       Carroll completed the 2022 season with a 5-6 record. With their 3-2 region record and a third place finish in Class 5A region two, the Eagles earned a spot in the playoffs in 2022. Carroll's season came to an end in the first round of the playoffs when they fell to Gulf Shores by a score of 42-10.

       Since 2010, Carroll has gone a combined 62-74. Their 45.6% winning percentage ranks 26th in Class 5A over the past thirteen seasons.

       Over the past 25 seasons, Carroll has managed to compile a record of 112-149. Their 43.0% winning percentage ranks 34th in Class 5A and 255th in the AHSAA.




       The Eagles are led by head coach Patrick Plott who is entering his fourth season at the helm. He has compiled a record of 12-20 over the past three seasons at Carroll. Under his direction the Eagles have qualified for the playoffs a total of three times. They have not won a region crown with Coach Plott. Over the course of his career, Coach Plott's teams have qualified for the playoffs a total of eleven times and won five region championships.

Last year the Dothan High Wolves finished with an overall record of 8-4 and in fourth place in Class 7A region two. The Wolves lost in the second round of the Class 7A playoffs to Auburn by a score of 48-20.

       Carroll and Dothan High have met a total of 3 times on the football field. The Eagles have a 0-3-0 record against the Wolves. They last met in 2022 with Dothan High winning by a score of 45-19.

       Carroll lost 5A All-State  linebacker Karmelo Overton to graduation. He was named to the second team last season.
