Woodie proud of his Tigers

Palmetto's resurgence has made a happy man of coach Raymond Woodie.
In a hole after an 0-3 start, the Tigers have won four of five and can clinch a third straight playoff berth Friday with a win over visiting Lakewood Ranch.
Not bad for a team that didn't score a touchdown until the third week of the season.
"I’m pretty happy with the improvement of the kids," Woodie said. "When you have young kids going against real tough teams, you always want to see improvement. We try to tell them, 'Let’s improve each week.' And they have."
The Tigers have received a jolt offensively from Marquis Green, whose switch from cornerback to tailback has given Palmetto a bona fide offensive threat. And Donald Campbell, typically a receiver, has adjusted to life under center, especially in the wake of quarterback Rian Kelly's ankle injury.
But the younger players have learned to work with the veterans, putting Palmetto on the cusp of a fine turnaround.
"I’m proud of my kids for working hard," Woodie said. "Like I always say, if you work hard, you’ll be in a good position. We still got a chance, and that’s all we ask for."
