       The Bulldogs won as many games as in any season since 2011. It marked the first time since the 2008 season that the Bulldogs qualified for the playoffs.

       Marbury was inconsistent offensively last year and they need some improvement if the Bulldogs want to be competitive. They only averaged 16.2 points a game.

       Coach Brothers' overall record as a head football coach in six season stands at 25-37 (40.3%). Over the course of his career, Coach Brothers' teams have qualified for the playoffs a total of two times .

       The Marbury Bulldogs will play in Class 5A region three during the 2018 season.

       The Bulldogs will be in the mix for one of the last two playoff spots in region three this season.

       The Bulldogs open the 2018 season on the road against non-region opponent Montevallo on Friday, August 24 at Theron Fisher Stadium.
