Smith-Cotton Football Holds Black & Gold Scrimmage

The Smith-Cotton Tigers Football team held its annual Black & Gold Scrimmage on Saturday, Aug. 13, at Tiger Stadium.

First-year Head Coach Josh Gray said he was pleased with the team's hustle, pass protection and how the defense was flowing to the ball carrier. He also thanked the families and fans who came out and donated many cases of sports drinks for the program.

The Tigers will compete in a jamboree at 7 pm Friday, Aug. 19, in Camdenton before their season opener against Moberly at 7 pm Aug. 26 at Tiger Stadium.
