Tiger Sports Round Up

Football

The Tigers were supposed to play Highland on Sept. 12, but in a surprise move the Huskies forfeited the game. The reason was due to a lack of numbers. Head coach Cory Quall resigned on Monday leaving the team in further disarray.

The reason given was due to injuries making it a safety issue. The New London team was disappointed, but having a 16-man roster makes the local coaches very aware of the possible problem with limited numbers.

The game won’t be made up with the Tigers getting a win by forfeit. Highland plans to resume the season on Sept. 26 at Danville.

Next up for the Tigers is the home game against Wapello starting at 7 p.m. on Sept. 19. It will also be Ag night. Lots of fun activities are planned. See you there … Go Tigers!
