CATAWISSA—The Tigers of Southern Columbia celebrate their 50thAnniversary this year. The first varsity squad was established in 1963. After five decades, the Tigers have won six state championships and have a team this year that many think can contend for a seventh. However, it’s only week one and a lot can happen before week sixteen.
For the second year in a row the Tigers opened up the season against the Pius X Royals. Last season, the Tigers dominated from the start and came out with a 61-0 road victory in Bangor. This year, the Royals kept it much more competitive and after the opening quarter ended, the score remained 0-0.  Both defenses showed up to play it seemed a lot earlier than the offenses did. The only real scoring opportunity in the opening quarter ended in a missed 34-yard field goal by Tigers junior kicker Luke Rarig that had the distance, but went wide left.
