 2016 Preview 


       Last year Florala finished seventh in Class 1A region 2 with a 0-6 region record and failed to qualify for the playoffs.

       Over the past 25 seasons, Florala has managed to compile a record of 110-153. Their 42.0% winning percentage ranks 35th in Class 1A and 260th in the AHSAA.

       The Wildcats are led by head coach Brad Rhodes who is entering his second season at the helm. He has compiled a record of 8-11 over the past two seasons at Florala. The Wildcats have yet to reach the playoffs under his direction. They have not won a region crown with Coach Rhodes.

       Coach Rhodes's overall record as a head football coach in four seasons stands at 13-26 (33.3%).

      

      The Florala Wildcats will play in Class 1A region 2 during the 2016 season.
