2006 Team Raises Level of
Optimism in School for Next Season |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 2006 Varsity Team played one of the toughest schedules in school
history. The schedule |
|
|
|
included 5 teams that were ranked in the top 8 in the state at the end
of the year. And although |
|
|
|
the wins and losses didn’t turn out the way we had hoped, the seniors
left their impressions |
|
|
|
on this Tiger Football Program for years to come. The style of football
that these kids played |
|
|
|
with is what has many members of the administration, coaching staff and
community optimistic for |
|
|
|
next year. With the Seniors laying a solid foundation, our younger
players are working as hard |
|
|
|
as ever trying to take the next step up and lead this program into the
playoffs next season. |
|
|
|
|
With 6 starters on each side of the ball returning for the tigers next
year things should be very |
|
|
|
exciting in Tiger Country. As long as kids work hard this off-season
the future will be very bright for |
|
|
|
all of the Tiger Faithful. |

|
|
|
The 2006 Varsity Football team had 16 members of it |
|
Over the past 3 years, we have made the trip over to |
|
|
on the Honor Roll after the end of the 1st Trimester. |
|
Muskegon Oakridge for our scrimmage. But, we are |
|
|
Congrats to the following students: |
|
|
happy to announce that we will be able to HOST this |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
scrimmage at our place this year. Oakridge has new |
|
|
Honor Roll Students: |
|
|
|
"field turf" being put in place and this allowed us |
|
|
Josh Alverson |

|
this opportunity. The scrimmage will be August 17th @ |
|
Eric Evans |
|
Cody Simons |

What's Happening This
Off-season so far? |
|
|
|
|
The Off-season started off with 8 Future Varsity Football players taking
a trip to Ford Field to watch the Finals |
|
|
and its been in full swing ever since. Our weight room attendance has
continued to go up each week and at |
|
|
the end of January we averaged 12 Varsity players and 11 underclassman.
This number is slightly up from |
|
|
last season and this is with 27 players involved in winter sports right
now…which is also up from last season. |
|
|
And yet another positive, is that 6 of these Winter Sport Athletes (
Spooner, Hernandez, Mikula, Frey, Ferrer, |
|
|
and Vanputten) have put in extra effort by attending several weight room
sessions. |
|
|
|
|
Were also excited about a couple other events coming up over the next
month. First, we have 2 of our QB's |
|
|
attending a camp in early March (Vanputten and Becker). Secondly, we
expect to have nearly 20 kids |
|
|
|
participate in the Regional Power lifting Meet which will be held at Lee
High School on Feb. 24th. We |
|
|
|
would love for anyone to come out and support these kids at these
events. |
|
|
|
|
|
The level of commitment has been better than ever so far this
off-season. However, we still have about 20% |
|
|
of our players not involved in anything right now which needs to
change. If you look at our schedule |
|
|
|
next year (which is on the following page) and look at our history with
these teams, its obvious that we |
|
|
|
can't just show up in August and expect to win. The work has to begin
right now. Do you really expect |
|
|
|
to be a playoff team or are you just someone who enjoys talking.
COMMITMENT HAS NO OFF-SEASON!! |
