They finished region play with a 6-0 record. The Tigers won four consecutive playoff games to reach the Class 1A State Championship game only to fall just short of claiming a title. They were defeated by Maplesville at the Alabama Super Seven 59-24 in Auburn.

       No team at Cedar Bluff ever won more games in a season than the thirteen victories last year. The last time they won as many was back in 2006. The 636 points scored by the Tigers last year were a team record in a single season. The Tigers hope to continue the success they had last season. Coach McWhorter saw improvement as they won thirteen games following a 7-6 record in 2014.

       The high-scoring Cedar Bluff offense ranked 10th in the AHSAA. They averaged 42.4 points a game.

       Since 2010, Cedar Bluff has gone a combined 49-23. Their 68.0% winning percentage ranks 11th in Class 1A over the past six seasons.
