A powerful end to a legendary football weekend. Tigers exchanging number 17 jersey with MSD after the game. Players & coaches from both teams then took a knee to pray. Words cannot express how wonderful this experience has been for our Tigers!
Lots of smiling faces delivering grad signs today... Not sure who was happier the grads or the teachers doing the deliveries! We miss you Grads and it was good to see you from a safe distance!
