The Howard High School football team rallies around a football at the beginning of practice.Fan’s guide to this year’s Howard Hustlin’ Tigers
Coach: Michael Calloway (0-9 beginning second year here) Stadium: Red Gaston Stadium Address: 2500 South Market St., Chattanooga, TN 37408
THREE STRENGTHS
1) The defensive line will be a plus with big Brandon Walters (6-8, 279) and Xavier Harris (6-3, 232) as the anchors. They may be standing up at the snap and coming through to disrupt.
2) Running back could be a strength with senior LaWayane Ruffin, but coaches would feel better if they knew the offensive line would develop. A definite leader is center Antonio Woodall. If they didn’t play until September the Tigers might have been able to develop depth before beginning, but their opener is Aug. 17.
