UP FOR THEIR FIRST SCRIMMAGE TOMORROW AS THEY
TAKE ON GROESBECK.
THE LAST TIME THE TIGERS MET UP AGAINST GROESBECK
ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD WAS IN THE 2016 PLAYOFFS, WHEN
THE TIGERS BEAT THE GOATS 42 TO 28 AT WACO I-S-D STADIUM.
DAVION FORD RUSHED FOR 200 YARDS AND 3 TOUCHDOWNS
IN THE WIN.
THE 2018 TIGERS ARE WORKING TO DEVELOP AN IDENTITY
OF THEIR OWN AS THE NEW SEASON DRAWS NEAR. THE TIGERS
WILL HAVE NEW STARTERS IN VARIOUS SPOTS AND WILL HAVE
A NEW OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR CALLING THE PLAYS.
ETHAN NOEL TAKES OVER THE REINS OF THE OFFENSE AFTER
THE DEPARTURE OF FORMER OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR
BRANDON HOUSTON, WHO IS NOW THE HEAD COACH AT
BUFFALO.
PART OF DEVELOPING AN OFFENSE GOING INTO A NEW
SEASON IS DETERMINING THE TYPES OF PLAYERS YOU HAVE
AND WHERE ALL THE PIECES FIT.
ROCKDALE TIGER OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR
ETHAN NOEL SAYS WITH THE ATHLETES PLAYING FOR
THE TIGERS IN 2018, THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO ATTACK
OFFENSIVELY IN A VARIETY OF WAYS…
“I THINK WE HAVE A LOT OF GUYS THAT CAN PLAY
IN DIFFERENT SPOTS. SO, THAT GIVES US A LITTLE BIT OF
ROOM TO PLAY, AND HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF FUN, AND
MOVE SOME PEOPLE AROUND, AND GIVE SOME PEOPLE
SOME DIFFERENT LOOKS.”
FOLLOW THE TIGERS THROUGHOUT THE 2018 SEASON
RIGHT HERE ON 98.5 KRXT.
