The Many Tigers, fresh off of their second state championship season, are warmed up and look ready to face their upcoming challenge of the Tioga Indians on September 24.
Many quickly fell to 0-1 on the season after a disheartening and rare loss at home to the Union Parish Farmers by a score of 42-32.
The Tigers often play higher classified schools at the start of the season, and this was one of those games, as the Tigers are 2A while the Farmers are 3A.
Many came out strong and looking for a win over a team that has become quite the rival over the past few years. The Farmers lost the ball while receiving the opening kickoff and the Tigers fell on it to force the turnover. They capitalized on the first drive of the game, with Tackett Curtis and London Williams establishing a presence the team hopes to maintain throughout the year. In fact, it was a handoff to Williams to score the Tigers’ first score of the year to put Many up 8-0.
