Mike Says: The Tigers lost their opening game last year and then went on to win their next 11 by 23+ points per game. Only 6 starters return from that team and with a new head coach this season will be a challenge. Look for them to go 6-4 or 5-5 in the regular season and come in 3rd or 4th in the district battling Midland Greenwood for that final playoff spot.

Chris Says: New Head Coach, Aubrey Sims inherits a strong football program, a bunch of returning lettermen and a very winnable district. What he doesn't have is experience starters. What will this mean to the Tigers? Sims is a proven coach so should have no problem taking their winning attitude and meshing it with his philosophy. Expect the Tigers to be in the playoffs, and do well as this year becomes a stepping stone to bigger and better things to come.
