 2017 Preview 


       LeFlore finished the 2016 season with a disappointing 3-7 record. Last year LeFlore finished seventh in Class 6A region one with a 2-6 region record and failed to qualify for the playoffs.

       LeFlore was inconsistent offensively last year and they need some improvement if the Rattlers want to be competitive. They only averaged 14.6 points a game.

       Since 2010, LeFlore has gone a combined 25-49. Their 34.0% winning percentage ranks 47th in Class 6A over the past seven seasons.

       Over the past 25 seasons, LeFlore has managed to compile a record of 112-161. Their 41.0% winning percentage ranks 45th in Class 6A and 276th in the AHSAA. Their last winning season was 2010.

       The Rattlers are led by head coach Anthony Shamburger who is entering his sixth season at the helm. He has compiled a record of 16-36 over the past five seasons at LeFlore. Under his direction the Rattlers have qualified for the playoffs a total of two times. They have not won a region crown with Coach Shamburger.

       Coach Shamburger's overall record as a head football coach in ten season stands at 41-66 (38.3%). Over the course of his career, Coach Shamburger's teams have qualified for the playoffs a total of four times and won one region championship.

       The LeFlore Rattlers will play in Class 6A region one during the 2017 season.

       It will be an uphill battle for the Rattlers if they hope to grab one of the four playoff slots in region one this season.

       The Rattlers open the 2017 season on the road against non-region opponent Williamson on Thursday, August 24 at Ladd-Peebles Stadium. Last year the Williamson Lions finished with an overall record of 3-7 and in fifth place in Class 5A region one. The Lions closed out the regular season with a loss to Mobile Christian by a score of 47-20.

       LeFlore and Williamson have met a total of 56 times on the football field. The Rattlers have a 20-35-1 record against the Lions. They last met in 2016 with LeFlore winning by a score of 20-14.
