Team's low scorer in 2011
The Tigers sport a new coach and a lot of new players as they prepare for the 2012 season.
Jon Stock, who has coached in the Farmington middle school football program the past five years, takes over as head coach and inherits just three letterwinners from last year squad that finished at the back of the pack in the Missota Conference.
"We have a couple of strong players returning and we have many new players," Stock said.
"I've never coached the sport before, but I've been playing it for decades. It's a great game and it's an honor to be coaching it here."
The three returning letterwinners--senior Megan Elliott, junior Alexis House and sophomore Brianna Swenson--expect to form the nucleus of the varsity lineup.
New faces expected to battle for the other spots include senior Amanda Steinkeoway and freshmen Kaitlin Jokinen, Jessica Olson, Jessica Singewald and Halea Wright.
Stock is not familiar with the competition his team will face in the Missota Conference this spring but perennial powers Red Wing and New Prague both return strong teams and are expected to be contenders.
Former Tiger softball coach Heather Ballstadt will coach the middle school golfers.
The new-look Tigers open season play Saturday, Apr.14, with an appearance at the Faribault Invitational at the Legacy Golf Club
