Dallas County finished the 2022 season with a disappointing 1-9 record. Last year Dallas County finished seventh in Class 4A region three with a 1-6 region record and failed to qualify for the playoffs. The Hornets last playoff victory came during the 2002 season. They would love to break through this year with a post season win. The offense struggled putting points on the score board as Dallas County averaged scoring just 9.8 points a game. The Hornets would prefer to forget the past two seasons as they have finished with a 4-16 record. Since 2010, the Dallas County football program has struggled with a record of 37-96. Over the past 25 seasons, Dallas County has not won much with a record of 89-170. Their 34.0% winning percentage ranks 48th in Class 4A and 325th in the AHSAA. The Hornets are led by head coach Douglas Laister who is entering his third season at the helm. He has compiled a record of 4-16 over the past two seasons at Dallas County. The Hornets have yet to reach the playoffs under his direction. They have not won a region crown with Coach Laister. The Hornets enter the 2023 season in the middle of a 6 game losing streak. They would like nothing better than to end the string of losses early in the season. The Hornets 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 a single win last year, Dallas County will be hopeful of winning a few more games this season. The Hornets open the 2023 season at home against non-region opponent Keith on Friday, September 1 at Martin Field. Last year the Keith Bears finished with an overall record of 5-6 and in third place in Class 1A region three. The Bears lost in the first round of the Class 1A playoffs to Loachapoka by a score of 28-24. Dallas County and Keith have met a total of 36 times on the football field. The Hornets have a 31-5-0 record against the Bears. They last met in 2022 with Keith winning by a score of 28-6. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
