 2023 Preview 


       Monroe County finished the 2022 season with a disappointing 2-8 record. Last year Monroe County finished eighth in Class 3A region one with a 1-6 region record and failed to qualify for the playoffs.

       The Tigers have not qualified for the playoffs since the 2003 season and would love to end that streak this year. The Tigers last playoff victory came during the 2003 season. They would love to break through this year with a post season win.

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

       Monroe County struggled on the defensive side of the football last year. The defense found little success in stopping opposing offenses as they gave up an average of 39.1 points a game.

       The Tigers would prefer to forget the past two seasons as they have finished with a 3-17 record. Since 2010, the Monroe County football program has struggled with a record of 32-97.

       Over the past 25 seasons, Monroe County has not won much with a record of 59-192. Their 24.0% winning percentage ranks 57th in Class 3A and 373rd in the AHSAA. The Tigers have struggled on the football field with only three winning seasons during this time.




       The Tigers are led by head coach Shannon Felder who is entering his second season at the helm. His team finished with a 2-8 record in his first season at Monroe County. The Tigers saw improvement from a 1-9 record the season before coach Felder arrived. The Tigers have yet to reach the playoffs under his direction. They have not won a region crown with Coach Felder. Over the course of his career, Coach Felder's teams have qualified for the playoffs a total of ten times and won two region championships.

       The Tigers enter the 2023 season in the middle of a 6 game losing streak. They would like nothing better than to end the string of losses early in the season.

       This season, the Tigers will be a long shot for one of the four playoff spots in region one.

       The Tigers open the 2023 season at home against non-region opponent J.F. Shields on Friday, September 1 at Tiger Stadium. Last year the J.F. Shields Panthers finished with an overall record of 0-10 and in seventh place in Class 1A region one. The Panthers closed out the regular season with a loss to Wilcox Central by a score of 51-10.

       Monroe County and J.F. Shields have met a total of 36 times on the football field. The Tigers have a 32-4-0 record against the Panthers. They last met in 2022 with Monroe County winning by a score of 62-0.
