FCHS announces homecoming activities
Fayette County High School announces its 2019 homecoming activity schedule for the week of Sept. 23-27. The theme for the 2019 FCHS homecoming is a Las Vegas style theme: “Welcome to Fabulous Fayette County High School.”
New beginning, same expectations for Tigers
Shown is the 2019 Fayette County High School football team.
For the first time since the 1983 football season, the Fayette County High School Tigers’ football team will be coached this year by someone who is not named Tucker. Head football coach Bill Smith comes to Fayette from Munford High School and is well aware of the legacy of winning that Waldon and Lance Tucker brought to the school. He knows this will be a transitional year for the Tigers, but he hopes that the transition does not mean a drop in the quality of play.
FCHS Marching Band plays in inauguration parade
The Fayette County High School majorettes led the “Pride of the Tigers” marching band down the street as they marched in Governor Kay Ivey’s inauguration parade.
The Fayette County High School Marching Band played in Governor Kay Ivey's inauguration parade in Montgomery on Jan. 14.
Fayette’s Drum Major enhances marching band
Colby Allison, Fayette County High School’s first-ever drum major, is shown directing the marching band during halftime of the Fayette - Dora fotball game.
For the first time in the storied history of the Fayette County Marching Band, the band has a true drum major to direct the music on the field. According to current FCHS band director Brent Traylor, the marching band at Fayette had never had a drum major to direct its on-the-field music. Traylor, in his third year at the school, added a color guard last year and he said this was just the next step in the progression to complete the band ensemble.
Fayette shuffles offense after spectacular 2017 season
Shown is the 2018 Fayette County High School football team.
The Fayette Tigers entered last season seeking to rebound from an uncharacteristic 4-6 season in 2016. Head Coach Lance Tucker was optimistic last year, especially with the senior leadership that he had returning, including quarterback Chance Stevenson and receiver Darius Nalls.
His optimism was rewarded with a spectacular season, one that saw the Tigers play for the Class 4A state Championship before falling 21-7 to UMS-Wright on a snowy and freezing Bryant-Denny Stadium field.
