 2016 Preview 


       Straughn completed the 2015 season with a 5-6 record. With their 4-3 region record and a fourth place finish in Class 4A region two, the Tigers earned a spot in the playoffs in 2015. Straughn reached the second round of the playoffs before falling to Munford by a score of 25-15.

       Straughn took a step backwards last year with their first losing season since 2007. The Tigers lost as many games as in any season since 2007. The Tigers hope to rebound after a down year. Last season they struggled winning just five games which followed a 10-2 record in 2014.

       Straughn was inconsistent offensively last year and that needs to pick up if the Tigers want to be competitive. They only averaged 19.4 points a game.

       Since 2010, Straughn has gone a combined 50-22. Their 69.0% winning percentage ranks 7th in Class 3A over the past six seasons.

       Over the past 25 seasons, Straughn has managed to compile a record of 171-112. Their 60.0% winning percentage ranks 12th in Class 3A and 94th in the AHSAA.

       The Tigers are led by head coach Chris Wilson who is entering his second season at the helm. His team finished with a 5-6 record in his first season at Straughn. Under his direction the Tigers have qualified for the playoffs once. They have not won a region crown with Coach Wilson.

       Coach Wilson's overall record as a head football coach in six season stands at 62-18 (77.5%). Over the course of his career, Coach Wilson's teams have qualified for the playoffs a total of six times and won two region championships.

       The Straughn Tigers will play in Class 3A region two during the 2016 season. The Tigers may find the schedule slightly easier this season with the move down in classification from Class 4A to 3A. They will compete in region two this year. The Tigers have one of the toughest schedules in Class 3A. Their opponents had a combined record of 69-33 last season. That ranks 2nd in Class 3A and 3rd in the AHSAA. Straughn will face six opponents that reached the playoffs last season.

       Region two will be one of the most competitive regions in any classification this season. The Tigers should be considered one of the favorites for the region two championship this season and a home game in the first round of the playoffs. The Tigers have successfully qualified for the playoffs every year since 2007 and expect to be included again when November rolls around.

       The Tigers open the 2016 season at home against non-region opponent Brantley on Friday, August 26 at Antioch Municipal Stadium. Last year the Brantley Bulldogs finished with an overall record of 10-3 and in second place in Class 1A region two. The Bulldogs lost in the quarter-finals round of the Class 1A playoffs to Linden by a score of 41-0.

       Straughn and Brantley have met a total of 14 times on the football field. The Tigers have a 5-9-0 record against the Bulldogs. They last met in 1997 with Brantley winning by a score of 14-13.
