Ripley looks to stay competitive despite numerous departures

Ripley has won at least nine games in each of the last three seasons under head coach Perry Liles, but the Tigers have their work cut out for them if they want to make it four.

The Tigers went 9-2 last season before getting upset in the first round of the playoffs, and they face the challenge of replacing a large senior class, especially on defense. That unit was one of Ripley’s calling cards last season, as the Tigers only gave up 13.8 points per game.
