Tigers hungry to ‘do more’
By ZACH SLANEY Head Coach, King’s Ridge Christian School Football
Tiger Nation!
We are excited for the upcoming football season and the brotherhood this team has formed over the offseason.
The team aims to build off last year's successes, including the first winning record in a full varsity season as well as the first playoff win in program history. This group of young men has committed to the weight room this offseason and we look forward to continuing to develop our team’s on-field identity of physicality and relentless effort.
With 45 players, and only 17 upperclassmen, this team will rely on

several young players to step into key roles this season. They have risen to the challenge all summer and we are eager to see their growth and contributions throughout the season.
We also return a strong core group of players from last year. We are excited to see them continue to push our program’s culture and standards forward as we strive to build off the previous success from last year. This team has a hunger and drive to “do more”. The team embraces our program’s core values of Faith, Effort, Discipline (F.E.D.) as these values guide our daily decisions both on and off the field. We trust in God to provide us the F.E.D. to glorify Him in everything we do.
Thank you to our community for their support of our team last season and we look forward to having you ‘loud and proud!’ at our games this year! Go Tigers!
