COLUMBUS, Miss (WCBI Sports) -- The New Albany Tigers are entering the 2012 season looking to have another solid year, and they expect defense to lead them there. With such an experienced team like New Albany has, coach Ron Price expects that experience to lead them into 2012. The Tigers come into the year returning 9 defensive players most of which coach Price says have started or had significant playing time last season and should expect to be looked at for leadership this year. With New Albany's only district lose last year coming to 2-time defending state champions in Lafayette County, the Tigers have plenty of positives to look at for the success of the 2012 campaign.
