Tiger Pride




My hubby and I were seniors at Biddeford High School in 1992. Back then, football jersey #74 was worn by our friend, Scott. Today, (even though we never spoke in high school) Tom and I have been married for nearly 11 years, our friend Scott is now Coach Descoteaux, the head football coach and #74 is proudly worn by this BHS senior, Justin.

We've known Justin since he was just a little guy (he and his family used to live above us in a Biddeford apartment when we were just starting out). I was thrilled to see him again and happy to see that he's turned into a polite, smart and athletic young man.

The essence of Tiger Pride, Justin is one of the captains of the football team this year, and a talented and accomplished discus and shot put thrower for the track team. He's looking forward to his senior year and a track-and-field career at UMO after that.

I know Justin will be successful in whatever he does. His sense of humor alone will take him far. It was so fun for me to look back a little, as Justin does nothing but look ahead.
