Tallassee will see many new teams on its football schedule this season. After spending the last six seasons in Class 5A, the Tigers are heading back down to Class 4A. With that, Tallassee will play in a new region with new opponents while still holding onto its annual rivalry games.
It will be a tough schedule as 7 of the 10 opponents Tallassee will face made the playoffs last season while three of them advanced to at least the second round and two (BTW Tuskegee and St. James) both reached the semifinals.
