 2016 Preview 


       Last year East Lawrence finished eighth in Class 4A region 8 with a 0-7 region record and failed to qualify for the playoffs.

       The Eagles would prefer to forget the past two seasons as they have finished with a 2-18 record. Since 2010, East Lawrence has gone a combined 13-47. Their 22.0% winning percentage ranks 53rd in Class 3A over the past six seasons.

       Over the past 25 seasons, East Lawrence has not won much with a record of 73-181. Their 29.0% winning percentage ranks 55th in Class 3A and 350th in the AHSAA.

       The Eagles are led by head coach Jarrod Helms who is entering his first season at the helm. His team finished with a 2-8 record in his first season at East Lawrence. The Eagles have yet to reach the playoffs under his direction. They have not won a region crown with Coach Helms.

       Coach Helms's overall record as a head football coach in five seasons stands at 16-36 (30.8%). Over the course of his career, Coach Helms's teams have qualified for the playoffs a total of one time .

      

      The East Lawrence Eagles will play in Class 3A region 8 during the 2016 season. The Eagles may find the schedule slightly easier this season with the move down in classification from Class 4A to 3A. They will compete in region 8 this year.

       It will be an uphill battle for the Eagles if they hope to grab one of the four playoff slots in Region 8 this season.

       The Eagles open the 2016 season on the road against non-region opponent Fairview on Friday, August 26 at Dafford Smith Stadium. Last year the Fairview Aggies finished with an overall record of 5-5 and in fifth place in Class 5A region 7. The ended last season on a positive note with a win over Vinemont by a score of 49-20 after failing to gain a playoff spot.
