Third-year head coach Matt Thompson has the Tigers at 13-0, for the first time in school history.
"All the pieces were in place when I got here," Thompson told 10Sports WTSP. "It was just having the kids believe in themselves, and believe they can accomplish winning games and winning every game, and taking one game at a time."
