STROUD ATHLETICS<br />
“BUILDING CHARACTER AND CHAMPIONS<br />
THROUGH COMPETITIVE ATHLETICS”<br />
It’s that time of the year again when the colors and pageantry of the fall come to life all<br />
across the country. The Friday night lights and cameras come on and test the mettle of focused<br />
participants. Offseason work is called into question as players get down in the mud, dirt and<br />
grime. New and age-old strategies will be honed and implemented but when all is said and<br />
done it will be all about the fundamentals. It is time for our beloved Stroud Tigers to walk onto<br />
their prospective playing fields and battle district, conference and non-district foes. Our<br />
devoted fans, students, faculty and alumni will gather to witness the progress of our mighty<br />
Stroud Tigers.<br />
I simply love the new car smell but not as much as I love the smell of Stroud Athletics<br />
beginning in the fall. The medicine to appease this smell is to go out and watch one of the<br />
many teams (high school or middle school) battling our opponent on the playing field. Our<br />
athletic programs have been challenged and bars have been set by previous athletic teams.<br />
Our current Tigers are eager and willing to meet and exceed the legacy left by former Stroud<br />
Tigers. Resting on ones laurels is not a trait exhibited by our tigers. Rising to challenges and<br />
playing competitive schedules are trademarks of Stroud Athletics. Competition breeds winners<br />
and adversity builds character.<br />
We will see all shades of color and changing momentums in various sports at various levels<br />
this fall. Just remember, there may be the beautiful red, orange and yellow colors of leaves<br />
falling but the most beautiful color of all will be the majestic Blue and White of the empowered<br />
Stroud Tigers.<br />
