Since the era of Coach Cliff Watkins and his staff, the Glen Rose Tigers have seen their share of adjustments in battle tactics—each tailored to the unique skill levels of the team. We've witnessed it all: the ugly, the pretty, the slow starts that built into explosive finishes. We've played in stadiums that felt like cathedrals of competition and others that made you question your faith in humanity. Through it all, Watkins and his crew have operated like master chess players, always thinking three moves ahead, positioning themselves for checkmate. Some programs have the luxury of corn-fed, battle-ready warriors filling their hallways, kids who look like they were built in a factory for football. That’s not us. What we have is different, kids with grit. Kids with enough talent to build something special, but who rely on coaching, preparation, and intelligence to close the gap. Like Cliff says, “Do your job.” The key to the equation is teaching players to think like champions, not just play like them. When the strategy game outweighs the brute strength of an opponent, that’s when Tiger football becomes fun. That’s when patience pays off—trusting the coaches to make the right adjustments and watching teammates come together as a true unit. This year, the motto is “OMAS”—One Mission, Any Storm. No matter what comes—speed, size, or even unclassy behavior from the other side—the Tigers have one goal: reclaim the region, play as one, and carve their names into the record books. So buckle up, fans. The storm is coming.
