The Tigers had one of their best seasons in quite some time — a Region Championship, 11 wins, and a Quarterfinals appearance behind a running back duo that was one of the best in the state. Now, it’s an encore performance with both Jaiden Daniels and Tysean Wiggins back for a final run.

Head Coach: Mark Hollars (4th Season)
2023 Record: 11-2; Quarterfinals; Region Champions; #2 State Ranking

“We want to build off the success that we had last season,” says Hollars. “This team knows that it will be a dogfight within our region and come playoff time.”
