 2017 Preview 


       Shades Valley completed the 2016 season with a 5-5 record. Last year Shades Valley just missed making the playoffs with a fifth place finish in Class 6A region five with a 2-4 region record.

       The Mounties had some tough luck last season as four of their five losses were by less than eight points.

       Since 2010, Shades Valley has gone a combined 34-41. Their 45.0% winning percentage ranks 39th in Class 6A over the past seven seasons.

       Over the past 25 seasons, Shades Valley has managed to compile a record of 139-139. Their 50.0% winning percentage ranks 30th in Class 6A and 195th in the AHSAA.

       The Mounties are led by head coach David Partridge who is entering his third season at the helm. He has compiled a record of 7-13 over the past two seasons at Shades Valley. The Mounties have yet to reach the playoffs under his direction. They have not won a region crown with Coach Partridge.

       Coach Partridge's overall record as a head football coach in two season stands at 7-13 (35.0%).
