The City of Clay has officially recognized the Clay-Chalkville High School football team after the Cougars finished the 2025 season with a perfect 15 and 0 record and won the AHSAA Class 6A state championship.
The city’s recognition celebrates a team that not only went unbeaten, but closed the season with a 38 to 21 win over Saraland at Protective Stadium in Birmingham on December 4, 2025.
Clay-Chalkville’s title run gave the program its fifth state championship and its third Class 6A title in the last five seasons. The Cougars were not just winning games all year.
They were overwhelming teams. Their average margin of victory was 33 points, a number that shows how dominant the season really was from start to finish.
The regular season scores back that up. Clay-Chalkville opened with a 42 to 15 win over Hueytown, then followed with a 64 to 0 shutout of Ramsay, a 52 to 9 win over Pell City, a 50 to 0 shutout at Shades Valley, and a 47 to 15 win over Brandon.
Later in the year, the Cougars also beat Thompson 28 to 24 in one of their tighter tests before continuing their unbeaten push through the postseason.
The championship game itself gave the season one more set of numbers worth remembering. Clay-Chalkville recorded eight sacks against Saraland, setting a new Class 6A Super 7 record, and held the Spartans to just 25 rushing yards.

That is the team the City of Clay is honoring now. Coach Stuart Floyd and the Cougars did not simply bring home another trophy.
They delivered an undefeated season, a state title, and one of the strongest single year runs in school football history.
The city’s formal proclamation recognized exactly that, congratulating the team on its championship season and commending its effort and dedication to the Clay community.
For Clay-Chalkville, the numbers leave little room for debate. Fifteen wins. No losses. A two score state championship victory.
A Super 7 sacks record in the final. Five state titles in program history. That is why the recognition matters, and that is why this team will be remembered long after the season itself ended.
