Coach Matthew Forester calls it a sad day, worried about the impact on students and families who value both faith-based education and statewide competition. What do you think—will this separation help or hurt high school sports in Alabama? #Sports #AlabamaSports #ShelbyCounty
