Young Straughn Tiger football fans Zade Newton, left, and Tucker Ward, watch the pep rally Thursday night, patiently awaiting tonight’s home playoff game with Bayside.

Do the Straughn High School Tigers fans believe their team can get past the visiting Bayside Admirals for the second time this year, this time in the playoffs? You bet they do.

And their enthusiasm could be seen out in full force Thursday night during a community pep rally held at Tigers Stadium.

As the football team took their rare moment in the stands to shake the traditional milk jugs, the SHS cheerleaders and marching band members put on a show for the packed bleachers.

Straughn students will be treated to their own pep rally today, before the Tigers meet the Admirals in the third round of the playoffs tonight at 7 p.m.
