Once a Tiger, Always a Tiger

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There is a saying where I am from that goes like this, "<strong>Once a Tiger, Always a Tiger</strong>!"</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Most of my Tennessee followers know that I'm from WV. I've lived in Knoxville for almost 7 years now. One thing remains true, I'm a Tiger, &amp; I'll always be a Tiger! I always wanted to go upstate to compete for a state title. I did play in a state championship game. However, I never accomplished that as a Tiger. I only accomplished that at MCA! Enough about me, this is about NOW! The Princeton Tigers went on a magical run last year! Can they do it again this year? </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Opening night went in favor of Princeton. Princeton beat sectional rival Woodrow Wilson to start the season 1-0. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I was extremely impressed by the play of [player_tooltip player_id='818279' first='Kalee' last='Wright'] and [player_tooltip player_id='979378' first='Asia' last='Collins']. I was also left impressed with the entire Princeton team defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='818279' first='Kalee' last='Wright']'s half court buzzer beater shot at the end of the first quarter sparked a nice Princeton run! The 5'5 shooting guard is athletic and has a good understanding of the game! High IQ kid with a natural feel for the game. Wright uses her length extremely well! Kalee is a scoring threat from all 3 levels. If you don't close out, Wright is blowing by you! She attacks the rim strong and gets to the basket with ease! Tallied 17 points in the opening game for Princeton! Keep your eyes on this one! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='979378' first='Asia' last='Collins'] is one of the best on ball defenders. Collins is an electric guard that is fun to watch. Be ready to work when Collins is defending you! The point guard does a little of everything for her Princeton team. Asia is a high energy athlete with a non-stop motor! This one turns defense to offense faster than you can blink! If you love defense, you will love [player_tooltip player_id='979378' first='Asia' last='Collins']! Collins scored 12 points to go along with numerous steals! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='384036' first='Maddie' last='Stull'] is a name that is heard all over Princeton! The volleyball stand out recently signed to continue her education &amp; volleyball career at Concord University! Stull will continue to be a good inside presence for this Tigerettes team. Her senior leadership will be needed to make another state tournament run! Maddie is a fundamentally sound player that rebounds exceptionally well! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1058838' first='Addisyn' last='Sarver'] is another athlete on this Princeton squad that you need to know. Sarver grabbed my attention by playing "tough as nails." You can call her a glue kid, an all out extra effort kid, or whatever you need. Addisyn is going to do whatever is needed for this Princeton team. Her effort was 130% and that is what all coaches love to see! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1058840' first='Carley' last='Hurt'], Brie Bane, and other athletes on this Princeton team will contribute minutes in order for this team to be successful. One Team, One Heartbeat! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Good luck this year to the coaching staff and the Princeton Tigerettes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
