2020 REVIEW
The Commerce Tigers improved as the season went on last year. In their first four games, they went 1-3, but won four of their last six. “We played some tough games early, had a lot of uncertainty and a few games got cancelled due to Covid,” Cawyer says. “Our kids pushed through and started playing better towards the end of the season.” The Tigers saw some players sidelined for weeks at a time due to COVID-19, so they relied heavily on their depth and the development of underclassman in 2020.
