 2016 Preview 


       Bullock County finished the 2015 season with a disappointing 1-9 record. Last year Bullock County finished eighth in Class 4A region two with a 0-7 region record and failed to qualify for the playoffs.

       The Hornets have never qualified for a playoff spot and would love to break that streak this season. The Hornets have never won a playoff game in the school's history. They would like to break through and pick up that first post season victory in 2016.

       The offense struggled putting points on the score board as Bullock County averaged scoring just 13.2 points a game.

       The Hornets would prefer to forget the past two seasons as they have finished with a 2-18 record. Since 2010, the Bullock County football program has struggled with a record of 3-57.

       Over the past 25 seasons, Bullock County has not won much with a record of 38-209. Their 15.0% winning percentage ranks 59th in Class 4A and 376th in the AHSAA. The Hornets have struggled on the football field with only two winning seasons during this time. Their last winning season was 1997.

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

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

       The Bullock County Hornets will play in Class 4A region two during the 2016 season.

       Overall, the region is among the weakest in the state. Qualifying for one of the playoffs spots could be a little easier.

       The Hornets enter the 2016 season in the middle of a 9 game losing streak. They would like nothing better than to end the string of losses early in the season. This season, the Hornets will be a long shot for one of the four playoff spots in region two.

      The Hornets are in the midst of a 40 game region losing streak which is the longest in the state.

       The Hornets open the 2016 season at home against non-region opponent Central Hayneville on Friday, August 26 at Bryant Foster Field. Last year the Central Hayneville Lions finished with an overall record of 1-9 and in seventh place in Class 2A region three. The Lions closed out the regular season with a loss to Keith by a score of 48-6.

       Bullock County and Central Hayneville have met a total of 19 times on the football field. The Hornets have a 14-5-0 record against the Lions. They last met in 1999 with Bullock County winning by a score of 18-12.
