Ty's Take
The Tigers took care of business Friday night, which is what you want to see before the real schedule starts grinding in October. Forty-one to thirty-three against Santa Fe says the offense showed up and the defense found its footing, and that matters more than any preseason game has a right to. Out here where football Friday is still the thing that moves people, where families plan their whole week around kickoff, you want your team walking into district play knowing they can move the ball and make stops. The fishing report suggests the season's been inconsistent at the usual spots, but our boys gave Alamogordo something steady to hold onto this week.
