SUMMARY: The “Grind to Glory” series, sponsored by Southern Housing, visited Fauler High School as they prepare for the 2024 football season. Coach Kevin Walton, in his sixth year, emphasized the need for improvement, particularly in the offensive line and run defense after an 8-3 season last year. The team is excited about new talent, especially a promising running back, and hopes to build on last year’s success, when they won their region for the first time since 1999. Senior players express confidence in achieving another championship, and the Eagles will kick off their season at home against Potts Camp.

Falkner won their district title for the first time since 1999 in the 2023 season. They have high expectations ahead of the 2024 season.
