 2022 Preview 


       Mortimer Jordan finished the 2021 season with a disappointing 2-8 record. Last year Mortimer Jordan just missed making the playoffs with a fifth place finish in Class 6A region six with a 1-5 region record.

       The defense allowed a team record 394 points last season.

       Mortimer Jordan 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 39.4 points a game.

       The Blue Devils would prefer to forget the past two seasons as they have finished with a 3-16 record. Since 2010, Mortimer Jordan has gone a combined 85-57. Their 59.9% winning percentage ranks 22nd in Class 6A over the past twelve seasons.

       Over the past 25 seasons, Mortimer Jordan has managed to compile a record of 162-117. Their 58.0% winning percentage ranks 24th in Class 6A and 107th in the AHSAA.




       The Blue Devils will be under the direction of new head football coach Dustan Goode as they enter the 2022 season.  Coach Goode was promoted from his assistant coaching job at Mortimer Jordan following last season.

       Coach Goode's overall record as a head football coach in nine season stands at 79-33 (70.5%). Over the course of his career, Coach Goode's teams have qualified for the playoffs a total of eight times and won four region championships.

       The Mortimer Jordan Blue Devils will play in Class 6A region five during the 2022 season. Following realignment, the Blue Devils remain in 6A but move from region six over to region five.

       The Blue Devils enter the 2022 season in the middle of a 7 game losing streak. They would like nothing better than to end the string of losses early in the season.

       It will be an uphill battle for the Blue Devils if they hope to grab one of the four playoff slots in region five this season. After just 2 wins last year, Mortimer Jordan will be hoping to become more competitive in the region.

      

       The Blue Devils open the 2022 season at home against non-region opponent Leeds on Friday, August 19 at Jimmie Trotter Field. Last year the Leeds Greenwave finished with an overall record of 10-2 and in second place in Class 5A region six. The Greenwave lost in the second round of the Class 5A playoffs to Pleasant Grove by a score of 35-0.

       Mortimer Jordan and Leeds have met a total of 46 times on the football field. The Blue Devils have a 8-37-1 record against the Greenwave. They last met in 1995 with Mortimer Jordan winning by a score of 10-6.
