Colbert Heights completed the 2021 season with a 5-6 record. With their 3-3 region record and a third place finish in Class 3A region eight, the Wildcats earned a spot in the playoffs in 2021. Colbert Heights's season came to an end in the first round of the playoffs when they fell to Oakman by a score of 36-7. Colbert Heights was inconsistent offensively last year and they need some improvement if the Wildcats want to be competitive. They only averaged 14.4 points a game. Since 2010, Colbert Heights has gone a combined 67-62. Their 51.9% winning percentage ranks 30th in Class 3A over the past twelve seasons. Over the past 25 seasons, Colbert Heights has managed to compile a record of 134-134. Their 50.0% winning percentage ranks 33rd in Class 3A and 185th in the AHSAA.

Under his direction the Wildcats have qualified for the playoffs a total of five times. They have not won a region crown with Coach Leathers.

Colbert Heights will face six opponents that reached the playoffs last season. With a little luck and some improvement, the Wildcats could find themselves challenging for one of the playoff spots for region eight this season.
