Outlook: Coach Jeff Miller has eleven starters back including QB Mark Drake. The Tigers look to improve on last season's 4-7 campaign and will lean on RB Cois Walker to lead the ground game. On defense, LB should be an area of strength with Nic Hammett and Justin Elliott. Logan David and newcomers Skyler David and Michael Novick lead the defensive effort in the trenches. A much improved season is likely with a top tier finish in the district possible.
