 2017 Preview 


       Springwood completed the 2016 season with a 5-5 record.

       The Wildcats are led by head coach Thomas Hill who is entering his fifth season at the helm. He has compiled a record of 20-23 over the past four seasons at Springwood. Under his direction the Wildcats have qualified for the playoffs a total of two times. They have not won a region crown with Coach Hill.

       The Springwood Wildcats will play in Class AAA region one during the 2017 season.

      Junior Andrue Davis returns after catching 18 passes for 330 yards and 1 TD.

      The defense returns Junior DB Daryl Moore who got in on 70 tackles along with Freshman LB O.J. Tolbert and his 75 tackles and Senior lineman Zack Guy who registered 90 tackles last season.

       The Wildcats open the 2017 season at home against non-region opponent Kingwood Christian on Friday, August 25 at Springwood Stadium. Last year the Kingwood Christian Lions finished with an overall record of 2-9 and in fourth place in Class AA region one. The Lions lost in the first round of the Class AA playoffs to Autauga Academy by a score of 61-0.

       Springwood and Kingwood Christian have met a total of 6 times on the football field. The Wildcats have a 3-3-0 record against the Lions. They last met in 2016 with Springwood winning by a score of 26-6.
