The Tigers have struggled to win in the last quarter of a century with three winning seasons and one break-even mark in that span. Ardmore has stopped and started in recent years, going at least .500 for the first time in 11 seasons in 2003 followed by a 7-4 record. Ardmore then went 0-10 then bounced back to log an 8-3 mark in ’06. The Tigers have gone 1-9, 4-6, 1-9 and 4-6 since. Brown, entering his third season after stops at Bob Jones, Greensboro and Southern Academy, said his players have the right work ethic. But Brown is still charged with changing the culture into a winning one. "We've got good kids here, and this is a good town. We can win here, and we will win here but we've got to be patient We've got to build the program for the ground up."
The Tigers are looking for their first winning season and playoff game since 2006. Ardmore's program made process with four wins last year. Few returning starters but Brown expects more progress. The Tigers will have to find a way to make up the offensive production of quarterback J. Tribble and receiver Matt Teeples, who led the offense to an average of 22.2 points a game. Senior Tyler Scoggins and freshman Garett Miller are the frontrunners to replace Tribble at quarterback. Running back Gavin Calder will have three returning starters blocking for him. Calder said, "Hunter Pack, he's our left guard; Jacob Petritsch and Cody Bigomy are my two fullbacks. They open up the holes for me."
