The Alabama Sports Writers Association (ASWA) All-State football team for the 2021 season has been released. Nine players from the Wal-Win Area were featured on the list, including an area high three from Oakman.
The team is selected by the ASWA’s prep committee through coaches’ nominations sent to local sports writers. The ASWA’s prep committee will name three finalists for back and lineman of the year in each of the seven AHSAA classifications and the AISA on Dec. 26.
That group will be honored at the annual Player of the Year banquet in Montgomery on Jan. 13 where the back and lineman of the year in each class will be announced as well as the state’s Mr. Football.
