Fresh off a heat check loss to the Tom Bean Tomcats, the Tioga Bulldogs look for their second district win in a matchup against the Whitewright Tigers on Friday.
The Tigers enter the contest hungry, looking for their first district win after being steamrolled by Tom Bean 69-6 in their district opener Sept. 26.
“They’re good at what they do offensively,” said Zach Birdwell, Tioga athletic director and head football coach. “Coach [Gary] Roland has had a lot of success in lots of places. He won a state championship with this offense at Gunter and was really successful in his time at Rogers, so we know we’re going to roll into this matchup with an offense that has a ton of answers to different things and is going to give us a bunch of different looks, so we’re going to have to be very sound on defense.”
