Tigers Evening Practice 8/19

The Tigers coaches and players were making the most of their final evening practice before theyscrimmage in Sulphur Springs tomorrow night.

If you are in town tomorrow morning, THS Lady Tigers volleyball will play in our home tournament at 8 a.m., 9 a.m. and noon.

Ready For Some Football?

In a little more than a week, the Terrell Tigers will kick off their 2010 gridiron campaign at Kaufman. Just two weeks later, Terrell begins District 15-4A play.

That makes this Friday’s scrimmage against Sulphur Springs all the more important, according to Tiger football coach Chris Gilbert.

“This is a very important game for us,” Gilbert said. “This will be the first time we line up to face live competition this season. With a short non-district season, we have to use this game to evaluate which kids are ready to compete now.”

The Wildcats amassed a 10-4 record en route to a Division II Class 4A regional finalist berth in 2009. Just a year removed from a state title, Gilbert believes Sulphur Springs provides the perfect warm-up game for the Tigers as they ready for a grueling 2010 season.

Action gets under way at Gerald Prim Stadium at 5:30 p.m. with junior varsity and freshman squads playing at the same time. The varsity scrimmage, which tentatively kicks off at 7 p.m., will include offensive and defensive series for the first and second teams as well as kicking game drills before playing two quarters of live action scrimmage.

Check out this Thursday's Tribune for more of my conversation with Coach Gilbert about the scrimmage. 

THS Volleyball starts with a win

The Lady Tigers volleyball team started the season off with a win over Poetry Community Christian School Tuesday night... see the full story in today's Tribune.

This is Tonisha Dean posing for our special fall sports preview section coming out next Thursday. You will want to grab it for stories and thoughts from coaches about football, volleyball, tennis, golf and cross country.

Are You Ready For Some Football?

Chris Gilbert has heard all the predictions. He’s seen the magazine articles. Heck, he’s even heard the talk around town. 

But the second-year Terrell High School head football coach doesn’t need others to tell him how hard of a task he and the Tigers have ahead of them as they embark on a 2010 season in the newly-aligned District 15-4A.

He knows it’s going to be tough to be in a rare nine-team district that boasts some of north Texas’ top Class 4A programs. He knows the challenge that lies ahead.

And, more importantly, he welcomes it.

The motto for this year's squad is "Why Not Us?" 

And that's exactly what the Tigers will be thinking as they look to topple the likes of West Mesquite, Waxahachie, Corsicana, Ennis, Red Oak, Forney and Mesquite Poteet en route to a second straight playoff berth. 

Find out more about the Tigers and the 2010 season in our annual Fall Sports Preview, which comes out Aug. 19 in The Terrell Tribune.
