elcome to another edition of Kickoff, The Clanton Advertiser’s annual high school football preview magazine.

This magazine is published before most local football teams have begun their season— except for one important squad. The defending Dawkins state champion Chilton Christian Academy Patriots started off their second season in style, with a convincing win over Victory Baptist. You can read all about

Chilton County High School, Jemison and Billingsley are each looking for significant improvement in their coaches’ second seasons at the helm.

Isabella, Thorsby and Verbena, meanwhile, will try to bounce back fr om 2011 campaigns that didn’t end the way they wanted.

You can read about it all—plus see photos of each local band and cheerlead ing squad—inside this year ’s magazine.

Jemison will compensate for the losses with a deep group of runners—Kevin King, Tyler Henderson and Keyshawn Jemison—and a front seven on defense that returns every starter from last year.

“We were young up front on defense last year, but having to play a whole year like that, I hope it pays off now,” Bowden said.

A loss to rival Jemison wasn’t a great way for last year’s Chilton County football team to start its season, but the most painful loss of the year might have come in Week 2, a 23-20 setback to Demopolis that ended on a blocked field goal. If CCHS had won that game, they might have also figured out a way to win some of the other four games they lost by one posses sion. Look for another early season game to dictate how the Tigers fare this year.

erbena began its 2011 campaign with five seniors manning crucial positions and leadership roles.

Quarterback Christian Coston went down in the first game of the season, a win over Thorsby, and others soon followed. By the end of the year, only two members of that group of seniors were left playing.

It was a difficult situation at the time as VHS won only two games, but coach Mike Harris and his play ers hope the experience will pay off for the players that return this season with a fresh slate.

“They’re coming along with it,” Harris said. “We’ve had good practices and good attitudes.”

Of the five graduating seniors from last year’s team, only one was a lineman, which makes the offensive and defensive fronts a good place to start when looking for strengths for this year ’s team. Senior Latrail Jackson is a Preseason AllArea Team selection, and junior Jon Cleckler should also be a standout.

“Our line will be stronger than it’s been in several years now,” Harris said.

The linemen will be blocking for a new set of backs looking for yards in a new offensive system.

VHS in the past has run a double wing offense, but new offensive

coordinator Scott Doss has brought a single wing, Notre Dame Box style attack. Fans that have seen Isabella play the last couple of years will recognize the scheme; Doss worked with IHS coach Scott Booth for years.

“We’ve run a touch of it in the past,” Harris said. “Our blocking back is in a different position--that’s the only difference, really. Coach Doss has run it in the past, and he’s really good at teaching it.”

The runners benefitting from the system will be Jeronskie Williams and Jacob Montgomery. Williams is a senior who didn’t play last year after ACL surgery during his sophomore year.

His addition will excite the offense.

Most importantly, Verbena will have to capitalize on any chance it gets to build momentum.

The Devils won their second game of mIKe m mIK IKe e harr harrIsIs Is the year last seaosn in Week 5, against Isabella. They could have made it two wins in a row the next week but fell at Fayetteville, 21-20.

VHS lost the four games remaining on the schedule in 2011 and came up at least 29 points in each contest.

“We need to avoid those injuries again, and we need something to go our way,” Harris said.

‘Our line will be stronger than it’s been in several years now.’

Jacob Wilson is one of several experienced linemen that could help Verbena control the line of scrimmage.
