It was a magical year in the community of Charleston in 2022. The Tigers won another state football championship in a year that saw Charleston dominate their opponents all season long.
Last year’s state championship team was led by a large and extremely talented senior class that is graduating this month, and the torch will now be passed to the next group of Tigers to continue their winning ways.
Charleston head football coach, Ricky May, was the keynote speaker at last evening’s Charleston Chamber of Commerce Banquet, and in his presentation to the many in attendance, he certainly did not disappoint. Coach May, a developer of not only great athletes, but a mentor and developer of fine young men, presented his philosophy of building not only great Tiger football players, but solid young men who will go on to be great men, husbands, and fathers.
And on Monday, Coach May will begin the reloading process of trying to replace those seniors who were so successful in their careers at Charleston. Spring drills will begin, absent those who are still competing for a state baseball championship next week at Lincoln. Those players will eventually rejoin their football teammates, and before you know it, spring practice will conclude and the next phase of the season, summer workouts, summer camps, and eventually, August preseason practice will be upon us.
RNN Sports will be in Charleston at some point during spring practice to bring you an update from the coaches on the progress of the team, along with action photos from the Tigers’ workouts. And stay with us this summer as we bring you coverage of the Tigers summer football camps!
Good luck to Coach May and the Charleston Tigers as they turn their focus to the upcoming fall football season!
