2023 Preview | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Jemison finished the 2022 season with a disappointing 2-8 record. Last year Jemison finished sixth in Class 5A region three with a 1-4 region record and failed to qualify for the playoffs. Jemison was inconsistent offensively last year and they need some improvement if the Panthers want to be competitive. They only averaged 15.4 points a game. Jemison struggled on the defensive side of the football last year. The defense found little success in stopping opposing offenses as they gave up an average of 40.9 points a game. The Panthers would prefer to forget the past two seasons as they have finished with a 3-17 record. Since 2010, Jemison has gone a combined 49-86. Their 36.3% winning percentage ranks 41st in Class 5A over the past thirteen seasons. Over the past 25 seasons, Jemison has managed to compile a record of 135-137. Their 50.0% winning percentage ranks 26th in Class 5A and 191st in the AHSAA. The Panthers are led by head coach John Therrell who is entering his third season at the helm. He has compiled a record of 3-17 over the past two seasons at Jemison. The Panthers have yet to reach the playoffs under his direction. They have not won a region crown with Coach Therrell. The Panthers will need to win a few more games this fall if they hope to grab one of the four playoff slots in region three this season. After just 2 wins last year, Jemison will be hoping to become more competitive in the region. The Panthers open the 2023 season at home against non-region opponent Thorsby on Thursday, August 24 at Panther Stadium. Last year the Thorsby Rebels finished with an overall record of 7-4 and in fourth place in Class 2A region four. The Rebels lost in the first round of the Class 2A playoffs to Reeltown by a score of 49-6. Jemison and Thorsby have met a total of 21 times on the football field. The Panthers have a 17-4-0 record against the Rebels. They last met in 2022 with Thorsby winning by a score of 44-33. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
