One year after winning the program’s first-ever district championship in 2024, the Tioga Bulldogs football team battled through an injury-riddled 2025 season.
Two of the biggest names bitten by the injury bug were senior quarterback Cole Boyd and senior wide receiver/linebacker Jake David, and with the injuries now behind them, both players look to cap their final season in Tioga with a bang.
“From a coach's standpoint and even as a parent, I hated it for them last year because you don’t ever want to see an injury to any of the kids, but those two are some of the hardest-working kids,” said Zach Birdwell, Tioga athletic director and head football coach. “Watching them do everything to get back, whether it was in the weight room or out on the field, speaks volumes about who they are, and I’m just excited to get to see them do what they love again.”
