2022 Preview | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Talladega County Central finished the 2021 season with a disappointing 0-9 record. Last year Talladega County Central finished seventh in Class 1A region five with a 0-6 region record and failed to qualify for the playoffs. The defense allowed a team record 444 points last season. The offense struggled putting points on the score board as Talladega County Central averaged scoring just 4.4 points a game. The Fighting Tigers also struggled on the defensive side of the football as they found little success in stopping opposing offenses and allowed an average of 49.3 points a game. The Fighting Tigers would prefer to forget the past two seasons as they have finished with a 1-16 record. Since 2010, Talladega County Central has gone a combined 42-79. Their 34.7% winning percentage ranks 38th in Class 1A over the past twelve seasons. Over the past 25 seasons, Talladega County Central has managed to compile a record of 126-140. Their 47.0% winning percentage ranks 28th in Class 1A and 217th in the AHSAA. The Fighting Tigers will be under the direction of new head football coach Acardia Garett as they enter the 2022 season. Coach Watters served on the staff at Talladega County Central last season. The Talladega County Central Fighting Tigers will play in Class 1A region six during the 2022 season. Following realignment, the Fighting Tigers remain in 1A but move from region five over to region six. The Fighting Tigers have one of the toughest schedules in Class 1A. Their opponents had a combined record of 59-42 last season. That ranks 2nd in Class 1A and 55th in the AHSAA. The Fighting Tigers enter the 2022 season in the middle of a 14 game losing streak. They would like nothing better than to end the string of losses early in the season. This season, the Fighting Tigers will be a long shot for one of the four playoff spots in region six. After not winning a single game last year, the goal at Talladega County Central will be to simply win some games. Talladega County Central simply does not have the numbers to be competitive on the football field at this time. With just 60 students, the Fighting Tigers are one of the smallest schools playing the game and have little chance of being successful. The Fighting Tigers open the 2022 season on the road against non-region opponent Tarrant on Friday, August 19 at Tarrant Stadium. Last year the Tarrant Wildcats finished with an overall record of 0-8 and in eighth place in Class 3A region six. Talladega County Central and Tarrant have met a total of 4 times on the football field. The Fighting Tigers have a 0-4-0 record against the Wildcats. They last met in 2017 with Tarrant winning by a score of 27-0. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
