 2017 Preview 


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

       The defense allowed a team record 541 points last season.

       The offense struggled putting points on the score board as McIntosh averaged scoring just 13.4 points a game. The Demons also struggled on the defensive side of the football as they found little success in stopping opposing offenses and allowed an average of 54.1 points a game.

       The Demons would prefer to forget the past two seasons as they have finished with a 2-16 record. Since 2010, McIntosh has gone a combined 25-50. Their 33.0% winning percentage ranks 43rd in Class 1A over the past seven seasons.

       Over the past 25 seasons, McIntosh has managed to compile a record of 93-173. Their 35.0% winning percentage ranks 47th in Class 1A and 317th in the AHSAA.

       The Demons are led by head coach Jerimie Gates who is entering his second season at the helm. His team finished with a 1-9 record in his first season at McIntosh. The Demons have yet to reach the playoffs under his direction. They have not won a region crown with Coach Gates.

       Coach Gates' overall record as a head football coach in one season stands at 1-9 (10.0%).

       The McIntosh Demons will play in Class 1A region one during the 2017 season.

       The Demons enter the 2017 season in the middle of a 8 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 Demons if they hope to grab one of the four playoff slots in region one this season. After just a single win last year, McIntosh will be hopeful of winning a few more games this season.

       The Demons open the 2017 season on the road against non-region opponent Autaugaville on Friday, September 1 at Eagles Nest Stadium. Last year the Autaugaville Eagles finished with an overall record of 2-8 and in sixth place in Class 1A region three. The Eagles closed out the regular season with a loss to R.C. Hatch by a score of 76-6.

       This will be the first meeting between McIntosh and Autaugaville on the football field.
