The Shades Cahaba Oral History Project will publish special edition episodes this year to celebrate other Homewood schools, the beginnings of the Homewood Board of Education, and other events. We still have other Shades Cahaba stories to tell.

In this episode, we talk with Homewood High School Alumnus Wade Kirkpatrick. Wade played on the first Homewood Football team to win a state championship in 1974. He wrote a book called Fighting Patriots, The First Three Years of Homewood High School Football currently available at https://store.bookbaby.com/book/fighting-patriots. Proceeds of the book go to a great cause. I’ll let Wade fill us in the book as we discuss that special football team.
