Birmingham, Alabama, is gearing up for an exciting year in high school football, and there’s a lot to be enthusiastic about. First off, the Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA) has announced that the state championships, known as the Super 7, will be returning to Birmingham’s Protective Stadium in 2025. This decision was made during the AHSAA Central Board meeting, marking a continuation of a successful partnership that saw over 41,269 fans attend the championships in 2024 and a record-breaking 62,000 in 2021[5].The Super 7 format has undergone some changes due to the new College Football Playoff schedule, which led to Tuscaloosa and Auburn being removed from the host site rotation. However, this has opened the door for Mobile’s Hancock-Whitney Stadium to join the rotation, ensuring that the championships will remain a highlight of the state’s high school football calendar. The schedule is set with Protective Stadium hosting in 2025 and 2027, and Hancock-Whitney Stadium hosting in 2026 and 2028[5].As spring practices are already underway, the focus is also on the talented athletes taking the field. One standout is Landon Duckworth from Jackson High School, who is not only a top quarterback but also a multi-sport star. Duckworth has earned titles as a co-state champion in football, a 2x basketball state champion, and a 4x1 track state champion. In his junior year, he threw for 3,439 yards with 162 completions out of 243 attempts and scored 51 total touchdowns[4].The state is also rich in other top talent, with players like Na'eem Offord from A.H. Parker High School in Birmingham, who is ranked as one of the top recruits for the 2025 class. Offord, a cornerback, stands at 6'2" and is highly regarded by scouts[3].For fans eager to stay updated on the latest scores and schedules, High School Football America has partnered with Scorestream for the 11th consecutive year to provide live scores and schedules throughout the 2025 season. You can download the Scorestream app on iTunes or Google Play to keep up with all the action[1].With the Super 7 championships returning to Birmingham and the emergence of exceptional young athletes, 2025 promises to be an electrifying year for high school football in Alabama. Whether you’re a local fan or just passionate about the sport, there’s plenty to look forward to in the Yellowhammer State.This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
