Dothan vs. Chiles: Season Opener Preview

The 2025 high school football season kicks off with an exciting non-conference matchup as the Dothan Wolves (AL) welcome the Chiles Timberwolves (FL) on Friday, August 22 at Rip Hewes Stadium. Both teams will look to set the tone early as they open their new campaigns with fresh goals and renewed energy.

Rankings and Records

Coming into the season, neither team has a record on the board yet, but their preseason rankings give a sense of where they stand on the national and state stage.

• Chiles (FL): Ranked No. 1,788 nationally, No. 139 in Florida, and No. 21 in Class.

• Dothan (AL): Ranked No. 655 nationally, No. 21 in Alabama, and No. 10 in Class.

Both squads currently sit at 0-0 overall, with no home or away games played, and a clean slate in scoring—0 points for and 0 points against.

Breaking Down the Matchup

While this is the first head-to-head meeting between the programs, both will get a chance to test their depth, speed, and preparation against an unfamiliar opponent.

• Chiles Timberwolves: Coming from Tallahassee, the Timberwolves will face a challenging road opener. With no common opponents on record yet, the team’s first test of 2025 will provide valuable insight into their potential.

• Dothan Wolves: Ranked higher on the national scale, Dothan enters the season as a strong contender in Alabama’s Class 10. Opening at home gives the Wolves an early advantage, and they’ll aim to establish momentum before diving into regional competition.

Common Opponents Outlook

Though both teams have Godby (FL) on their 2025 schedule, Chiles will play them on September 19, while Dothan faces them later in the season on October 31. These games may provide a useful measuring stick for comparing the two programs as the season progresses.

What’s at Stake

The season opener isn’t just about earning a first win—it’s about setting the foundation for what lies ahead. For Chiles, it’s a chance to prove they can compete against a tough Alabama opponent. For Dothan, it’s an opportunity to defend home turf and show why their higher ranking is justified.

Final Word

With both teams entering fresh at 0-0, Friday’s clash promises to be an exciting showcase of talent, discipline, and determination. The outcome could signal what’s to come in 2025 for both the Timberwolves and the Wolves.
