2026 Preview

Verbena completed the 2025 season with a 6-4 record. Last year Verbena just missed making the playoffs with a fifth place finish in Class 1A region four with a 2-4 region record.        Since 2010, the Verbena football program has struggled with a record of 59-104.        Over the past 25 seasons, Verbena has not won much with a record of 84-170. Their 33.0% winning percentage ranks 47th in Class 1A and 339th in the AHSAA. Head Coach:        The Red Devils are led by head coach Allen Brothers who is entering his sixth season at the helm. He has compiled a record of 28-24 over the past five seasons at Verbena. Under his direction the Red Devils have qualified for the playoffs a total of two times. They have not won a region crown with Coach Brothers. Over the course of his career, Coach Brothers' teams have qualified for the playoffs a total of four times . Season Outlook:        The Verbena Red Devils will play in Class 1A region four during the 2026 season.                   The Red Devils should be in contention for a playoff spot in region four this season. Hosting a first round playoff game on their home turf would be an advantage. Verbena missed the playoffs last year but have expectations of a return to the post season this year.
