Obviously a homer here, but I will be interested to see what the Warsaw Tigers do in year 2 under Bart Curtis. They over exceeded my personal expectations last year, and in no way was that due to doubting the Tiger coaching staff. Implementing a completely new offensive philosophy and getting the players and community to "buy in" to it was going to be a hurdle in my opinion. However, they were only a few points away from going 10-0 in the regular season last year and even led Penn at halftime of their 1st round sectional game. A revamped out of conference schedule (replacing 4A schools Columbia City and East Noble with 5A foes Huntington North and Michigan City) and higher expectations following the "success" of 2018... I am very excited and interested to see how Warsaw does in 2019!

The start of the football season is 7 months away, but that shouldn't stop us from talking about the 2019 season in the NLC. A few things to note: - Warsaw will have new opponents in Weeks 1 and 2 this year. The Tigers will host Huntington North in week 1 and travel to famed Ames Field for a week 2 matchup against Michigan City. Overall I would say this is a bump up in competition for Warsaw's non-conference schedule although I enjoyed the opening game against Columbia City (easy drive down US 30) and thought East Noble was a solid program to face. - Northridge will be getting a new turf football stadium (was well as turf baseball and softball fields) that should be ready for the 2020 school year.
