Mike Says: The Tigers made a surprising run to the championship last year. They were very young last year and now bring back an amazing 20 starters. They have loads of experience that includes 17 all-district selections. They have a huge pre-district game against Alto who we picked to win the Division I title. Look for them to make another run at the title and make the championship game for the 3rd year in a row. Our preseason prediction is that they play Wellington which will be an awesome match-up.
Chris Says: Tenaha is a powerhouse. Every season, you think they are do for a "rebuilding" year and every year, they keep proving doubters wrong. Well, THIS is not their rebuilding year. They bring back 20 STARTERS! That is some serious experience. If they do end up in the title game again, their experience should be enough to vault them past anyone.
