 2018 Preview 


       Danville finished the 2017 season with a disappointing 3-7 record. Last year Danville finished seventh in Class 4A region eight with a 0-6 region record and failed to qualify for the playoffs.

       The Hawks have not qualified for the playoffs since the 2009 season and would love to end that streak this year. The Hawks last playoff victory came during the 1994 season. They would love to break through this year with a post season win.

       Danville was inconsistent offensively last year and they need some improvement if the Hawks want to be competitive. They only averaged 15.9 points a game.

       Since 2010, Danville has gone a combined 25-55. Their 31.0% winning percentage ranks 45th in Class 4A over the past eight seasons.

       Over the past 25 seasons, Danville has not won much with a record of 75-170. Their 31.0% winning percentage ranks 49th in Class 4A and 333rd in the AHSAA.




       The Hawks will be under the direction of new head football coach Shannon McGregory as they enter the 2018 season.

       Coach McGregory's overall record as a head football coach in ten season stands at 45-63 (41.7%). Over the course of his career, Coach McGregory's teams have qualified for the playoffs a total of five times and won one region championship.

       The Danville Hawks will play in Class 4A region seven during the 2018 season. Following realignment, the Hawks remain in 4A but move from region eight over to region seven.

       Overall, the region is among the weakest in the state. Qualifying for one of the playoffs spots could be a little easier. It will be an uphill battle for the Hawks if they hope to grab one of the four playoff slots in region seven this season.

       The Hawks open the 2018 season on the road against non-region opponent Falkville on Friday, August 24 at Burl Vest Stadium. Last year the Falkville Blue Devils finished with an overall record of 7-4 and in second place in Class 2A region seven. The Blue Devils lost in the first round of the Class 2A playoffs to Reeltown by a score of 33-13.

       Danville and Falkville have met a total of 49 times on the football field. The Hawks have a 28-21-0 record against the Blue Devils. They last met in 2017 with Danville winning by a score of 28-27.
