 2017 Preview 


       Section finished the 2016 season with a disappointing 1-9 record. Last year Section finished seventh in Class 2A region six with a 1-6 region record and failed to qualify for the playoffs.

       The Lions have not qualified for the playoffs since the 2007 season and would love to end that streak this year.

       The offense struggled putting points on the score board as Section averaged scoring just 11.2 points a game.

       The Lions would prefer to forget the past two seasons as they have finished with a 2-18 record. Since 2010, Section has gone a combined 23-47. Their 33.0% winning percentage ranks 44th in Class 2A over the past seven seasons.

       Over the past 25 seasons, Section has managed to compile a record of 98-160. Their 38.0% winning percentage ranks 42nd in Class 2A and 301st in the AHSAA.

Drew Davis leaves Section after two years with a 2-18 record. His teams finished 1-9 each season.


Luke Powell will guide Section onto the football field during the 2017 season.



       The Section Lions will play in Class 2A region six during the 2017 season.

       The Lions enter the 2017 season in the middle of a 6 game losing streak. They would like nothing better than to end the string of losses early in the season.

       It will be an uphill battle for the Lions if they hope to grab one of the four playoff slots in region six this season. After just a single win last year, Section will be hopeful of winning a few more games this season.

       The Lions open the 2017 season at home against non-region opponent Pisgah on Friday, August 25 at Section Stadium. Last year the Pisgah Eagles finished with an overall record of 4-6 and in fifth place in Class 3A region seven. The Eagles closed out the regular season with a loss to Ohatchee by a score of 42-22.

       Section and Pisgah have met a total of 43 times on the football field. The Lions have a 11-32-0 record against the Eagles. They last met in 2016 with Pisgah winning by a score of 48-0.
