A Glimpse of the Out-of-State Challenges

Alongside their Ohio rivals, the Tigers have lined up some compelling out-of-state opponents, including:

  • Rabun Gap – Nacoochee (Georgia) on September 5
  • Bennett (New York) on September 12
  • Football North (Ontario, Canada) on September 26

These teams had an overall record of 81-40 last year, so the Tigers will definitely have their work cut out for them!

The Rivalry Continues

The schedule also includes a classic fixture: that thrilling annual rivalry against Canton McKinley, set to take place on October 25. This beloved tradition will have the Tigers competing at the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, undoubtedly bringing an electric atmosphere filled with energy and excitement.

Home Sweet Home at Paul Brown Tiger Stadium

Fans can breathe a sigh of relief as all home games are hosted at the historic Paul Brown Tiger Stadium. With its storied past and vibrant energy from roaring fans, there’s nothing quite like cheering on the Tigers in their home den!

A Team in Transition

In terms of team dynamics, the Tigers are looking to strengthen their gameplay with a solid defense, returning seven full-time starters from the previous year.

But despite the glorious past, there are definitely plans to move forward and continue building on that success!

Looking Ahead

The Southeastern Ohio football season promises fireworks and fierce competition, and although this year’s schedule is considered less challenging than previous seasons, it will still test the skills and grit of our Tigers.
