They finished region play with a 6-0 record. Mortimer Jordan reached the second round of the playoffs before falling to Wenonah by a score of 21-14.

       The defense was very stingy last season as Mortimer Jordan ranked 33rd in the AHSAA. The defense allowed only 13.5 points a game.

       Since 2010, Mortimer Jordan has gone a combined 59-36. Their 62.0% winning percentage ranks 18th in Class 5A over the past eight seasons.

       The Blue Devils are led by head coach Dustan Goode who is entering his sixth season at the helm. He has compiled a record of 46-17 over the past five seasons at Mortimer Jordan. Under his direction the Blue Devils have qualified for the playoffs a total of five times. They have won two region crowns with Coach Goode.

       Coach Goode's overall record as a head football coach in six season stands at 55-20 (73.3%). Over the course of his career, Coach Goode's teams have qualified for the playoffs a total of six times and won two region championships.

       The Mortimer Jordan Blue Devils will play in Class 5A region five during the 2018 season. Following realignment, the Blue Devils remain in 5A but move from region six over to region five.
