After a strong six-year run in what is now Class 2A, the Anson Tigers are adding an ‘A’ to their classification this fall.

But while fifth-year coach Chris Hagler acknowledges that development is the most intriguing storyline surrounding his program this season, he doesn’t seem too concerned by it.

Coming out of a district that featured Stamford, Hawley and Post, the Tigers won’t see a level of play significantly better than they’re used to, Hagler said. And he believes Anson, which won 10 games in 2012, 2013 and 2016 will have as much control over its playoff fate as it ever has.
