Hi everybody! We have started a forum for wrestling. Just click on the Forums tab at the top of the page and it'll take you there. Feel free to discuss anything and everything,just, as always, keep it clean and as positive as possible.

Practices were going really well before the Christmas break. Be ready to knuckle down this Friday (the 9th) and get back to work!

Don't forget about the Chili Bowl Benefit at Gracie's this Sunday. Your money must be turned in Friday at practice.

Well, the rumor is correct and the wheels are in motion. We have established a new program for youth wrestling (RYW) or Rockford Youth Wrestling. This program is focused on children in grades K-8. Melanie, thanks for your blog but I was notified that the 24th was a conflict. Flyers will be sent out Thursday the 13th and we will have an introduction to wrestling on Tuesday November the 18th. We will have a guest speaker from AAU. Sign ups will be held at the school gym on December 6th from 9am til noon.

Hi All. know most of you got the handout at the Eagle Bowl yeasterday, but for those of you who have already lost it, or weren't at the game, These are the important dates to remember in the next few weeks:

**Monday November 3- Equipment turn in. **You will meet at Rockford Elementary school at 6pm to turn in all equipment that was issued to you. This includes game pants, practice pants, pads, helmet. Your game jersey is yours to keep, as is anything that you bought yourself such as your mouth guard and socks, athletic supporter... This is for all teams.

Hi Guys- Just a quick update for you, if you weren't at practice last night... Thursday's practice has been canceled due to the Rockford Tigers Basketball home game.

The Eagle Bowl on Saturday will be played at Lanier. Pee-wee's need to be at the field by noon. Don't have any info for the Grasshoppers or Midgets. If you can fill in those blanks, feel free to do so in the comments section.

Big game tonight for the Pee-wees... Big Win tonight for the Pee-wees!!!!

Rockford Tiger Pee-Wee's won their playoff game tonight against Southside (Lanier) by a score of 27-7!!! Everybody played a huge role in tonight's win, and the whole team should be very proud!

We got a little video tonight, special thanks to Katie Diemer, who took control of the camera while the rockfordtigers.com staff was having personnel problems... (misbehaving kid!!) We'll get that up as soon as the A/V dept doesn't have homework.

What an exciting game last night!! It was edge of the seat exciting for all 4 quarters and then some! The Tiger Pee-Wee's beat the Friendsville Falcons 19 to 13 on overtime. Yep, that's right, overtime!

Hi guys. In case you weren't at practice on Friday, there has been a schedule change for the Pee-wee team. It concerns the games being played in Friendsville this week. If you have checked the schedule tab in the upper corner, you'll notice that all 3 teams were scheduled to play this Tuesday night, October the 7th. That has changed. The grasshoppers and the Midgets will play as scheduled, but the Pee-wee's game is being postponed until Thursday October 16th.

What a great game last night!! Pee-Wee's won a 6-0 victory over the Maryville Cubs, but more exciting that that, they won their Homecoming game!!

Things were tense the first half of the game. Coach David took his hat off twice!! But whatever pep talk was delivered at half time, the Tigers came out ready to pounce! They marched that ball down the field and on a 3rd and goal play, rammed that ball across into the end zone for a TD!! They missed the point after, but that was okay. That score gave them their 6-0 lead.

Hi Everybody! We have a few details on the Pee-Wee's fundraiser for this year... Pancake Breakfast!! The date will be Saturday October 18th.

If you have any further details to give, like where and what time... (last year it was Applebee's from ungodly early until reasonably before lunch :) ), please post them in the comments section here. Coach David is supposed to get some more information to us, so we'll post it on here when he does.

Hey All!!!! Last night's Pee Wee game was AWESOME!!! I got some really good photos and will get them uploaded soon!

A quick recap of the game:

End of the first quarter.....the Tigers were on top 7-0.
Halftime......another touchdown in the second quarter put our Tigers into a commanding 14-0 lead!
At the close of the third quarter.....another touchdown and missed the point after attempt increased the lead making the score 20-0!!!
In the final quarter, our attempts at a fourth TD were thwarted and we allowed the Southside Eagles to score.
