2015 was a less than desirable year for Westover; the team only managed two wins and failed to see the postseason after doing so for the previous three years. Head coach Octavia Jones stood tall as the Patriots trudged through what would be their worst season with Jones at the helm. On a brighter note, one of the Patriots’ two wins came at the hands of in-town rival Dougherty.
From here, the only direction for Westover is up. Although the team finished 2-7 overall, both wins came in region competition. Their 2-2 region record was enough to place them third at the end of the year, behind Bainbridge and Worth County.
The Patriots will begin the road to redemption in 2016 as they open the year with an in-town road game against Monroe before returning to Hugh Mills Stadium for their home opener against Albany. Last season, Westover was winless on the road, so improving on that end will be crucial to a better season this fall.
