MONTGOMERY, AL – The Alabama High School Athletic Association has named a new executive director. Alvin Briggs, who has been on the executive staff of the AHSAA since 2011, will take over for Steve Savarese, who served as Executive Director for the 15 years before announcing his retirement in April. I believe Mr. Alvin Briggs in the person who can meet the challenges the AHSAA will face in the coming years ahead with the same commitment to the AHSAA mission as the four executive directors that came before him, said AHSAA Central Board of Control president Van Phillips. He attended high school in the AHSAA where he was an outstanding student-athlete who went on to represent his family, school and the AHSAA well at the college and professional level.
