Tigers Face Tuscola in State 3A Playoff Rematch
Ragsdale carries a 12-0 record into the third round as they host Mountaineers Tuscola. The Tigers will be without halfback Harold Odum who broke a collarbone at Central Cabarrus, a loss that opens a vacancy on defense. Roscoe Friday likely steps in on defense while Larrick, Kemp, and Friday provide insights on dual roles and shifting line play guiding a strong, one‑way defense.
