Ciccotelli takes the reins from Al Chiola, who stepped down after 10 seasons at the helm โ ushering in a bold new era for the Tigers.
With 15 seniors gone, itโs a young squad this year โ but donโt count them out.

โWeโre youngโ said AD Mike Firestone, โbut Coach Ciccotelli has the right stuff to get the best out of these players.โ
And thatโs saying something โ Ciccotelliโs rรฉsumรฉ includes multiple championships and a reputation for turning teams into title contenders.
