8-time PIAA State Champion Southern Columbia Tigers partner with Circle W Sports

Wellsboro, PA - The defending PIAA Class AA champions, and 8-time PIAA state champions, Southern Columbia Tigers football team are partnering with Circle W Sports this upcoming season.

Circle W Sports, LLC is an online service that provides a platform for high school athletic departments, teams, club and travel teams, and sports organizations to promote their coaches, programs, and student-athletes.

The Southern Columbia Tigers are one of the most successful football programs in Pennsylvania and one of the best small-school programs in the country. Since the advent of the PIAA playoff system in 1988, the Tigers have competed in 16 of the 30 state finals, winning eight, including a state record of five in a row from 2002 through 2006. From 1998 through 2006, the Tigers appeared in every Class A State Championship game. The Tigers won their first State Championship in 1994 and the Class AA Championship in 2015 and 2017.

Circle W Sports will revamp the Tigers current website, www.scatigerfootball.org, to integrate team news, photo galleries, history, and provide full game box scores and stat leaders while building upon the Tigers' rich program history.

"We are happy to announce a new partnership with Circle W Sports for our football programs' web page services," said Tigers head coach Jim Roth. "Circle W Sports provides a first class product that highlights and promotes our program and its athletes. Their software is easy to use and allows for up to date technology. I found Ed Weaver to be very professional and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure working with him to get the website started. We have been looking for a new website product and we are confident that Circle W Sports is a very high quality service that will effectively promote our program."

Circle W Sports found its beginnings in 2006 when owner Ed Weaver launched WellsboroFootball.com, the flagship website promoting the Wellsboro Hornet Football team. The organization provides the latest up-to-date scores, statistics, and coverage in this region. Since 2006, WellsboroFootball.com has recorded over a half million page views and has spawned other websites including WellsboroAthletics.com, WellsboroBaseball.com, WellsboroBasketball.com, WellsboroXC.com, WellsboroGolf.com, WellsboroSoccer.com, WellsboroSoftball.com, and WellsboroSwimming.com. Each website provides player information, rosters, schedules, statistics, and history about each Wellsboro team.

Circle W Sports also runs and manages websites for PIAA District IV, the Northern Tier League, the Tioga County Sports Hall of Fame and the PIAA District 4 Football Coaches Association, and provides statistical data to Home Page Sports, Fox Sports Williamsport, and the Valley Sports Report.

"Being able to work with the 8-time state champion Tigers is huge for us," said owner Ed Weaver. "This puts Circle W Sports on the map throughout the state of Pennsylvania based on the traffic and views of their current website. We're thrilled to have the chance to help Southern Columbia promote their talented student-athletes by pushing their website to the next level."
