Kent Partridge officially retired from his duties as athletics director at the University of West Alabama on June 1. Eight days later, on June 9, Partridge is set to be officially inducted into the Alabama Sports Writers Association Hall of Honor at the association’s annual awards banquet at Jacksonville State University.
“I would have never thought about it and it never crossed my mind,” Partridge said of the award. “I’ve been inducted into our Hall of Fame at UWA, which was great for me, and the Golden Key Society there. But when you get recognized by people who you have spent almost the entirety of your 40-year career — working with and working for — that tops them all, I think. It really has flabbergasted me, and still does.
He also worked for the Birmingham Thunderbolts of the XFL and the NBA’s G-League as vice-president for communications. While working for the NBA in Utah, Partridge received a call from the provost at UWA asking if he would be interested in returning to his alma mater in the university’s online marketing department. It was a chance to return home, and he took it.
Partridge said the Hall of Honor recognition and his retirement has allowed him the opportunity to look back on his career.
