Action across the state has contiued to increase as teams begin to compete in the all-important area games and a possible trip to the state playoffs. There have been impressive performances from teams across the state, and many of those teams are getting outstanding individual performances from various players. Eight players have been chosen as PBR Alabama Athletes of the Month for the month of March. Each of these winners will receive a t-shirt depicting their "Athlete of the Month" status. We appreciate all of the high school coaches for nominating their players, as our staff had some very difficult decisions to make for February. Each month during the season, we will continue to highlight some of the top performers from across the state. Let's take a look at the eight award winners from March.  

Special thanks to Structure Brand for sponsoring the PBR Alabama Players of the Month and supplying t-shirts to the winners. Visit their website for all of your team uniform and fan apparel needs.
