Last year James Clemens captured the region four title and a number one seed in the Class 7A playoffs. They finished region play with a 7-0 record. James Clemens's season came to an end in the first round of the playoffs when they fell to Oak Mountain by a score of 38-35.

       No team at James Clemens ever won more games in a season than the ten victories last year. The last time they won as many was back in 2015.

      

       James Clemens is a relatively new football program having fielded a team only ten seasons. They have managed a record of 64-46 over the past ten years.

       Over the past 10 seasons, James Clemens has managed to compile a record of 64-46. Their 58.0% winning percentage ranks 13th in Class 7A and 110th in the AHSAA.




       The Jets are led by head coach Chad McGehee who is entering his second season at the helm. His team finished with a 10-1 record in his first season at James Clemens. The Jets saw improvement from a 8-3 record the season before coach McGehee arrived. Under his direction the Jets have qualified for the playoffs once.
