Columbia also led Hazel Green 8-7 at halftime in the season finale before losing 34-8.<\/p>\n Columbia\u2019s last win came on Oct. 16, 2015, when the Eagles beat Ardmore 34-16 in a road matchup. Columbia went 2-8 that season under Chris Hancock, who is now the head coach at Madison County.<\/p>\n Coates told AL.com after the loss to Hazel Green to end the season that it \u201clooks like\u201d he\u2019ll be returning as head coach next season at Columbia.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been a great year,\u201d the former NFL wide receiver and Auburn star said after that win<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019ve only got 40-some players in 6A. We\u2019ve got guys playing both sides of the ball. We just got to get some players on the field, get more people in the locker room and we\u2019ve got to get money.
