After the cheerleaders, it was the Varsity and JV softball teams’ turn. The Lady Tigers were introduced to their fans by head coach Lucas Riley. Then it was coach Troy Carper’s turn to introduce the 2020 edition of the Tiger football team. 

The event wrapped up with another peppy tune and performance from the band and cheerleaders. Attendees were then invited to partake in a free-will donation meal of pork loin, cole slaw, baked beans, dessert and drinks. The meal was served by students who are participants in the various fall activities.
