Tigers History!

The original Tigers were first known as the South End Green Dragon in 1938 and converted into the Waynesboro Tigers in the early 1940's. World War II broke the team up before they formally reorganized in 1947 and joined what would be known as the Interstate Football League, playing their first game against the York White Roses. They played into the early 1950's before being broken up again by the Korean War.

The Tigers were coached by Bob Pearl and Ron Stoner and the team played until 1977, when it became to difficult to field a team any longer after issued with their home field, the old Fairview Avenue Stadium.

Over 200 players have worn the black, orange, and white Waynesboro Tiger uniform. Even though they were called semi-pro athletes, most of them worked full time jobs while trying to make a couple practices each week.

Most players had to help pay for their equipment, but as a team they organized various fundraisers, such as selling Christmas trees in town, to help cover equipment and insurance costs.
