Our very first 10 seniors in 07. A little rough around the edges but all so unique. I am proud to say that at least half of them are in college two years later. One works construction, one got a football scholarship, one wants to be a coach and one moved to Texas. Paul came home from painting the field and told me this story in 2007.
The coaches and a few players were preparing to paint the field and Paul was getting out the Tiger Paw for the center of the field.
One player asked, "Coach what are you doing?"
He replied, "I'm painting the field. What does it look like?"
The player replied "We put that out at homecoming and when we play Weir."
So, Coach responded -- "This is our home and our field and I want it to look good."
And that's how having pride in being Tiger began. . . .
