 2017 Preview 


       Tarrant completed the 2016 season with a 4-5 record. Last year Tarrant just missed making the playoffs with a fifth place finish in Class 2A region seven with a 3-3 region record.

       Since 2010, Tarrant has gone a combined 22-48. Their 31.0% winning percentage ranks 49th in Class 2A over the past seven seasons.

       Over the past 25 seasons, Tarrant has managed to compile a record of 135-140. Their 49.0% winning percentage ranks 28th in Class 2A and 197th in the AHSAA. Their last winning season was 2010.

       The Wildcats are led by head coach Eric Johnson who is entering his eleventh season at the helm. He has compiled a record of 35-67 over the past ten seasons at Tarrant. Under his direction the Wildcats have qualified for the playoffs a total of four times. They have not won a region crown with Coach Johnson.

       The Tarrant Wildcats will play in Class 2A region seven during the 2017 season.
