Slocomb's season came to an end in the first round of the playoffs when they fell to American Christian by a score of 38-0.

       Slocomb was inconsistent offensively last year and they need some improvement if the Red Tops want to be competitive. They only averaged 18.3 points a game.

       The Red Tops are led by head coach Richard Tisdale who is entering his third season at the helm. He has compiled a record of 9-12 over the past two seasons at Slocomb. Under his direction the Red Tops have qualified for the playoffs once. They have not won a region crown with Coach Tisdale.

       Coach Tisdale's overall record as a head football coach in two season stands at 9-12 (42.9%).

       The Slocomb Red Tops will play in Class 3A region two during the 2018 season.

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