Tiger Fans Get Sneak Peek This Weekend
|
The Ardmore Tigers will give their fans what they have been waiting for Friday night when they travel to Florence to face the Wilson Warriors in a scrimmage game. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. The price of admission is $6. The Warriors completed their 2005 season with a 4-6 record. Like the Tigers they compete in Class 4A. Coach Tracy Malone will make his coaching debut with the Tigers on Friday. Malone will bring with him an energized football team that is expected to be stronger and more experienced. There are 17 returning starters from last year’s team that did not taste victory but lost five of those games by a touchdown or less. |
