SUMMARY: Sponsored by Southern Housing, today‘s “Grind to Glory” highlights the Wiona High School Tigers, the defending 3A state champions. Head coach Joey Tomkins returns for his 11th season, leading the team that has won four consecutive district titles and its first state championship last year. This season, the Tigers face challenges with only three defensive and four offensive returning starters. Senior linebackers Lockart and Garrett, key players from last year’s defense, are optimistic about their team’s potential. They aim to stabilize the defense as the Tigers prepare to kick off their 2024 season at home against Newton County High.

The Winona Tigers come into the 2024 as the reigning 3A champions.
