 2016 Preview 


       Last year Pleasant Valley finished eighth in Class 3A region 6 with a 0-7 region record and failed to qualify for the playoffs.  The defense allowed a team record 458 points last season.

       The Raiders would prefer to forget the past two seasons as they have finished with a 3-17 record. Since 2010, Pleasant Valley has gone a combined 18-43. Their 30.0% winning percentage ranks 47th in Class 3A over the past six seasons.

       Over the past 25 seasons, Pleasant Valley has not won much with a record of 59-191. Their 24.0% winning percentage ranks 58th in Class 3A and 367th in the AHSAA.

       The Raiders are led by head coach Jonathan Nix who is entering his first season at the helm. His team finished with a 0-10 record in his first season at Pleasant Valley. The Raiders have yet to reach the playoffs under his direction. They have not won a region crown with Coach Nix.

       Coach Nix's overall record as a head football coach in seven seasons stands at 37-38 (49.3%). Over the course of his career, Coach Nix's teams have qualified for the playoffs a total of three times and won one region championship.

       The Raiders enter the 2016 season in the middle of a 12 game losing streak. They would like nothing better than to end the string of losses early in the season.

      The Pleasant Valley Raiders will play in Class 3A region 5 during the 2016 season. Following realignment, the Raiders remain in 3A but move from region 6 over to region 5.

       This season, the Raiders will be a long shot for one of the four playoff spots in Region 5.

       The Raiders open the 2016 season at home against non-region opponent Vincent on Friday, August 19 at Raider Stadium. Last year the Vincent Yellow Jackets finished with an overall record of 0-10 and in seventh place in Class 2A region 4. The closed out the regular season with a loss to Talladega County Central by a score of 48-0.

       Pleasant Valley and Vincent have met a total of 6 times on the football field. The Raiders have a 1-5-0 record against the Yellow Jackets. They last met in 2016 with Pleasant Valley winning by a score of 42-0.
