Tigers head into 2026 recharged and ready to compete

EPHRATA — The Ephrata Tigers are gearing up for another competitive season of football in the Central Washington Athletic Conference. As the season draws near, the Tigers are ready to get back on the field and improve their skills after their successes last fall. “I think things are looking good for us,” said Tigers Head Coach Patrick Mitchell. “Really hopeful and looking forward to this great group of kids that we’ve got this year.” The Tigers finished 6-3 in the regular season last year to be ranked fourth in the CWAC and qualifying for districts. Ephrata came just short of entering the state tournament after falling to Steilacoom in week 10 last season.
