 2022 Preview 


       Dallas County finished the 2021 season with a disappointing 3-7 record. Last year Dallas County just missed making the playoffs with a fifth place finish in Class 4A region three with a 3-4 region record.

       The Hornets last playoff victory came during the 2002 season. They would love to break through this year with a post season win.

       Since 2010, the Dallas County football program has struggled with a record of 36-87.

       Over the past 25 seasons, Dallas County has managed to compile a record of 94-166. Their 36.0% winning percentage ranks 48th in Class 4A and 310th in the AHSAA.




       The Hornets are led by head coach Douglas Laister who is entering his second season at the helm. His team finished with a 3-7 record in his first season at Dallas County. The Hornets have yet to reach the playoffs under his direction. They have not won a region crown with Coach Laister.

       Coach Laister's overall record as a head football coach in one season stands at 3-7 (30.0%).

       The Dallas County Hornets will play in Class 4A region three during the 2022 season. The Hornets have one of the toughest schedules in Class 4A. Their opponents had a combined record of 63-38 last season. That ranks 6th in Class 4A and 20th in the AHSAA.

       With a little luck and some improvement, the Hornets could find themselves challenging for one of the playoff spots for region three this season. Dallas County missed the playoffs the past couple of seasons but hope to return to the post season in 2022.

       The Hornets open the 2022 season on the road against non-region opponent Keith on Friday, August 26 at J.V. Caldwell Stadium. Last year the Keith Bears finished with an overall record of 10-2 and in first place in Class 1A region three. The Bears lost in the quarter-finals round of the Class 1A playoffs to Brantley by a score of 20-14.

       Dallas County and Keith have met a total of 35 times on the football field. The Hornets have a 30-5-0 record against the Bears. They last met in 2007 with Keith winning by a score of 36-18.
