We Earned Our Stripes: A Tiger's Tale Bernard Tench

A young man (Bernie Timmons) and his friends battle the early 2000s and its rack of challenges. Their foundation was build on God, family, and sports. But life has a way of bringing unexpected hardships. Learning how to deal with loyalty with childhood friends. Displaying respect and honor passed down from hardworking parents. Avoiding the temptations of the broad but broken paths of small-town USA. Devoted girlfriends who are torn by their boyfriend's college aspirations and dealing with their own emotional development. Hostile sports rivalries, gangs and choices that determine the outcome of life. All in a seven-year span! Follow these young cubs as they move through the Tiger Alley where they fought, crawled, cried, and survived. See how they earned their stripes.
