W E L C O M E The Tucker Tiger Tip-Off Club welcomes you to the
2010-2011 Tucker High School Basketball Season!
This year promises to be our best yet. We look forward to
another winning season. We are prepared to follow in the
footsteps of the undefeated 2010-2011 Tucker Tiger
football team.
There is so much excitement in the air at THS these days. We’ve
got seniors going to some of the top colleges in the country.
We’ve got a new building and of course…A New Gym!
Our players haven’t had their own gym in two year. But now
we have a state of the art gym to go along with our state of
the art athletes. And we are so proud that you will have the
opportunity to share it with us.
Our players have worked hard to continue the legacy of
excellence that has been established at Tucker High School over
many years. They are focused on continuing to represent the
great Tucker Community.
Thank you to Principal Jackson, Coach Hartry, Coach Potter,
Coach Cooper and Coach Blake… our assistant coaches,
managers and medical staff. Thank you to all of the teachers
who have helped our boys and girls stay focused on education
first. Thank you to the cheerleaders for their “Tucker Spirit”.
Thank you to all of our sponsors and supporters who continue
to be there for us every year. Most importantly, Thank You to
all of the members of the Tip Off Club and every parent of every
player who has allowed your child to be a part of one of the
best basketball programs in DeKalb County. We appreciate your
support and look forward to seeing you in the stands.
LET’S GO TIGERS! Sincerely,
TUCKER TIGER TIP OFF CLUBGEORGIA HARDWOOD GUIDE0 4
