       Theodore completed the 2017 season with a 6-5 record. With their 4-4 region record and a fourth place finish in Class 7A region one, the Bobcats earned a spot in the playoffs in 2017. Theodore's season came to an end in the first round of the playoffs when they fell to Central Phenix City by a score of 42-13.

       Since 2010, Theodore has gone a combined 33-48. Their 41.0% winning percentage ranks 25th in Class 7A over the past eight seasons.

       Over the past 25 seasons, Theodore has managed to compile a record of 147-116. Their 56.0% winning percentage ranks 17th in Class 7A and 139th in the AHSAA.




       The Bobcats are led by head coach Eric Collier who is entering his sixth season at the helm. He has compiled a record of 22-30 over the past five seasons at Theodore. Under his direction the Bobcats have qualified for the playoffs a total of two times. They have not won a region crown with Coach Collier.

       Coach Collier's overall record as a head football coach in nine season stands at 32-60 (34.8%). Over the course of his career, Coach Collier's teams have qualified for the playoffs a total of two times .

       The Theodore Bobcats will play in Class 7A region one during the 2018 season.

       The Bobcats will be in the mix for one of the last two playoff spots in region one this season.

       The Bobcats open the 2018 season on the road against non-region opponent Daphne on Friday, August 24 at Jubilee Stadium. Last year the Daphne Trojans finished with an overall record of 8-3 and in second place in Class 6A region one. The Trojans lost in the first round of the Class 6A playoffs to Opelika by a score of 15-5.

       Theodore and Daphne have met a total of 13 times on the football field. The Bobcats have a 5-8-0 record against the Trojans. They last met in 2011 with Daphne winning by a score of 41-20.

       Theodore returns 7A All-State  defensive back Kameron Brown. He was named to the honorable mention team last season.
