LaFayette completed the 2016 season with a 12-1 record. The Bulldogs cruised through the regular season with a perfect 10-0 record going into the post season. Last year LaFayette captured the region five title and a number one seed in the Class 2A playoffs. They finished region play with a 7-0 record. It was the first region championship for the Bulldogs since the 2005 season. LaFayette lost in the quarter-finals of the playoffs last season to a good Fyffe team by a score of 53-20. No team at LaFayette ever won more games in a season than the twelve victories last year. The 642 points scored by the Bulldogs last year were a team record in a single season. The Bulldogs hope to continue the success they had last season. Coach Lucas saw improvement as they won twelve games following a 6-5 record in 2015. The high-scoring LaFayette offense ranked 2nd in the AHSAA. They averaged 49.4 points a game. Since 2010, LaFayette has gone a combined 34-41.

Over the course of his career, Coach Lucas' teams have qualified for the playoffs a total of five times and won two region championships.
