Congratulations Our Football Team - The Wilson Tigers scored a resounding victory over Maret 41 to 10 Friday evening. It was an impressive win! From what I am told, we had more fans than Wilson has had in years. The team plays this Friday, September 19th against Coolidge at 7 pm. I strongly encourage you to show your school spirit and pride this Friday and make some noise.
