 2024 Preview 


       Colbert Heights finished the 2023 season with a disappointing 1-9 record. Last year Colbert Heights finished seventh in Class 3A region eight with a 0-6 region record and failed to qualify for the playoffs.

       The Wildcats lost as many games as in any season since 1997.

       Colbert Heights 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 37.5 points a game.

       Since 2010, Colbert Heights has gone a combined 72-77. Their 48.3% winning percentage ranks 34th in Class 3A over the past fourteen seasons.

       Over the past 25 seasons, Colbert Heights has managed to compile a record of 134-133. Their 50.0% winning percentage ranks 29th in Class 3A and 195th in the AHSAA.

Head Coach:
       The Wildcats are led by head coach Tyler Jeffrey who is entering his second season at the helm. His team finished with a 1-9 record in his first season at Colbert Heights. The Wildcats have yet to reach the playoffs under his direction. They have not won a region crown with Coach Jeffrey.

Season Outlook:

       The Colbert Heights Wildcats will play in Class 3A region seven during the 2024 season. Following realignment, the Wildcats remain in 3A but move from region eight over to region seven.

      

       The Wildcats enter the 2024 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.

       After a string of five consecutive playoff seasons the Wildcats took a step backwards missing the post season each of the past two years. Can second year head coach Tyler Jeffrey get them back to the playoffs and winning more games in 2024?

    This season, the Wildcats will be a long shot for one of the four playoff spots in region seven.

Season Opener:
       The Wildcats open the 2024 season at home against non-region opponent Cherokee on Friday, August 23 at Amos Mitchell Stadium. Last year the Cherokee Indians finished with an overall record of 5-5 and in fifth place in Class 1A region eight. The Indians closed out the regular season with a loss to Hackleburg by a score of 41-6.

       Colbert Heights and Cherokee have met a total of 48 times on the football field. The Wildcats have a 22-26-0 record against the Indians. They last met in 2019 with Colbert Heights winning by a score of 56-0.
