HOOVER, AL β€” The Alabama Sports Writers Association released its 2020 All State football team this week, and like so many years past, several Spain Park High School and Hoover Hiogh School players are scattered throughout the list.

While the Bucs and Jags would have preferred a state championship, the individual accolades received by players at each school are plentiful.
