Tucker Tigers Seek 2-0 Start Versus North Atlanta

After roaring out of the gates two weeks ago in their 2013 season opener with a 51-12 thumping of Cedar Grove, Coach Bryan Lamar's Tucker Tigers return to the field on Friday night against North Atlanta.

Ranked No. 2 in Class AAAAA, the Tigers will face a Warriors team that fell 26-13 to Stone Mountain in its opener last weekend. Kickoff Friday at Adams Stadium is set for 8 p.m.

It’s the Region 6-AAAAA opener for both schools. The Warriors, who went 1-9 a year ago, were blanked 40-0 last season by the Tigers. The game will be streamed live here: http://www.nfhsnetwork.com/channels/tucker-tucker-georgia
