CLASS 2A REGION 5
RANBURNE BULLDOGS
Ranburne Coach Chad Young
enjoyed his best season as a coach
in 2014. The Bulldogs rolled to a
12-0 mark before falling to eventual
State Champion Fyffe in the Class 2A
Semi-finals 42-14. Ranburne was
dominant on both sides of the ball,
averaging close to 37 points a game
while allowing just 15. Expectations
are once again high in Ranburne, but
Young says there’s plenty of room
to improve. “We have to find some
ways to put up points. We need some
guys to make some big plays this
fall, but I expect a lot more close
games this season, “ Young said.
The Class 2A Region 5 race will
provide plenty of tough battles.
“Woodland finished strong last
year and will continue to be strong.
Reeltown lost several close games.
Lanett is extremely talented and
Randolph County practiced three
times and looked great in their
spring game.” Young said, “We will
have our work cut out for us every
Friday night.”
Dylan Wiggins returns for his
senior season after an incredible
junior campaign. Wiggins completed
143 of 211 passes for 2,533 yards
and 25 touchdowns. He also had
29 carries for 740 yards and eight
more touchdowns. He’ll be joined in
the backfield by his cousin, Dalton
Wiggins, and Donovan Tullis, who
missed 2014 with an injury. The
offensive line is led by highly-touted
Ryan Smith, a 6’4” 315 blocking
machine. Receivers Logan Otwell
and Owen Smith provide Dylan with
some steady targets in the passing
attack.
Defensively, Riley Smith and
Blake Young will look to handle the
trenches. Donovan Thomas, Hunter
McAdams, Logan Otwell, and Dalton
Wiggins will man the linebacker
spots. Owen Smith, Dylan Wiggins,
and Jared English will provide
leadership in the secondary.
The Bulldogs open up the 2015
season at home against Pleasant
Valley on August 28th. Week two is
a road trip to Randolph County in a
huge Region 5 clash.
