 2018 Preview 


       Anniston finished the 2017 season with a disappointing 3-7 record. Last year Anniston finished sixth in Class 4A region five with a 2-5 region record and failed to qualify for the playoffs.

       Anniston was inconsistent offensively last year and they need some improvement if the Bulldogs want to be competitive. They only averaged 14.5 points a game.

       Since 2010, Anniston has gone a combined 55-57. Their 49.0% winning percentage ranks 28th in Class 4A over the past eight seasons.
