2016 Preview | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Last year Woodlawn finished seventh in Class 6A region 6 with a 0-6 region record and failed to qualify for the playoffs. The Colonels would prefer to forget the past two seasons as they have finished with a 2-18 record. Since 2010, Woodlawn has gone a combined 15-46. Their 25.0% winning percentage ranks 49th in Class 5A over the past six seasons. Over the past 25 seasons, Woodlawn has not won much with a record of 74-178. Their 29.0% winning percentage ranks 53rd in Class 5A and 347th in the AHSAA. The Colonels are led by head coach Cornelius Turner who is entering his first season at the helm. His team finished with a 1-9 record in his first season at Woodlawn. The Colonels have yet to reach the playoffs under his direction. They have not won a region crown with Coach Turner. Coach Turner's overall record as a head football coach in one seasons stands at 1-9 (10.0%). The Colonels 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. The Woodlawn Colonels will play in Class 5A region 5 during the 2016 season. The Colonels may find the schedule slightly easier this season with the move down in classification from Class 6A to 5A. They will compete in region 5 this year. This season, the Colonels will be a long shot for one of the four playoff spots in Region 5. The Colonels open the 2016 season on the road against non-region opponent Jackson-Olin on Friday, August 19 at J-O Field. Last year the Jackson-Olin Mustangs finished with an overall record of 3-7 and in sixth place in Class 6A region 5.
