This week on the Big Friday Kickoff Podcast 🏈

Robert and I are joined by Vlad Valasiuk, the founder of @BamaPrepsFB, a social media platform dedicated to changing the way Alabama high school football is covered.

From recruiting and rankings to the biggest storylines across the state, Vlad shares how BamaPreps got started, how it's grown, and why social media has become such a powerful tool in high school sports.

We also discuss the "transfer portal", the changing landscape of Alabama high school football, and what the future may hold for players, coaches, and fans.

I fell in love with sports because of the stories, the community, and the memories they create.

Do you think NIL and the business side of sports have changed the way fans experience the game?

⬇️ Let me know what you think.

I’ve been nominated for this year’s Nappie Award for Best Sports Anchor! 💛

Voting closes May 31st, and you can vote once a day!

For this Mississippi girl, getting to tell sports stories here on the Alabama Gulf Coast has been the joy of my life. The early mornings, late nights, and long hours are nothing compared to the fun I have doing what I love every single day.

Seventh-grade Emily would be screaming right now🥹

These last four years have been a dream made possible because of the stories I get to tell and, more importantly, the people I get to tell them about. Thank you for trusting me to share your moments, your victories, and your journeys.

Love y’all. Thanks for all the support. 💛

RIP to the legend 🙏🙏🙏

Below is a statement from the organization on the passing of Bobby Cox.

A Statement from the Atlanta Braves
“We are overcome with emotion on the passing of Bobby Cox, our treasured skipper. Bobby was the best manager to ever wear a Braves uniform. He led our team to 14 straight division titles, five National League pennants, and the unforgettable World Series title in 1995. His Braves managerial legacy will never be matched.

“Bobby was a favorite among all in the baseball community, especially those who played for him. His wealth of knowledge on player development and the intricacies of managing the game were rewarded with the sport’s ultimate prize in 2014 - enshrinement into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

“And while Bobby's passion for the game was unparalleled, his love of baseball was exceeded only by his love for his family. It is with the heaviest of hearts that we send our sincerest condolences to his beloved wife, Pam, and their loving children and grandchildren.”
