 2023 Preview 


       Glencoe finished the 2022 season with a disappointing 2-8 record. Last year Glencoe finished eighth in Class 3A region six with a 0-7 region record and failed to qualify for the playoffs.

       Glencoe was inconsistent offensively last year and they need some improvement if the Yellow Jackets want to be competitive. They only averaged 17.9 points a game.

       The Yellow Jackets would prefer to forget the past two seasons as they have finished with a 3-17 record. Since 2010, Glencoe has gone a combined 66-76. Their 46.5% winning percentage ranks 34th in Class 3A over the past thirteen seasons.

       Over the past 25 seasons, Glencoe has managed to compile a record of 130-137. Their 49.0% winning percentage ranks 34th in Class 3A and 193rd in the AHSAA.




       The Yellow Jackets are led by head coach Scott Martin who is entering his second season at the helm. His team finished with a 2-8 record in his first season at Glencoe. The Yellow Jackets saw improvement from a 1-9 record the season before coach Martin arrived. The Yellow Jackets have yet to reach the playoffs under his direction. They have not won a region crown with Coach Martin. The win total includes 85 wins in Alabama and 81 victories from outside the state. Over the course of his career, Coach Martin's teams have qualified for the playoffs a total of nine times and won two region championships.

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

       The Yellow Jackets open the 2023 season at home against non-region opponent Weaver on Friday, September 1 at Wilson-Darnell Field. Last year the Weaver Bearcats finished with an overall record of 2-8 and in seventh place in Class 3A region four. The Bearcats closed out the regular season with a loss to Pleasant Valley by a score of 28-22.

       Glencoe and Weaver have met a total of 38 times on the football field. The Yellow Jackets have a 22-16-0 record against the Bearcats. They last met in 2022 with Glencoe winning by a score of 27-6.
