       Priceville completed the 2015 season with a 8-3 record. Last year Priceville captured the region seven title and a number one seed in the Class 4A playoffs. They finished region play with a 6-1 record. It was the first region championship for the Bulldogs. Priceville's season came to an end in the first round of the playoffs when they fell to Hamilton by a score of 29-28.

       The Bulldogs improved in 2015 with their first winning season since 2007. No team at Priceville ever won more games in a season than the eight victories last year. The 450 points scored by the Bulldogs last year were a team record in a single season. It marked the first time since the 2007 season that the Bulldogs qualified for the playoffs. The Bulldogs have never won a playoff game in the school's history. They would like to break through and pick up that first post season victory in 2016.

       The high-scoring Priceville offense ranked 19th in the AHSAA. They averaged 40.9 points a game.

       Since 2010, Priceville has gone a combined 21-40. Their 34.0% winning percentage ranks 44th in Class 4A over the past six seasons.

       Over the past 14 seasons, Priceville has managed to compile a record of 50-85. Their 37.0% winning percentage ranks 47th in Class 4A and 305th in the AHSAA.

       The Bulldogs are led by head coach David Dirk Strunk who is entering his sixth season at the helm. He has compiled a record of 21-30 over the past five seasons at Priceville. Under his direction the Bulldogs have qualified for the playoffs once. They have won one region crown with Coach Strunk.

       Coach Strunk's overall record as a head football coach in fourteen season stands at 64-86 (42.7%). Over the course of his career, Coach Strunk's teams have qualified for the playoffs a total of six times and won two region championships.

       The Priceville Bulldogs will play in Class 4A region eight during the 2016 season. Following realignment, the Bulldogs remain in 4A but move from region seven over to region eight.
