2022 Preview | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fairhope completed the 2021 season with a 9-2 record. Last year Fairhope captured the region one title and a number one seed in the Class 7A playoffs. They finished region play with a 8-0 record. It was the first region championship for the Pirates since the 2014 season. Fairhope's season came to an end in the first round of the playoffs when they fell to Enterprise by a score of 35-10. The Pirates won as many games as in any season since 2014. Since 2010, Fairhope has gone a combined 91-45. Their 66.9% winning percentage ranks 7th in Class 7A over the past twelve seasons. Over the past 25 seasons, Fairhope has managed to compile a record of 174-106. Their 62.0% winning percentage ranks 9th in Class 7A and 79th in the AHSAA. The Pirates are led by head coach Tim Carter who is entering his eighth season at the helm. He has compiled a record of 46-29 over the past seven seasons at Fairhope. Under his direction the Pirates have qualified for the playoffs a total of five times. They have won one region crown with Coach Carter. Coach Carter's overall record as a head football coach in twenty season stands at 144-82 (63.7%). His 144 wins rank 30th among active coaches in the AHSAA. Over the course of his career, Coach Carter's teams have qualified for the playoffs a total of fifteen times and won five region championships. Coach Carter needs six wins this season to reach the 150 win milestone. Look for Fairhope to open up the passing game with last years starting quarterback Caden Creel returning. He is projected to be one of the best around. The Fairhope Pirates will play in Class 7A region one during the 2022 season. The Pirates enter the 2022 season riding a 9 game regular season winning streak. Fairhope has won 12 consecutive region games. The Pirates should be considered one of the favorites for the region one championship this season and a home game in the first round of the playoffs. The Pirates open the 2022 season at home against non-region opponent Spanish Fort on Friday, August 19 at Fairhope Municipal Stadium. Last year the Spanish Fort Toros finished with an overall record of 10-2 and in second place in Class 6A region one. The Toros lost in the second round of the Class 6A playoffs to Opelika by a score of 28-14. Fairhope and Spanish Fort have met a total of 9 times on the football field. The Pirates have a 4-5-0 record against the Toros. They last met in 2021 with Spanish Fort winning by a score of 21-10. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
