Outlook: “The 2012 Tigers are looking to capitalize on the momentum they gained from last year’s Thanksgiving Day win vs. Conwell-Egan.  The off-season was extremely exciting, and we welcomed 65 players into camp; of which only five were seniors.
“Furthermore, most of the sophomores and juniors saw Varsity action last year so I can’t say we are young anymore because the experience is there.
“While undersized vs. the rest of the SOL National the Tigers will rely on speed and grit to make it through the gauntlet.”
