opening night in tiger town was a nice one for the waynesville football team, despite almost 100 yards in penalties, and committing 4 turnovers…you overcome that with ball control and it’s been a long time since a waynesville tiger team racked up 24 first downs in a game, but when you get that many, that means you owned the offense side of the ball and the tigers go to 1-0 after a 49-28 win over the parkview vikings…
we visit with coach joe haynes next..

 

ERIC RICHARSON SCORED 4 TD’S, TAU ASI ADDED 2, AND MARION FIAME CAUGHT A 19 YARD PASS, PLUS THE SAFETY AND IT WAS A GOOD NIGHT FOR THE CROWN IN TIGER TOWN..
