As a nice gesture to help celebrate their victory, they formed a motorcade that paraded through the property at Tioga Downs to thank Jeff Gural for helping to save their after-school and athletic programs earlier this year.
Tioga Downs’ Owner and CEO of American Racing and Entertainment, LLC, Jeff Gural, sent out a statement upon word that the escort circled Tioga Downs.
“I would like to congratulate the Tioga Central Tigers on their first New York State high school football championship, it is a well-deserved accomplishment for a wonderful group of student athletes,” said Gural.
He added, “From the moment we walked in the doors
of the school we could feel the energy, excitement and pride associated with being a Tioga Central Tiger. For these students to go from a period of uncertainty surrounding their cherished programs to the pinnacle event for high school sports is a terrific ending to a long journey this year. We look forward to being involved with Tioga Central for years to come and are proud of all the students, athletes, coaches, staff, volunteers and parents on a tremendous victory.”
