Tough end to the season for the Tigers, who lost their last four games after starting the season 3-1.
North Bend Central ends the year at 3-5.
Brodey Johnson finished the season with 1,536 yards passing with 13 touchdowns and 7 interceptions.
Mullaly had 828 yards rushing on the year to lead the team.
The Tigers lose Peters, Allan Orellana, Preston Thomsen, Gage Dunn, Taylor, Jarrett Poessnecker, Mullaly, Justin Drake, Johnston, Jace Owen, Demarius Bosveld, Landon Krenzer, Peyton Mitties, and Jacob Sousek to graduation.
Lots of seniors and lots of talent lost to graduation.
Key returners for next year include Johnson, Kaden Juhl, Ian Virka, and Gavin Kirschenmann.
Not a lot back for the Tigers next year so it will be up to the young guys to develop and grow in the offseason and step up next year.
There's a lot of work for North Bend Central to do if they want to get back to what they were prior to the 2nd half of the season this year.
The pandemic interruption literally changed the course of the season for North Bend Central.
The Tigers just weren't the same after not playing the Schuyler game in the middle of the season.
It's unfortunate, but it is what it is.
Hopefully things will get back to normal before next season rolls around.
