STOCKBRIDGE Playing against M.L. King was all part of the plan for Stockbridge coach Kevin Whitley. It was a season-opening challenge against a top-5 opponent with an impressive reputation for success, a measuring stick to gauge the Tigers progress in Whitleys fourth season.
Losing 23-0 may not have been part of the plan nor the bad snap on a punt or the four fumbles on offense but Stockbridge isnt looking back.
